Full Time English Teacher (expired)

English For You, a conversation school in Nagano City, is hiring one position starting in the middle of March. Candidates should be energetic, love working with children (over 70 % of our classes are children with the P L S method), and have experience teaching ESL/EFL. Sponsorship is available. Some Japanese language ability is preferred but not essential. Please send CV/cover letter and photo through Gaijin Pot.

Teaching positions at English For You entail approximately 25 teaching hours per week during a five-day workweek. The salary is ¥250,000 per month during the initial three-month training period in Nagano, and ¥260,000 per month afterwards.

The school is centrally located, only a few minutes walk from Nagano Station. Nagano is a lovely temple city located near the mountains of Nagano Prefecture in the Chubu region of Japan. Nagano is famous for its fresh fruit and vegetables, internationally renowned ski & snowboard areas and its hot springs.

Nagano is a very affordable part of Japan, with the cost of living much lower than in the big cities. The school provides a private apartment for teachers, including a washing machine, refrigerator, and a bicycle. We cover all deposits and key money involved, but the teacher must pay monthly rent. Health insurance is also provided. A performance-based bonus will be awarded to the teacher at the end of the contract year.

We are a friendly English language school with currently a staff of six foreign teachers and a similar number of Japanese staff. Our school is committed not only to language teaching, but to providing our students with the tools they need to communicate confidently with people anywhere in the world. We are serious about our work, and we are looking for someone who is highly motivated, loves teaching, and wants to be part of a great team. We offer extensive training at the start of the contract, as well as weekly teacher workshops and feedback throughout the year to help all our staff to continue to improve.

Prospective teachers should be available for an interview at the school.
