You really need to have a connection. Also realize that more schools are becoming more strict about University degrees...(i.e. they are checking them more carefully to see if they are fake or not). Sadly, I think there is more than a waiting list for some of these jobs.

What is the best way to get a job as a school teacher in Japan

What is the best way to get a job as a school teacher in Japan?
My mom needs a job as a teacher (preferably Middle or High School//or if possible, an international school) in the Tokyo area. As our residency is in the US, we have hardly no connections to any of the schools in japan- which is why i need help. Numerous applications have been sent out to several widely known international schools but i doubt any of them will go through. i think we will have a better chance with public japanese schools but since their website are in japanese, i wouldnt know how to send an application or search for them in the first place is there some sort of job finding counseling agency which will help my mom find a job? thanks in advance :)

Have you looked at the JET program? Sorry, I think it might be more for students, but maybe someone there can help get your mom connected - good luck!

The only schools that I know that have a pharmacy school are for native speakers. As far as "summer school" the Japanese semester system is different then the US. The academic years starts in April and goes to August then has a break and goes from October to February. So its hard to take summer classes their. There are several universities in Japan that offer courses and degree in English. I recommend going to your college study abroad office and talk to them. Most courses you would take would transfer over but each university is different I hope this helps!
