Teach English in elementary, junior high, or high schools in the Hokkaido Region (including Sapporo City) ‹ Interac ‹ Japan Guide - 2015

There are a lot of workplaces around the world where you can find happiness, but you can find something truly meaningful by working inside the Japanese school system with Interac. Our teachers teach more than 2.1 million English classes each year, enriching the lives of millions of students in over 7,000 schools. These numbers are impressive, but what’s more impressive is that nearly 3,000 talented men and women like you are making it all happen. We are a growing company and you are invited to apply to join us in the Hokkaido Region from late March 2015.

The Hokkaido Region includes Sapporo City. We have a wide range of positions in Hokkaido at elementary, junior high, and high school levels. We aim to place teachers already residing in Japan in such positions within commuting distance of their current residences. We also welcome applications from those people who are willing to relocate and work in other areas of Japan. Be sure to mention in your application and cover letter the name of the area you are interested in working in within the Hokkaido Region.

We are looking for individuals who are dedicated and energetic, and looking for a career with a growing company that makes a difference in the lives of young people in Japan every day. As an Interac teacher you will be able to enrich the lives of children by sharing your knowledge of English language and communication skills as well as by giving insights into other cultures. Your job is two-fold: language instructor and cultural ambassador. These two aspects are inseparable and we will give you everything you need to become an expert in both by providing comprehensive initial training and ongoing support.

Interac teachers maintain a healthy work-life balance as they generally work from Monday to Friday with classes scheduled between 8 am and 5 pm. From time to time, you might be asked to work on Saturday for school sports or cultural festivals or there may be occasional ongoing training commitments. Otherwise, you can enjoy weekends and national holidays as well as extended breaks in winter, spring, and summer.

Now is the best time to apply for a teaching position starting in late-March 2015. Before doing so, we strongly advise you to check the above-mentioned requirements for this position, and to thoroughly check your application and cover letter one more time to ensure accuracy and relevancy. Also, always check that your phone number and email address are correct before submitting your application.

Interac is committed to creating meaningful career experiences and enriching lives and careers through education.
