Add or Change of Workplace
According to the Ministry of Justice website FAQ:
When a foreigner desires to change or add working places under his/her present status of sojourn, he/she must apply for and obtain permission to do so in advance. For example, this permission is required when an English teacher wishes to teach English at a different language institute from the one originally designated, or desires to teach English not only at a language institute originally designated but also at a different language institute under the same status of sojourn.

Does this include non paid English teaching?
It depends on which immigration office you talk to. it’s better to be safe than sorry, so head over to your local office and ask, or you can call them directly.
