AICKids/Teens English Teacher in Wakayama (expired)

AIC Kids is looking for a new teacher!

We are looking for an enthusiastic teacher who is passionate about helping students to achieve their goals, is flexible, and can work as part of a team. At AIC Kids we teach English in an all-English setting. This immersion environment helps set us apart from other English conversation schools. Our students take the Eiken test in order to mark their progress, so our curriculum is partially geared toward helping them achieve their desired level. To this end, we are looking for someone with the knowledge and ability to help students towards their Eiken goals by supporting them in the reading, listening, writing, and speaking aspects of the test.
Our program is intensive but fun, with teachers being responsible for planning and delivering lessons, therefore we are looking for someone who is confident in the classroom, can motivate young learners, and is knowledgeable about teaching pedagogy.
