There is, in Japan, a great demand for native English speakers teaching English, but most of that demand comes from private English “conversation schools”, or Ekaiwa, or JET, the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program.

Teaching English in Japanese Ekaiwa

Ekaiwa are very common in Japan, and are “schools” in which those teaching English will be actually offering individual of small class sessions of conversations. Ekaiwa give Japanese of every age a chance to engage in real English conversation; teaching English in this way can give the teacher a chance to see their students progress in a very short time.
