Trainee Native English Instructor - Hiroshima, Japan

Our schools in Onomichi, Hiroshima, are currently recruiting an entry level English instructor. This position suits a young, native speaker of English seeking a short term experience to build their teaching confidence. 

Trainees are responsible for assisting regular teachers 4 days a week, typically giving conversation or reading practice to very small groups of Japanese students for 3 or 4 hours per day during our school open hours (Monday to Friday, 2pm-10pm).

A private apartment with internet is provided close to the main school. MacDonalds, a 24-hour shopping mall and numerous convenience stores are a short walk from the apartments. A direct bus to Hiroshima city stops outside the apartments. Very close nearby is Japan's best cycling route, going island to island between Honshu and Shikoku islands.

For those coming with a Working Holiday visa, a wage to cover living expenses is provided. For those seeking a purely volunteer experience, living expenses are reimbursed. Any travel expenses between schools are also reimbursed. However, applicants are responsible for their own airfares to and from our schools in Japan.

Please note that this position is ONLY open to native English speakers that used English both at home and at school growing up. It isn't suitable for experienced teachers seeking Working visa sponsorship.
