Business English Teacher in Tokyo (Spring 2024)

You will be assigned to teach Japanese students in elementary, junior high, and high school classes in and around Tokyo. Student ages will range from 6 to 18 years old. Your role will be to assist the Japanese teacher in the classroom during English lessons. Elementary school lessons generally involve music, games, and activities that get the children to communicate as much as possible while motivating them to study English more. Junior high and high schools use an interactive approach that allows students and teachers to easily communicate. You will also teach general business communication courses to employees selected by our corporate clients in the Japanese industry, as well as to officials from national government ministries and agencies. You will receive extensive teacher training on arrival supplemented with regular feedback and counseling. In your business classes, you will be trained to use a small group, communicative, English-only, coaching-based approach. For all classes, detailed training plans and learning materials will be provided. Administrative assistance with class logistics will be provided by our bilingual Japanese course coordinators.
