ESL teacher openings.

We are a small culture school located on the southern tip of Honshu Island, about 40 minutes by train from Shimonoseki - across the Kanmon straight from Kyushu island. Our city is called Sanyoonoda and it has a population of about 30,000 people. We teach "New Dance" and "English Conversation." At present we have 6 English conversation teachers on our staff and 3 dance teachers. The dance teachers also carry out the day to day running of the school.

Our monthly salary is from Yen250,000 - 270,000 for a maximum 98 hours teaching schedule. Any hours taught over and above that figure are classed as overtime and remunerated at the rate of Yen2,500 per hour. Our teachers aren't usually asked to put in office time, but are only sometimes requested to attend a teacher's meeting that is occasionally held on Friday mornings.

BENDA additionally provides a contract completion bonus of Yen25,000 towards travel costs.

Teachers who are employed by us receive approximately two weeks paid vacation over Christmas and the New Year, plus two consecutive days off per week and their relevant Japanese National holidays. The duration of the winter vacation is dependant upon the school's teaching agenda.

Unpaid vacation is also taken into consideration during light workloads and the Summer months.

Incoming teachers usually take over the apartment of an outgoing teacher, therefore all "Japanese Key Money' expenses have already been taken care of and they are only asked to cover the relevant apartment's monthly rental charges, which usually amount to around Yen40,000 to Yen55,000 per month.

New teachers additionally have the opportunity to purchase furniture from an outgoing teacher and in this respect BENDA is willing to provide an interest free loan of up to Yen90,000 to facilitate the monetary transaction.

The academy also arranges a telephone line to all teachers' apartments and provides each teacher with a small city car for both business and pleasure. Each teacher being requested to pay the yearly tax/insurance for the said vehicle, coming to around Yen4,000 /Yen115,000 per year respectively.

The Academy provides work related accident insurance for all employees.

If you'd like to hear a little more about us, perhaps we could talk together over the telephone.
