As a Berlitz Japan instructor, your main role is to help students build confidence and practical communication skills through engaging, immersive lessons.

A minimum of a BA or BS degree is required.

Berlitz Japan traces its roots back to 1966, when the first Berlitz language center opened in Akasaka, Tokyo, during Japan’s period of rapid internationalization. The Japanese operation was formally established as a local corporation in 1980, building on the global Berlitz brand founded in the United States in 1878 and known worldwide for the immersive Berlitz Method® of language instruction.

Today, Berlitz Japan holds a distinctive position in the Japanese language‑education market. Unlike many eikaiwa schools that focus primarily on casual conversation, Berlitz is widely recognized for its strong corporate training presence, serving thousands of Japanese companies with business‑focused language and cross‑cultural programs. Its emphasis on professional outcomes, structured methodology, and multi‑language offerings sets it apart from competitors.

As one of the most established and trusted international language providers in Japan, Berlitz Japan combines global standards with local expertise, making it a leading choice for both individual learners and corporate clients seeking practical, results‑driven communication skills in a global business environment.
