Part-time Professional English teacher

Job Description

We want to create future leaders

Here in Japan, English teaching is a market of more than 800 billion yen. Many adults desire to learn English but are not successful. The main root of this problem lies in the education system, which hasn’t changed for the past 30 years. English education in schools revolves entirely on “teaching to the test”, focusing on grammar and English-to-Japanese translation exercises, which are easy to grade and only prepare children for University entrance exams.
However, companies need someone who can actually use English in real life, not just someone who can score high on standardized tests.
We should not repeat the same mistake we made in the past with the young generations. This is why we strive to expand the children’s opportunities by providing the best English learning solution.

Benefits

Common benefits can include training, opportunities for advancement, location, flexible working hours, health insurance, professional development, etc

・We have our own original program to make their English life to be their habit. We have a Japanese trainer who is going to track and support their weekly training.
