Job Description

Still not decided? Why should you teach in Japan?

IB JAPAN


What makes us different?

  1. No gimmicks. Our reputation is important, so your contract is clear and you always get your stated salary on time. We don't use overly-complicated incentive plans that change your base salary. We also don't require you to meet quotas to be paid your full salary.
  2. No surprises.We take a more straightforward approach to placement and discuss it with you before you arrive (you don't find out last minute).
  3. We care about our teachers. We're not too big, so we know everyone. There is always someone available to provide support in English (apartment set-up, questions about documents, problems with the trains - anything!).
  4. Continuous training and follow-up to help you grow as a teacher. We won't forget about you after your first week.

IB Japan is a great place to work for teachers new to the field and even for seasoned veterans. There are advancement opportunities for teachers that are effective in the classroom. You may eventually have a role in helping other teachers excel. We also encourage our teacher community to grow through social events. We value our teachers and want you to succeed!

  3. Safety. Japan has one of the lowest crime rates in the world.
  4. Convenient, reliable public transportation providing access to even the small parts of Japan. Plus, you don't have to drive, eliminating a major expense.
