Public School Assistant Teacher - Koshigaya, Saitama (expired)

We are looking for native English speakers who live or wish to live in or near Koshigaya city of Saitama and can work with us from June through early February of next year. This area is very close to Tokyo as well as central Saitama city.

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 would vary based on location and specific hours and other conditions. (Some conditions are still being determined.) Working hours follow the school schedule, starting in the morning and finishing in the afternoon. Most months are a set rate but months with very little work (less than 16 days, such as August during the summer holiday) would pay a daily rate of 9000-10000 yen.

We are especially interested in contacting the ALTs who have been working in the city and who may wish to continue for this year, but the position is open to all qualified candidates.

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:

- No limit on contract renewals, either in the city or throughout eastern Japan
- Company accommodations can be arranged
- Company coordinators always available to help with issues between teachers and schools.
