Job Description

COURSES

1) Young Children (0-6): The focus in these classes is on developing listening and speaking skills through the medium of play, songs and story books.

2) School Children (7-12): We offer 3 courses to this age group: a grammar-based, 4-skill course, a task-based course whose focus is on developing verbal skills, and a literacy skills development course.

3) Teenagers (13-18): We offer 2 courses to this age group: a conversation course whose focus is on developing real-time communication skills, and a literacy skills development course.

All teachers teach classes for school children, as well as classes for either the young children or for teenagers, depending upon the teacher’s skills and interests, and subject to availability at the time.

Each teacher is responsible for planning and running their classes, keeping lesson records, and providing feedback on both curricula and student progress.

One of the positions (late Jan/early Feb) is for a teacher of children aged from 0-12. The other position will be determined closer to the date, depending to a degree upon the applications we receive.

TRAINING

New teachers receive initial training and orientation in course curricula, language goals and teaching methods, as well as workplace procedures and standards. Initial training will be provided in the form of demonstration lessons, class observations and feedback sessions. Subsequent training and professional development will be provided in accordance with the teacher's observable skills and classroom performance.

WORK CONDITIONS & REMUNERATION

The school is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 9pm. The teacher's schedule is determined by the age of the students they teach. All staff receive 4 weeks paid annual holidays.

The starting monthly salary is ¥250,000. Teachers also receive a transport allowance and health insurance subsidy.

Well-executed classes, care and consideration for students, work productivity, good in-house communication skills and professionalism are qualities that we value highly. We provide as much assistance and guidance as possible to ensure the teacher's success in these areas, and reward accordingly with salary raises and performance bonuses.

Once the initial contracted period is completed (around 2 years), the continuing teacher will be offered an ongoing, permanent position.

We can provide visa sponsorship and assist with finding rental accommodation if required. Costs associated with moving or renting accommodation are not included in the remuneration package.

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR IN AN APPLICANT?"

We are looking for people who demonstrate an awareness of the responsibility they have to their students' education, and who are enthusiastic about personal and professional growth.

Our teachers work closely with each other, often collaborating on fun projects such as the video below.
