Job Description
Welcome to English Plus, centrally located in beautiful Yamanashi prefecture. We are a privately-owned English conversation school with a 30+ year history in Yamanashi. From our school grounds you can see Mt. Fuji, and Yamanashi offers endless opportunities for cultural and outdoor fun. We are just an hour and a half train ride from Tokyo, so more urban interests can be pursued close at hand. English Plus is a proven leader for language education in the prefecture, with over 8,000 students served over the years. We know that fulfilled instructors make for inspiring lessons and motivated students. By placing a high priority on in-house professional development opportunities, hands-on training, and open communication within our team, we aim to help each instructor fulfill their potential as true educators. We are privileged to work with both long-term teaching staff as well as instructors who have returned to work with us time and again. Our goal is simple - we pride ourselves on our unwavering commitment to supporting our students as they strive to be able to say, "Yes, I can speak English" We foster student growth through every interaction, both in and out of the classroom.
At English Plus, English is more than just a language. It is one of the most important tools our students can acquire to achieve their dreams, enabling them to explore opportunities outside of their backyards. It is our mission to provide experiences which pique our students' curiosity and build the kind of strong, trusting relationships which are key to establishing a positive mindset toward learning English. Interactions with teachers bring English to life, and that is why we welcome unique backgrounds and personalities in our teachers. Our foundation for student success is built upon the success of our teaching staff, and so we place great emphasis on training and professional development.
With this in mind, we are looking for dedicated, passionate and professional individuals with experience. Individuals who are eager to build their repertoire by acquiring the unique skills and techniques presented in our training program. The successful candidate will interact positively and connect deeply with students of all ages, and genuinely share in the joy of each student's growth. Flexibility, teamwork, and dependability will be indispensable attributes in the position as co-workers include instructors from Japan and a wide variety of cultural backgrounds. Respect for Japanese culture and understanding of the Japanese workplace will be essential for becoming a fully-contributing team member at English Plus.
