Teaching at Nakamura

What the job actually gives you, beyond the salary line

The pay is stated up front

Rp 7,000,000 a month full-time and Rp 100,000 per online session — the figures are written here, not hidden behind “competitive”.

A schedule you can shape

Take a full-time load, a few online sessions around your other commitments, or a part-time schedule agreed together.

The curriculum is ready

The syllabus, materials, and exercise bank already exist. You are not starting from scratch — your focus is teaching, not building a course.

Students with a reason to learn

Our students are learning in order to study, work, or live in Japan. There is a clear goal behind every class, and you feel it when you teach.

Connected to Japan

We work with schools, universities, and companies in Japan. Our teachers benefit from that network too, not only our students.

A team behind you

The academic team and your fellow teachers are there to talk through a class, a set of materials, or a student who needs a different approach.
