What we expect: Passion, fun outgoing personalities, and enjoyment are some important expectations. Candidates must have a strong desire to improve themselves professionally and want to grow.

Location: Osaka is the second largest city in Japan with its charm, a relaxed city best known for its food, fun, nightlife, straight-talking, friendly locals with some history and culture peeking through. Along with plenty of shopping and modern attractions, Osaka also has a historical side, the highlight of which is the Osaka Castle. The castle is a great place to discover more about Japanese history and to wander the beautiful grounds, especially during the cherry blossom season in April when the sakura blooms and the weather is often at its best. Take a look at the video below to see why we think is the best place to live and work in Japan.

If you're interested in applying, please submit your resume and cover letter. On your cover letter, please start the first paragraph with the word "Takoyaki." We want teachers that want to work for ABCDAVIDS and not just apply to any job.

We have a rigorous interview and screening process, which includes a day-in-a-life and in-person demo lessons for those who pass the interview stage.
