"WHAT DO OUR CLASSES LOOK LIKE?"
The focus in our young children's classes is on developing listening and speaking skills through the medium of play, songs and story books.

Our elementary school students attend one or more classes a week. We offer 3 courses each with its own curricula and goals: (1) A grammar-based, 4-skill course, (2) a CLIL-based course whose focus is on developing verbal skills, and (3) a literacy skills development course.

Teenagers and young adults, likewise, attend one or more classes a week. We offer 2 courses to this age group: (1) A conversation course whose focus in on developing real-time communication skills, and (2) a literacy skills development course.

Each teacher is responsible for planning and running their classes, keeping lesson records, and providing feedback on both curricula and student progress.

New teachers receive initial training and orientation in course curricula, language goals and teaching methods, as well as workplace procedures and standards. Initial training will be provided in the form of demonstration lessons, class observations and feedback sessions. Subsequent training and professional development will be provided in accordance with the teacher's observable skills and classroom performance.


"WHAT ABOUT WORKING CONDITIONS AND REMUNERATION?"
The school is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 9pm. The teacher's schedule is determined according to the age of the students they teach. All teaching staff receive 4 weeks paid annual holidays.

An initial monthly salary of ¥240,000 will be paid. Teachers also receive a transport allowance and health insurance subsidy.

Well-executed classes, care and consideration for students, work productivity, good in-house communication skills and professionalism are qualities that we at EFL Club value highly. We provide as much assistance and guidance as possible to ensure the teacher's success in these areas, and reward such success accordingly.

The contract is renewable at the end of the initial period. We can provide visa sponsorship and assist with finding rental accommodation if required. Costs associated with moving or renting accommodation are not included in the remuneration package.
