depends on many things. Just like here it will depend on the school district. In the south bronx you make 30,000 year, in westchester makes 70K+, Also besides the differences in public schools salaries there are different types of schools in Japan. As I assume you are a westerner, you may be interested in working at a private language institute. These are not really schools and most people working there are not really teachers. It is what it is and i won't knock it too much. The pay here is decent for asia, 1,800 to 2,500 USD per month at a guess. In a large city like tokyo, the money will just get you by. Small one bedroom or studio, some pocket money and that's about it. It's some of the best money in Asia but also the highest cost of living. Last I heard South Korea paid foriegn teachers the best in asia followed by japan. Thailand is 900$ month for foriegners and they are the bottom so, japan has to be at least 1,500. You can check daves esl cafe for exact opportunities. From my understanding, Japanese teachers make about the same or more than us foriegners. In some countries we get paid a lot compared to locals but I think in Japan we're about even if not treated as inferior.

How much money does an English teacher make in Japan?
I've been debating possible job opportunities for the future, and since I'm planning on moving to Japan I was wondering how much an English teacher makes annually? In a typical Japanese high school?

With a TEFL or TESL certificate you could get about 230,000 or 250,000 Yen a month which is about 2,800 American dollars, Japan is an expensive place to live but if you don't over spend, this salary will be enough for you, and you can also save some of it.

How much money can you make teaching English in Japan?

How much money can you make teaching English in Japan?
not as a teacher but as a tutor for college students in Japan. I heard you don't have to be a good teacher you just have to be good in conversations with Japanese College students. I was unaware of the fees you can earn but it would be enough to pay for your college tuition in Japan. I am a male native english speaker with partial Japanese descent minoring in Japanese Language which is plus points but how much can I make?

I think you heard wrong. No way can you make enough money teaching English to cover college tuition costs ! Students can only work part time. Regular English teachers average 250,000 yen a month.

Carl, you are misinformed... With a student visa, you can only work 28 hours a week. The visa will not allow you to work your first two months, so I tutor highschool students under the radar. I'm currently enrolled in a Japanese language school in Akihabara, I'm living in an apartment with 3 other people, and my rent is about 500$ a month. With my tutoring job, I pull in about 300yen/hr. Now I'm also working in a butler cafe, which pays really well. I just gotta make the customers feel like a princess. So you can definitely make enough to support yourself, and go to a university, as long as its not 早稲田. Oh, and I'm only 17, so If I can do it, you can do it.

some friends went to japan and was paid $5000 a month, but spent many hours teaching. he didn't tell me exactly what was discounted.

So, Bren, you pull in 300 yen/hr. Hope that was a typo or I don't know how you are getting by. Carl was spot-on with the law. Under the radar? That can work. Take Bren's figure of 300 yen/hr and see how many hours you would have to work to pay about $20K/year for college and see if you have enough time to attend classes and study too. Up it to 3000 yen/hr, take a guess at how many student you can get and do the same calculations. And speaking Japanese isn't really that much of a plus point if you want to teach English. If you want to teach English you shouldn't be speaking Japanese in class.
6 :
First of all, there are many English native speakers who want to teach English in Japan. You have to be a VERY exellent teacher if you want to earn a lot of money by doing that. AND you need to know how to teach English. Speaking English and teaching it are two different things. No offense,but you seem to play down the problem. Japan is not native Enlish speakers' heaven.

I dont know how much people make, but 25000 yen (japanese money) is pretty much the same as 250 USD. 100 yen is equal to about $1 CAD or USD but the rates change and i think it's somewhere in the 80s now :P so maybe 80 yen per dollar
2 :
The average monthly net income for a single individual is 180,000 Yen or $2,243. It is hard to live in Tokyo with that amount,though.
