Job Description

Students burst into giggles as the teacher carefully moves between them, watching for any signs of movement from those frozen in their platypus poses. With a grin, you announce that everyone is safe and ask, "What animal is next?" Instantly, a dozen eager hands shoot up. You call on one student, who excitedly shouts, "Elephant!" In eager agreement, you all begin stomping around the room like big, trumpeting elephants while singing the animal song. Suddenly, you call out "freeze," and the room fills with laughter once again as everyone stops mid-stomp.

Do you love spending time with kids? Do you feel that kids respond better to exciting, energetic activities and lessons? At Tokyo International School Group, we believe that kids will learn most effectively in an environment that is fun and active, so these are our foremost goals when teaching our students. If you love bringing smiles to children's faces and making them laugh with your silliness and jokes, then this may be the right position for you.
