Find a Japanese teacher

On JWC, "Find a Japanese teacher" lists Japanese language teachers who have registered with JWC and made their profile public. You can filter by teaching language (Japanese and support languages), prefectures for in-person lessons, online lessons, specialty (JLPT, Specified Skilled Worker exams, business Japanese, Japanese for caregiving and more) and qualification. Qualifications and years of experience are self-reported by each teacher and are not checked by JWC. You contact a teacher through the form on their page, and the message is sent via JWC.

On JWC, Japanese teachers can log in and use "Register as a teacher" to create a profile with a display name, teaching languages, areas, online lessons, specialties, qualifications and an introduction. When you set the profile to "Public", it appears in the teacher list and schools, companies and learners can contact you through the JWC form.

In "Find a Japanese teacher", set the specialty to "Specified Skilled Worker exams" to show only teachers who list that specialty. You can also filter by teaching language (support language) and online lessons, then compare each teacher's introduction, years of experience and qualifications. Specialties and qualifications are self-reported, so tell the teacher which exam field you are taking and your current Japanese level in your inquiry, and check how they teach. If you want to study with practice questions on your own, there is also Tokutei Ginou Supple, an exam preparation service run by AI Sapuri Inc., the company that operates JWC.
