A message from the CEO:

Thank you for your interest in RCS.

Our goal by dispatching ALTs is to raise the quality of public English education in Japan and promote team teaching in the classroom. To achieve our goal, we are looking for aspiring educators who share our ideas to work with.

In order to promote team teaching, an ALT must continually strive to better ones methods through in class experience and training that we hold. This being said, team teaching cannot be improved by only the work of the ALT. Because of this, the ALT can act as a consultant, giving advice as well as showing by example in order for the Japanese teacher to become an even better team teacher.

For those who just want to do exactly as the teacher says, or those who want to teach a class following a general lesson plan exactly because it’s easier, RCS is probably not for you. However, for those who actively want to try to improve English education, and wish to contribute to the growth of children I can say confidently you will like RCS better than any other English education company out there.

Together let’s make English education even better in Japan for the sake of the children’s future.

A message from the staff:

As Japan is globalizing, Japanese children are having more and more chances to encounter foreign languages, and interact with foreign people.

Many parents send their children to English conversation schools in order to raise a bilingual child. Many people believe English education is important from a very young age.

From the globalization of this country, the amount of children who attend English conversation schools after school is increasing, but there are still many children who learn a foreign language for the first time after they enter elementary school.

To those children, the ALT has a special place as the first foreign person or the first person with a different culture and language that they have met. Because of this special place the ALT holds, you have a lot of influence on the children.

We want the children to look back on their 9 years of mandatory education and be happy that they were able to have their ALT as a teacher.

Let’s be there to support the children as they grow, and teach in a way that when the year is finished the children will come to you and say “Thank you, I wish you could be my teacher next year too.”

The ALT coordinator and manager as a team will work hard to support you and your career as a member of the RCS family.

Please feel free to contact us anytime.
