Teachers are expected to use the Advantage English method for kids and adults. Most classes are small with five students maximum.

Work environment:

Most classes are taught at the six LA MODE and Advantage English schools in Nagoya, conveniently located near the Higashiyama subway line, the main line of the city. Sometimes teachers are sent to a student’s house or to a place of business. All the schools are located in affluent neighborhoods with good air quality and many parks.

Housing:

Single apartment, 55,000 per month furnished with necessities (minus futon), a minute away on foot from the subway station and 6 minutes away on foot from the main school. Great neighborhood with many shops, grocery stores and restaurants all in walking distance. No key money. Limited deposit and some returned barring damage.

Nagoya:

As a place to live, Nagoya is often described as, 'sumiyasui', the literal meaning being, 'easy to live'. Even though it’s the third largest city in Japan, Nagoya sometimes feels like a medium sized city in the United States. The city roads are wide, apartments comfortable and the cost of living reasonable. It has everything that Tokyo and Osaka do, just not as hectic and expensive. Great skiing and snowboarding are just two hours away. You can get to Kyoto in 45 minutes by bullet train. Osaka is an hour away and Tokyo, just under two. There is a vibrant and active expat community in Nagoya.

Staff:

Advantage English was founded by Raul Boggio (USA) in 1996 and

is run by Raul and Yoko Honda, a native of Nagoya. LA MODE is a sister company launched this year by Raul and a large Japanese corporation (future Tokyo employment for the very best instructors possible from 2015 living in Tokyo proper!)

The current full time instructors are from the USA and Canada (Steve, Claire, Kali, Stephen, Jon, Jill, Brieanna and Raul). English speaking staff include: Yoko, Yuka, Kaho, Rika and Yoshiko. We are a social bunch and have many events and parties. We have a near zero turnover rate. We are selective and instructors tend to stay. This is a very fun school to work at and Raul and Yoko are supportive and caring. All efforts are made to work in harmony.

Company culture:

Teach caringly. Look and be your best. Be independent but social. Accept constructive criticism. Be humble and always strive to be a better teacher and person. Stay positive and refrain from needless complaining. Work hard-play hard. Stay informed of world events.

If you’re not interested in learning Japanese and about the culture and people, then please do not apply for this job. If you already speak Japanese, great! We look forward to hearing from you.

Serious applicants include the following and adhere to the directions (the recruiting office rejects all applicants that fail to strictly follow the instructions below: (PLEASE READ BELOW CAREFULLY to avoid automatic rejection. All applicants must adhere to the below, regardless of qualifications. )

1. Resume (should clearly include nationality and age)

2. A recent picture and passport picture (one each)
