Careers
We're building
something worth joining.
Tabiji Academy is a company in its early growth phase, led by Mie Suzuki. We're not hiring broadly yet — but we're always interested in hearing from the right people.
What we're building
A company with a method at its centre.
The Tabiji Academy is built around one foundational insight: that the fastest path to real Japanese is a real human who knows you. Every role we add will serve that mission — directly or in support of it.
Integrity in teaching
We don't make promises we can't keep. Every claim on this site reflects what we actually deliver — and everyone who works here holds that line.
Quality over scale
We're growing deliberately, not as fast as possible. The method matters more than the headcount. If you want to build something that lasts, this is the right place.
Students first
Every decision — product, marketing, operations — starts with one question: does this make the experience better for the student? Everything else follows.
Current roles
What we're looking for.
Japanese Language Instructor
As Tabiji grows, we're building a roster of instructors who can deliver the Tabiji Method with the same quality and warmth Mie brings to every lesson. We're looking for native-level Japanese speakers with teaching experience and a genuine investment in each student's progress.
Express Interest →Operations & Growth (Expression of Interest)
As the academy grows, we'll need someone to own the operational and growth side — student experience, scheduling, partnerships, and the systems that let Mie focus on teaching. This role doesn't exist yet. But if you're the right person, we want to hear from you now.
