You will work with a dedicated and experienced teaching team, to impact the curriculum of the school with the chance to simultaneously work on additional teaching/technology qualifications.
Please include a cover letter explaining why you are interested in teaching with KOBILS and your experience working and/or teaching with technology. Applicants without cover letters or with generic cover letters will not receive a response.

Initially the position will involve teaching mainly in the after school program with a Tuesday-Saturday schedule and evening work on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (no split shifts). It is possible for trained teachers to change to the elementary school (Monday-Friday daytime position) the following April.

This course, and any other technology professional development would be subsidized by the school.
Experience, enthusiasm, and the ability to work unsupervised are key requirements. Strong Japanese skills are helpful although Japanese is not usually used in the classroom.
