Children's English Instructor - Kyushu ‹ Peppy Kids Club iTTTi Japan Co., Ltd.(イッティージャパン株式会社ペッピーキッズクラブ) ‹ Japan Guide - 2015

Owned and operated by iTTTi Japan, Peppy Kids Club is a network of over 1,300 children’s English conversation classrooms across Japan. Peppy Kids Club was established in 1989 and currently teaches more than 95,000 students at more than 1300 locations in Japan. We are currently the third largest provider of private English instruction in the country.

We are seeking English Native speakers to fill positions in the Kyushu Area (Kyushu: Fukuoka, Saga, Oita, Kumamoto), as well as other parts of Japan.

Our mission is to provide S.A.F.E. (Safe, Affectionate, Fun and Educational) lessons to every student in every class. Our students are greeted with an unmistakable level of enthusiasm and they attend one 60-minute lesson per week. Three of these monthly lessons are taught by a Japanese, English-speaking teacher and the fourth lesson is taught by a Native English Speaker. Peppy Kids Club Lessons take place in the afternoons and evenings. Lessons most often begin at 15:45pm or 17:00pm and can finish as late as 21:45pm. Teachers teach an average of 3-4 lessons per work day.

Peppy Kids Club teaches children exclusively! We teach a wide range of students – from 2 to 17 years old. The majority of our students are elementary-aged children (between 6-12 years old). Each class of students will be of a similar age. A typical class has an average of 6-10 children in it but classes may have anywhere between 1 to 15 students. Our lessons are conducted in an English-only environment – we do not use Japanese in the classroom. Lessons are designed to be conducted in a fun and interactive way.

Lesson curriculum is provided and our classrooms are well-stocked with a variety of teaching materials that are developed and produced by the company. We are very proud of our lesson curriculum and materials. Our teachers have the flexibility to adapt elements of our curriculum to the needs and interests of the students. Our lessons are filled with activities such as signing, dancing, and games to reinforce our lesson objectives. A major focus of our lessons is English conversation and internationalism. Working with children, while stimulating and rewarding, is also physically and mentally demanding.

Teachers are expected to work independently and are assigned to 3 or 4 different classrooms that they will visit every month. Our teachers are the only adults at the classroom and are responsible for the safety and well-being of each and every student – safety is our highest priority. Bi-lingual support from our Head Office is available any time lessons are held. A detailed monthly schedule and annual lesson calendar will be provided. Teachers use public transit to travel to their assigned classrooms. On average, classrooms are between 45-80 minutes away by public transit. Public transportation commuting expenses will be fully reimbursed.

Teachers will attend a comprehensive 2-week training program. Training begins in Nagoya and some teachers may complete their training in other parts of Japan. The training program is considered paid work.

Visa sponsorship, semi-furnished accommodations (single occupancy), and an attractive and competitive compensation package are provided.

No experience necessary but enthusiasm is required!
