Teach English in Iwate or Fukushima

Job Requirements

At James, our goal is to provide each of our students, regardless of their level, the best opportunity to become more conversant in English whether they are just starting to study, or want to improve their understanding of English. So, we are looking for teachers who have native level understanding and ability in English, as well as TEFL / TESOL or equivalent certification.

We also need teachers who are willing and able to teach all age groups and levels, but we understand that not everyone has had exposure to teaching all levels or age groups. If you are willing to take on new teaching experiences, then James is happy to provide any support, training and/or advice you need.

Job Description

James English School   is now accepting applications for teaching positions in Iwate (Morioka and Kitakami cities) and Fukushima (Koriyama City) Prefectures.

We offer classes in-house to students from 2 to 80 years old. Our teachers also travel to major worldwide companies to teach employees the English skills required for today's global economy. In addition, they teach a wide variety of students at schools, kindergartens and Culture Centers.

We offer a wide range of courses, from custom-made corporate syllabi, to test preparation for TOEIC, TOEFL, IELTS, EIKEN, etc.

We support our teachers, providing training at the beginning of the first year and giving them professional autonomy to be creative with their lessons. We also provide guidance for living in Japan, offer assistance with arranging accomodations and free Japanese lessons for teachers who need them. James is large enough to have a significant presence in Northern Japan while at the same time being small enough to treat our teachers as individuals.

We operate throughout the Tohoku Region, Niigata Prefecture and Tokyo. We have been in operation for over 40 years and have established an excellent reputation. Living and working in Tohoku will provide you with a lifetime of extraordinary memories. Some of your experiences may include visiting the hotsprings (onsens), participating in the local festivals, hiking or mountain biking in the summer, and skiing or snowboarding in the winter.
