ALT for September 2012

We may have positions available immediately, and will be interested to hear from those available earlier, but the vast majority of positions begin in late August or the start of September for that school term.

Positions in public schools include assistants to the Japanese English teacher (Assistant Language Teacher, or ALT) or more independent teaching with company support (Native English Teacher, or NET).

Whichever the position, the work involves the education and internationalization of Japanese young people in their own environment. ALTs and NETs teach during classtime, but also eat with students at lunch, play with them during recess or during sports practice, and in general socialize with the children to give them the chance to use English naturally with a native speaker. The work is very rewarding and the chance to impact hundreds of lives is there, with the many joys and responsibilities that go along with it.

Requirements:

-Native English Speaking ability
-Valid working visa or ability to be sponsored (being able to provide physical proof of holding a BA/BS degree or higher)
-Real enjoyment in working with children and impacting them positively

Recommendations/Preferences but not required:

-Japanese language ability
-Experience teaching English or living in Japan
-Driving ability for some locations

Heart English School can assist if necessary with:

-Full training and orientation
-Finding accomodation
-Arranging a rental car
-Visa sponsorship

Heart English School hopes to receive your application soon. Please contact us any time if you have questions for working in a Japanese public school, whether in the near future or looking forward toward the new school year.
