Hello,

Am Tesol qualified British guy presently living and teaching freelance in the Philippines. I would like to teach in Japan but only really to IELTs and Corporate students. I am 46 with associate degree in financial services. I spent many years in management training and sales with a well known global banking group. I took redundancy and embarked on eco touring as a Diving Instructor and owner operator of a diving eco tour business, most of my customers at that time were Japanese with limited English.

Japan seems to be a hard market to break into, as it appears associate degrees are not recognised, even though there is substance to my 'real' life qualifications.

Anyone have any thoughts? or a starting place

Thanks
