Sarah

International Recruiter

I had the opportunity to travel to Japan during my last summer of university for an internship that reinforced my love for the country. Upon graduation, I gained professional experience before returning to Japan as an ALT. I was placed in Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture.

Tim

Director

In 1994, with my newly acquired MA TESOL,  I set out for Asia with a dream to teach in universities throughout Asia.  Japan was my first stop and although I left several times, Japan kept calling me back.  I have been blessed to work with outstanding educators, educational institutes, and Japanese companies.

Nakita

International Recruiter

I first went to Japan in 2014 on a student exchange program to Niigata. I fell in love with the culture and language, and the time I spent inspired me to work as as an ALT from 2019-2022. I was lucky enough to be placed in a coastal town in Kochi prefecture and can't recommend it enough.

Lindsey

International Recruiter

My first dive into all the things Japan has to offer was during a study abroad trip in Osaka where I stayed with the most amazing host family. Upon graduating from university, I became an ALT in the charming town of Takanabe in Miyazaki prefecture where I worked at 4 schools from 2019-2022.
