Tact Kodomomirai Co. Ltd. (incorporating WinBe, Kids Duo and Kids Duo International) has an opening for a Full-Time Cover Instructor for our WinBe English School locations beginning in August - September, 2017. We are also looking for several staff to fill positions in existing schools located in Saitama, Tokyo and Kanagawa with the possibility of an immediate start.

We are looking for bright, friendly, professionally minded native-English speaking instructors who share a passion for helping students achieve their English-language goals and enjoy working in a fun learning environment.

Applicants must be enthusiastic to teach energetic lessons, and creative to find new ways of engaging students while teaching to a curriculum. Thorough training and materials are provided with continuous on-going training and support throughout the year enabling you to feel confident in your role and to develop your skills as an educator.

Applicants must enjoy working with people of all ages, show an eagerness to learn, and be able to effectively teach children, yet with a professional approach for communicating with parents as well. This position may also involve teaching some older students such as high school and adults as well.

An enthusiastic approach to helping organize and run events such as spelling bees, speech contests, and Halloween parties, is also a must. (a highlight for many instructors throughout the year as they get to see their students excel outside the regular setting)

Experience is not necessary, but a university degree is required for visa sponsorship purposes. Teaching qualifications are also a significant plus, but are not essential.

Successful applicants will be expected to play an important role in helping to promote, develop and grow schools when not on cover assignment, creating and building upon a successful, vibrant language school atmosphere, where students thrive.

Cover assignments may be short-period, for a day or two, but may also involve longer placements of a week, or even a month or two. The position suits an outgoing personality with a sense for adventure matched with a professional, responsible mindset. It is a great opportunity for the right person to live in and experience many different areas of Japan.

If this flexible work setting is not for you, and you are after a single school assignment, we are also hiring for several such positions, so please do not hesitate to inquire.

Start date:

Two weeks of initial training will begin early August or September/October in Tokyo. (**Housing arrangements and are provided at minimal cost during this period as required and training is paid.)

Hours:

5 days/week (often Tuesday-Saturday), 8 hours a day including a 45 minute paid break. Weekdays 13:00 – 21:00, Saturday 10:00 – 18:00 (may differ)

Holidays:

Three main vacations that fall predominantly on the three main holidays in Japan; Golden Week in May, Obon in August, and Christmas/New Years and teachers are entitled to 10 days of paid vacations after having completed a minimum six months of employment.

Company Benefits:

・Visa Sponsorship & Visa Extensions
・Housing Assistance
・Transportation Allowance
・Comprehensive Initial & Ongoing Training
・Incentive Bonuses available
・Professional Curriculum & Teaching Materials
・Social Security (Health Insurance, Pension, Unemployment Insurance)
・Career Opportunities
