Are you sure you want to? I hear you may have to stay till 10pm, till the dumbest kid passes the daily test...

Do you have a work visa or a holiday work visa? If so, you can go to several websites and find jobs. The best one is http://www.gaijinpot.com but you can go to others: http://www.ohayosensei.com http://www.jobsinjapan.com http://www.daijob.com You can search for a job on all those sites. If you do not have a work visa or otherwise, you may find it hard to find a legal part time job. In that case, you can go to one of the English instruction schools, but they usually don't offer part time jobs. However, you can get a visa through them. The main ones are: Nova, Aeon, ECC, and Geos. There are many other smaller companies, as well. Look around Nagoya and I'm sure you can find many of them. Be aware that NOVA has a very bad reputation for treating their teachers like garbage. http://www.teachinjapan.com/ - NOVA http://www.geoscareer.com/ - Geos http://www.aeonet.com/ - Aeon http://www.japanbound.com/ - ECC

what exactly will you be teaching? If you are a fluent Japanese speaker than it shouldn't be too difficult. If you only speak english then it's relatively difficult because most Juku langauge teachers are japanese and they teach mostly in Japanese as well. You'll have to be able to explain and teach in Japanese.
