The Profit Share Teacher is responsible for all aspects of the English school management. We are presently accepting offers of interest for the position of Profit Share Teacher at Kotoen.

The school’s previous owners are two nice British ladies who created a very personal environment. It is often described as a quaint, “Laura Ashley”, cups of tea, “Say when” kind of experience.

  • Demonstrated commitment in "coaching of communicative confidence" to an adult Japanese student body using the English language as your medium.

The teacher working in this position will be working closely with the school owner, and have open communication access to the owner as well as full access to our professional secretarial staff 51 hours a week.

This position is especially suited to someone who is looking to supplement their current work schedule with additional hours and experiences.
