Assistant English Teacher in Zushi, Kanagawa (May 2017)（期限切れ）

We are looking for native English speakers who live or wish to live in or near Zushi, Kanagawa and can work with us from May. We recently found we have need for another ALT immediately, and are especially searching for candidates who can work right away.

Positions may be in one or more elementary schools, junior high schools, or a combination.

The main duties of an ALT are to provide fun and effective English lessons and internationalize Japanese youth. It is important for ALTs to help bridge this gap by giving students first-hand knowledge and experience of different cultures, as well as providing fun and effective English lessons. Although teaching is an important part of the job, essentially teachers get to play and have fun with students and get paid for it! Many teachers play sports and games, or join clubs like kendo, judo, soccer, and so on after school.

The salary for this position is determined by specific school placement and certain conditions including specific days and hours

Basic conditions of this position:

- Native English ability
- Hold a university (or equivalent) before your starting date.
- Basic Japanese speaking ability (or at least a desire to learn)
- Some teaching experience or experience working with children
- Desire and ability to live and work in a foreign country and thus be independent

*Although these are not strict requirements, those who meet these requirements will be given preference.

Benefits:

- Visa sponsorship available
- No limit on contract renewals
- Assistance in arranging housing or car
- Company coordinators always available to help with issues between teachers and schools.
- Veteran ALTs who have certain qualities can be considered in future contract years for advancement within the company or to be introduced to a position outside the ALT field.

Please contact us as soon as possible for consideration. We are looking to recruit a large number of ALTs and look forward to your contact even if some time after this advertisement is placed. Those who pass the initial screening will be contacted, and after short e-mail correspondence, will have an interview via Skype. We look forward to hearing from you!
