Full-Time English Teacher

English Spot (ES) Language School, going on 25 years and being one of the most established schools in Osaka, is accepting applications for a full-time English teacher, for kids and adults, at its Tamatsukuri School, next to JR Tamatsukuri Station, starting in November.

WHY TEACHERS ENJOY, AND WHY YOU SHOULD APPLY FOR, THIS POSITION!

SMALL CLASSES: There are up to 6 regular students per class. Classes are manageable and a teacher can focus on each student's needs.

SMALL SCHOOL: ES is a small, non-chain school, independently owned and run. Everybody knows everybody. Each member of ES is a big, important and valued part of the school.

TEACHING EASE: Classes are divided according to level and age through high school, and by level for adults.

TEACHING SATISFACTION: Teachers have the same students each week and are responsible for and can see (and feel great about) their students' progress.

TEACHER INPUT MATTERS: Teachers can use their ideas and skills to design their lesson plans, based on ES goals. Teachers also play an integral role in helping to further develop the curriculum.

SUPPORT: ES staff, teachers, and the principal are readily available to help out.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR BECOMING A PART OF ES?

Love of teaching: ES wants teachers passionate about teaching and education.

Love of a good challenge: ES needs teachers who will go the extra mile/marathon to get what has to be done, done, for the sake of giving the best education to its students, being the best school ES can be, and being the best teacher a teacher can be (has to be!).

Enthusiasm: ES is looking for teachers with high energy, who always have a positive outlook, and can bring out the best in their students, co-workers and staff!

Professionalism: Teachers are expected to represent the school, and their own culture, to the highest degree.

Adaptability: Teachers must be willing and able to receive training and be able to teach and adapt to the variety of classes we teach at ES, and to the various needs of the students.

A sense of independence and team play: Teachers are given the tools to and expected to do much of the work on their own, while also considering the needs and schedules of the other employees. At the same time, teachers are expected to ask for help when needed, and give help, even when it's not asked!

Experience: Experience in a similar environment is preferred, as well as knowledge of the Eiken. Entry-level applications are, of course, also accepted, provided the teacher is very willing and very able to learn (which is why we are posting this as an entry-level position!)!

We are looking forward to receiving your application, NOW!
