TTR is the best foundation for a new start teaching abroad

I had the best experience with TTR. Tomoko is attentive, patient and always willing to make herself available to field any questions or concerns that I had.

Tomoko’s attention to detail and organisational skills are unimpeachable. TTR has the highest level of professionalism and met my expectations.

Tomoko has a warm, friendly disposition which made it easy to interact with her during the long application process. Tomoko always projected a sincere concern in making sure that I felt supported throughout the process. Even once I arrived in Japan, Tomoko routinely checked in with me which I found very comforting.

If you are looking for assistance in making your teaching abroad dream materialise seamlessly, TTR should be your first choice!

Pros
  • High level of professionalism
  • Lots of support
  • Friendly staff
Cons
  • Long wait time due to COVID restrictions
  • Uncertainty due to COVID restrictions
  • Apartment placement not the best

Tamaki TEFL Recruitment is all the support you need!

Tomoko Tamaki is hands down the number one recruiter in the industry. She is extremely kind and helpful, and thanks to her I can work in a stunning environment with fantastic colleagues.

Tamaki TEFL Recruitment goes beyond when it comes to helping you organize your paperwork and always responded quickly to questions and provided any assistance needed. Even with the constant changing policies due to Covid, she kept up to date and readily contacted me and kept the process going smoothly.

Tamaki TEFL Recruitment are not only good at the analytically aspect of the job, but Tomoko genuinely cares about the people she is working with. She is constantly checking up on me since my arriving into Japan, and I know if I ever need help, she’s just a message away. I am so grateful to have gone through Tamaki TEFL Recruitment, I couldn’t have asked for a better start in my teaching career.

Thank you, Tamaki TEFL Recruitment you’re simply the best!!!

A Long Two Years Paid Off

Tomoko was my first point of contact when I started trying to get into Japan to teach back in 2020 and two years later when Japan opened the borders in 2022 she was the first person who contacted me when I landed.
It has so far been an amazing expirience, I love my location in central Japan (What I requested) and I love my schools and students.
I've only been here for 3 months and it's already been an amazing expirience which can only get better.

Thank you Tomoko for making this possible :)

Pros
  • Tomoko made the process very simple
  • She was always on hand to help when needed

Recommending Tamaki TEFL Recruitment

Starting my journey to living in Japan was scary. I experienced a few bumps in the road with other recruiters, until I stumbled upon Tamaki TEFL Recruitment. Tamaki TEFL Recruitment is always helpful and attentive to my needs. They took the time to be concerned about my well being and care about my needs. They are very professional, and are always transparent with any and all questions I have. Everything was clearly explained to me regarding living in Japan, which helped me tremendously when I arrived. Since being in Japan, Tamaki TEFL Recruitment still makes an effort contact me and to continue checking on my well being and seeing if there is anything they can help me with. The fact that Tamaki TEFL Recruitment shows a genuine concern and care for me is truly appreciated. I will forever be grateful to Tamaki TEFL Recruitment. I would recommend Tamaki TEFL Recruitment to family, friend or stranger alike. Knowing what I know about Tamaki TEFL Recruitment, I know they would be in good hands.

Thank you TTR

Tomoko helped me tremendously during the application process. Thanks to her it was not as stressful as it could have been. She was professional and supportive, and she checked in with me regularly once I'd arrived in Japan to see how I was settling in. Moving to a different country can be daunting. I'm glad I had the excellent support of TTR to help ease the transition.

Teaching in Japan has been fun and challenging. Given the choice, I would definitely do it again and I would choose to go with TTR.

TTR with Tomoko

Being part of TTR, everyone knows that Tomoki is professional, kind, easy to approach and builds rapport with the applicants. TTR showed such a level of expertise that I was able to trust this recruiting agency for my process to teach in Japan.
TTR were well versed on the company's requirements and conducted interviews accordingly. I didn't feel intimidated and the process of getting things done, was done effortlessly. I loved the consistency in check ups and the desire that TTR wanted to see you succeed and transition to your dream job or place of work.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
It's never too late..., as the saying goes. Try something different like teaching abroad, and if your favourite destination is in one of the zones TTR oversee, you'll be well taken care of.

Excellent in every regard

Tomoko was incredibly professional, helpful and kind from the get go. She and her team helped me with every stage from first inquiry to arriving with my company, and even after that, checked in regularly to see how I was getting on. She guided me through every step of the process, and was really helpful in letting me know exactly what I had to do.

I only gave very general outlines as to where I wanted to be placed, but I could not be happier with where I got put. The area I was in was exactly what I wanted even before I knew what I wanted. The work life balance was very generously on the side of life and I managed to really get under the skin of the local culture.

I cannot recommend TTR enough. They made the whole process very easy and I felt supported all the way through. As well as the outstanding level of professionalism (I honestly wondered several times how someone could keep track of every single detail like that), I felt that there was a level of personal care that I've only rarely seen with other places.

Thanks a million to Tomoko and her team, I'm massively grateful for their guidance in this amazing experience!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Say yes to as much as you can! It was great to be able to experience things I'd never even considered doing before.

TTR is the Best

Working with Tomoko was the absolute best. From start to finish of the recruitment process she was professional, thoughtful and very patient. TTR helped with just about everything, from applying for the visa to my departure to Japan, nothing was left undone. TTR was able to answer all questions and provide useful tips all while getting me excited to start my new journey.

I have been in Japan for 8 months now and I absolutely love it! TTR still ensures that I am doing okay and has continued to offer help with anything - this is really comforting as being abroad in a foreign country it is nice to know that you are being looked out for. Thank you TTR!

I would definitely recommend working with TTR if you are searching for a seamless transition into a new life abroad!

Questions & Answers

Hi Zac! I am pretty sure that everybody needs at least a bachelor's degree (or equivalent) to get the Japanese work visa. I can't speak for the other countries though. Also, there could be exceptions, but you should verify with the Japanese immigration site info: https://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/index.html Hope it helped! Have a good one!
