English Teacher in JAPAN

Company Description:

Established in 1983, Kohgakusha Co., Ltd. is involved in many facets of education and training. Our goal is to provide students with skills that they will value for the rest of their lives.  We believe the starting point of ?true education? is ?interactive education? and since the founding of Kohgakusha, we have been demonstrating to society the worth of this idea by integrating ?interactive education? into our curriculum.  Education that simply forces students to study is not effective.  We encourage our students to set their own goals and achieve them with the support and guidance of teachers and parents.  We believe English is not only a spoken language but also a living culture. Many Japanese will never get the opportunity to travel or live abroad. Thus, it is essential for them to have the English experience brought to them. We plan and organize Halloween costume parties, Easter egg hunts, Christmas parties and other cultural events to allow our students a glimpse of English culture.

 

Currently we have over 13,000 students learning in our twelve divisions. Ever since opening our first English language division in 1994, we have experienced demand for English communication skills.  The number of schools and the number of native teachers from various English-speaking countries continues to grow. 

 

We are looking for enthusiastic and talented teachers to join our team.
