[Direct Hire] R&D Manager – AMJ Academy

At AMJ, we do not believe in one way instruction or teaching toward a single “correct” answer.

✔️Mock Trials (“Justice in Action”) 
✔️City Design Projects (“City of Tomorrow”) using tools like Minecraft 
✔️Entrepreneurship & Marketing Projects (“Market It!”) 
✔️Science experiments, storytelling, and media production 
Through these experiences, students learn to analyze, discuss, collaborate, and express their thinking in English.

The world is changing, and education is evolving with it — both in Korea and globally.
 We are not preparing students for yesterday’s tests, but for tomorrow’s world.
We are looking for teachers who:

✔️can lead engaging, discussion-based classes 
✔️are comfortable moving beyond rigid, textbook-driven teaching 
✔️believe in developing students’ thinking, not just their answers 
✔️are adaptable, proactive, and growth-oriented 

Successful instructors will receive a competitive salary, performance-based incentives, and a positive, supportive working environment.
