Description

Opened in 2018, Newtalk has established itself as a leading English provider in Kobe. Our philosophy is that the learning environment and the learning support provided outside of lessons is just as important as the lessons themselves. We are currently at our capacity and looking to bring someone into the team to help with growth.

Our methodology combines traditional and modern approaches to language learning. We provide a carefully built mix of input and output for students to advance their English in the fastest way possible. While lessons are taught mostly in English, we require an individual with Japanese knowledge. At Newtalk, we believe that instructors should have experience learning Japanese, in order to be able to understand the language learning process and properly explain language concepts from a Japanese perspective.

We are looking for someone with a positive, proactive and motivated mindset.


Responsibilities:

Follow the newtalk curriculum to ensure that students excel in all areas of language learning (speaking, pronunciation, listening, confidence, writing, reading, grammar and vocabulary). This involves:

• Teaching 40-minute lessons
• Creating custom content for each student in preparation for lessons (this takes roughly five minutes per lesson)
• Assigning targeted input to help with grammar and vocabulary acquisition
• Marking written assignments when necessary
• Dealing with student questions via LINE during teaching hours
• Explaining English grammar, vocabulary and expressions from a Japanese perspective and in Japanese when necessary
• Adapt to student needs when necessary
• Maintain lesson records and create occasional progress reports for students
• Participate in events and help out preparation
• Hold occasional seminars on language learning topics


Compensation:

We offer a competitive salary (paid per 40-minute lesson including prep and student maintenance time (estimated at five to ten minutes per lesson))
• Probationary period (first three months): 2000 per lesson
• After three months: Raised to 2300 per lesson
• After one year: Raised to 2500 per lesson
• Transportation allowance
• Paid initial training, with ongoing training and feedback
Additional Benefits:
• Assistance in further Japanese learning
• Open work space to relax in between lessons
• Opportunities to learn other skills if desired and assist in business areas of newtalk (photo editing, video editing, software engineering, social media)


To apply:

• Please send a copy of your resume, cover letter, and a recent photo to our email address
• After reviewing applications, selected candidates will be emailed for interviews
• A successful candidate will be selected for paid training
• Upon completion of training, the candidate will be extended an official offer
