Enthusiastic teachers who enjoy working with kids needed for positions in Japan

Keio Academy, a Japanese company based in Nakatsu-City, Oita Prefecture is seeking enthusiastic, experienced English teachers to work full time. We are looking for people with cheerful personalities who enjoy and are effective at teaching children.

Job Description:

This teacher will teach a variety of English classes of various sizes and skill levels. Students will be learning basic conversation, vocabulary and eventually reading and writing in English. Teachers will have curriculum and materials available but are expected to plan their own lessons and collaborate with the other 11 native English speaking staff on their lessons.

The hired teacher will work 5 days a week for a total of 40 working hours per week. There is a maximum of 26.5 classroom-teaching hours and the remaining time is for office work and lesson planning.

City Description:
Nakatsu City is a mid-sized castle town in northern Kyushu. It is the 3rd largest city in Oita Prefecture. It is big enough to be convenient but small enough to retain its charm. It is home to many shrines, temples, teahouses and the yearly Gion festival that is a major attraction of the area. Nakatsu also boasts some very nice hiking trails, cycling paths and numerous hot springs. It is also very easy to get away for the weekend to a larger city like Kokura, Hakata or the hot springs resort town of Beppu. All of which are only a short distance away by train.
