A client school in Machida City has recently reached out to us, seeking a full time JSHS English teacher for their ESL classes. This is not an ALT / team teaching position, so our teachers must be able to teach and manage classes alone, without the support of the Japanese teacher. If you are looking to move away from ALT work, and take your teaching skill to the next level, this just might be the stepping stone for you. Please see the details below and send your updated resume to recruit@educareer.jp if interested.
