Part-time English Literature Teacher for International Junior High (expired)

Teacher needed for Hiroo Gakuen Junior and Senior High School International Course. We are looking for a specialist in English literature rather than an English language teacher. All students are native level English speakers so we require native English-speaking teachers to teach in English. Students are not learners of English. No Japanese speaking ability is necessary.

There will be up to 9 hours a week of reading and writing classes for junior high school students. Previous experience with this age and a relevant first degree are valued over formal teaching experience and qualifications. The teacher would be responsible for preparing and teaching classes, setting and grading homework and setting and grading tests. Formal tests are given five times a year and teachers would be expected to be available to proctor tests.

The curriculum and content are all fixed and all materials and texts are provided. We are looking for a bright, energetic person who enjoys teaching and is confident that they can provide motivating, challenging literature lessons to our students.

The salary is 3,500 yen per hour, times number of contracted hours, times fifty-two weeks, divided by twelve. An example nine-hour weekly schedule would be paid as follows: 3500 x 9 x 52 ÷ 12 = 136,500 yen. It is important to note that even though this is a part-time position, the amount paid remains constant throughout the year so is not affected by summer or winter vacations or by whether classes are scheduled or not. Transportation costs are also covered and all salaries are paid on the twentieth of the month.

All classes are 50 minutes in length. Candidates can choose their schedule, bearing in mind that the regular school timetable is spread across the week from 8:30 - 15:15 Monday to Friday and Saturday mornings 8:30 - 12:25.
