JOB DESCRIPTION:
Looking for variety in your career as a professional English teacher? We can offer that.
A Four Seasons teacher has up to 20 teaching hours per week and they could be spent anywhere from fine-tuning the English negotiation skills of senior business executives to introducing English to young children. Our classes are generally small from 1-10 people usually, averaging perhaps 5. But we also have some classes in kindergartens with up to 30 kids. The needs and levels of our students vary greatly, but most all are seriously committed to learning. Those who simply want to be entertained don't usually stay long... after all, we encourage our teachers to require homework!
We respect our teacher's professionalism and generally allow them to choose from selected course books, design their lessons and structure their classes. However, many of our client companies require we choose a course book and follow a prepared syllabus. We provide professional support and materials when requested or needed, but encourage our teachers to bring their own experiences into the classroom.
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:
Four year university degree, (ESL/EFL or teaching preferred).
TESOL or TEFL cerification preferred.
Prior teaching experience strongly preferred, but will consider recent graduates with above certification.
MA in TEFL or RSA DELTA preferred. Will also consider MA's in Education and Linguistics and related fields, but prefer ESL focus.
Ability to work with all ages, from very young children to adults.
Valid driver's license and International Drivers Permit (International Drivers Permit is valid for one year from arrival).
Japanese language ability preferred but not required.
Good people skills, organizational abilities and good writing abilities are expected.
Familiarity with standard computer software.
Qualifications to teach additional languages (other than English) a strong plus.
BENEFITS:
1 year renewable contract, visa sponsorship, health insurance, paid vacation time, use of a company car, furnished housing. Alternating five and six day work weeks. Salary starts at 230,000 yen/mo. and varies with education/experience of applicant.
