Seven Seas English Academy (SSEA) is now seeking a part time native English teacher at its head branch in north-west Tokyo (Nerima Ward) due to its lack of empty slots for new students. SSEA is getting a lot of new students and expanding its business despite the economic turbulence under the COVID-19, thanks to its unique style class and the greatest human resources.

The ideal applicant is someone who can teach English sincerely and politely, and who can maintain a rapport with our Japanese students. We hope to find a candidate who aims to stay in Japan long-term and is interested in building an understanding of Japanese culture and customs in order to better relate to their students.

Some basic proficiency in Japanese is preferred, but not required. The majority of work is carried out in English and all support staff are English-speaking.

Any prior teaching experience you have will certainly be an advantage, but is not considered mandatory, as we believe the most important attribute for a successful English instructor is your desire and ability to connect with your students. Therefore, we look forward to receiving your application even if you have little to no previous teaching experience or Japanese language ability but have an interest in learning more.

SSEA is a rapidly growing business and the quality of our teaching staff as people is our strongest selling point among our students. We also offer a highly competitive hourly rate, flexible working hours, generous holidays, convenient locations, no strict dress code, and free Japanese tuition for dedicated staff members.

All of this, plus a casual and easygoing environment makes SSEA a great place to work with a unique, close-knit, welcoming atmosphere that is rare among English schools in Tokyo. Those differences are from its unique business management that the school is managed not only by the Japanese founder but also by western executives with flat relationships to realize an ideal workplace. Our aim is not to make large profits, but to improve conversational English education in Japan not as a Japanese company but as a truly international organization where anybody can work comfortably and challenge various things depending on their efforts and capabilities regardless of nationalities, and where nobody can be treated as disposable parts. As an evidence of the comfortable workplace, all instructors keep working here at SSEA for over 2 or 3 years, or even longer, and nobody has left here for the past 3 years. We look forward to hiring someone who can help us meet that goal!

Our instructors are the first assets of SSEA. Let’s challenge the huge goal together, as it's you who will establish our future by ourselves.

Tasks include:

• English teaching to students (from elementary school age to seniors)
• Preparation of classes and curriculum
• Collection of tuition fees
• Lesson scheduling
• Tidying classroom

Contract Working Hours: 

• Tues to Fri : 15:45pm to 9:45pm
• Saturday: 8:45am – 4:45pm

* Full-time position could be offered depending on the performance of the employee

Payment: 1,750 yen to 3,200 yen (dependent on type of class and number of students) per hour scheduled (45 mins lesson + 15 mins prep)

Transport Costs: Paid up to 800 yen per day.

Contract Term: Initial contract 6 months with a 3 month probationary period. Second contract 1 year upon renewal.
