Our business has grown every year since opening, and we are looking for another teacher to help aid us in our next stage of growth.

EPIC English House provides fun, creative, and engaging experiences in the English language for children ages 0-2 (with a guardian), children 3 and up, as well as adult classes at its English language conversation schools. We also provided contracted lessons at local kindergartens. Our teaching staff prepare and teach fun and engaging English language lessons.

We offer:

• A competitive monthly salary of 250,000 - 300,000 yen depending on experience and qualifications
• Transportation reimbursement
• Bonuses
• Paid holidays (increased every year)
• A fun and dynamic work environment with a family-like atmosphere
• Autonomy! Freedom to make your classes interesting and cater to your student's needs

• Initial fully paid training period as well as full-staff training sessions throughout the year

Other benefits:

• Unemployment insurance
• Worker accident compensation insurance
• Fully paid training
• Family tuition - NO CHARGE!
• Opportunities for growth within the company (based on performance, desire, and company needs)
• Annual company outings

Job Duties:
At EPIC English House, our teachers teach English to students of all ages in a fun and engaging manner, cooperate with other teachers and staff, help at school events, actively participate in and seek out professional development opportunities, and contribute to keeping the school environment clean and tidy. Teachers are also expected to greet parents.

What we expect:
While there is a set curriculum, each teacher has the freedom to make their class their own, creating a diversity of teaching styles at EPIC! If the teachers are engaged and enjoy what they do, the students will follow. We want teachers who are passionate, fun, silly, and outgoing. Candidates must have a strong desire to improve themselves professionally and want to grow. You will be a contributing member of a strong and supportive community of teachers and leaders who care about being the best and providing the best to our students each and every day. You will also be able to help shape our growing school. EPIC English House prides itself in our ability to provide strong professional and personal support to its teachers paired with the above industry average compensation and outstanding benefits package, which is why we boast a near-perfect employee retention rate.

Location: Kobe is the capital of Hyogo Prefecture and one of Japan's ten largest cities. Located between the sea and the Rokko mountain range, Kobe is also considered one of Japan's most attractive cities.

Kobe has been an important port city for many centuries. All EPIC English House locations are a short train ride from Kobe's bustling downtown, and not much further is Osaka, Japan's second largest city.

If you're interested in applying, please submit your resume and cover letter.  On your cover letter, please start the first paragraph with the word "EPIC Tiger."  We want teachers who pay attention to detail and want to work for EPIC English House.

We have a rigorous interview and screening process, which includes coming to the school to see what our classes look like, and in-person demo lessons for those who pass the interview stage.
