Public School ALTs in Nishio city, Aichi

Nishio is a medium sized city of about 100,000 people, just south of Anjo and Okazaki cities and west of Gamagori city. Nishio is a quiet city, right next to the water and famous for it's seafood market (eel is the local delicacy!) and Japanese green tea.

We would prefer our ALTs to live in or near the towns they work in but commuting in from other areas is not out of the question. Driving is preferred but this position does not actually require driving as the schools are all very near to the Meitetsu Gamagori train line and can be accessed by train quite easily.

ALTIA CENTRAL enjoys an excellent reputation and is a highly respected company both with Boards of Education and amongst the English teaching community in Japan. Most of our ALT positions are in prefectures such as Aichi, Shizuoka, Gifu, Mie and Shiga in central Japan, as well as other positions south of here in Osaka, Okayama and Hiroshima prefectures. Our ALT positions offer the opportunity to join a great company and experience working in the public school system. You get a chance to learn and use the Japanese language on a daily basis, to experience and appreciate cultural differences, and most importantly to be positively involved with the development of young children.

If you have the desire to accept this type of responsibility, please contact ALTIA CENTRAL. We offer a stable, reliable and professional support system and our ALTs enjoy a comprehensive benefits package including generous, fully-paid vacation periods. We also provide excellent teacher training, an amazing array of educational resources, apartments and other benefits.

A strong desire to live and work in Japan, good Japanese language skills, and teaching experience with young learners is also highly recommended. A minimum BA/BS degree is required, and a degree in a relevant field such as Japanese, Japanese History, East Asian Studies, Linguistics and the like are particularly useful though not absolutely necessary.
