English Tree Staff Service specializes in native English teacher placements for language institutes and independent language schools in Japan. Our highly personalized, comprehensive service saves you the time, stress, research, and money that in-house recruiting inevitably requires. Our commitment to meeting your specific staffing needs, our diverse candidate pool and our knowledge of the process for bringing teachers to Japan ensures our capability of matching you with the teachers that will prove to be a good fit for your organization.






Ensuring that your school has the native teaching staff it needs to effectively satisfy your customers is of the utmost importance to language learning schools. Costly overseas recruiting trips require a great deal of effort in terms of advertising, screening, interviews, interview space, etc…- and this is without even including the considerable travel costs of such endeavors. This can be a great challenge to many language schools in Japan that lack the budget for recruiting overseas. However, with English Tree’s Staff Recruitment Service, your school can gain the advantage of a first class recruiting service but without breaking the bank. We are working with schools across Japan to provide them with the qualified staff they need. We are confident in our ability to do the same for you at a price you can afford.

English Tree recruiters recruit native English speakers from several English-speaking countries including the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, The U.K., and South Africa. Recruiting all across the English speaking world, we have assembled a skilled pool of open-minded candidates possessing exemplary organizational and human interaction skills. Our wide-reaching system of recruitment throughout the English speaking world combined with our careful screening process guarantees your school ready access to great candidates capable of satisfying your staffing needs.




In Japan, English education is a highly competitive industry. To be successful, it is essential that your school has ready access to reliable, dedicated, and service-oriented teaching staff. However, due to the competitive nature of this industry, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find quality teachers.

Through our careful recruiting process and personalized approach to assessing and matching the needs of your school, English Tree is fully committed to providing your company with quality teaching staff, fully-suited to your individual needs.



Save Time, Effort and Money
Doing your own, in-house recruiting of foreign workers demands a lot of time and money.

English Tree will guide you through this process to ensure all of your hiring goes as quickly and smoothly as possible.

We are here to get you the qualified staff you need with minimum cost and effort on the part of your school.
