Is there a future in teaching for someone like me?
I’m a 43-year-old female with an MD degree from the Philippines, but no professional teaching experience or JLPT certification. Do you think I would even be considered if I applied for a teaching position—either in high school or in a B.S. program? Looking into teaching sciences / healthcare subjects.
Back in high school through medical school, my professors and classmates often said I had a natural talent for teaching. They praised the way I delivered reports, with clarity, structure, and attention to detail.
Since graduation, I’ve devoted my time to my own family, raising and homeschooling my children, while doing part-time business.
My family has a deep love for Japan. I’ve visited as a tourist at least twice a year. Recently, I’ve been wondering: could I pursue a teaching opportunity in Japan and possibly move there with my family?
I’d appreciate any insight or advice. Thank you!
