Heart English School is now recruiting for 2008!
US, UK, Canadian, NZ, Australian citizens needed!
Qualifications required: University Degree and TEFL certificate / experience
'Heart English School' is based in Mito, Ibaraki Prefecture, but they have schools around the Tokyo area and in Tokyo itself.
The positions are for ALT (Assistant Language Teachers), to teach in one of the schools for a year from April this year. Training is provided, and because they are assistant teacher positions you would generally be supporting the resident Japanese teacher, making this much gentler way into teaching English abroad, if you are new to this.
Japanese language ability is not essential, as the resident teachers can speak English, and you would only need to speak English to the students. The classes would either be Junior High School (12-16yrs roughly) or Elementary (kids).
Payment is 230,000 Yen per month (1070 UK pounds), for 35 hours a week (M-F, 7hrs/day). It's possible to do other work as well as this, as you will receive a Working Visa, which is valid for a year. You will be given assistance with finding accommodation too, if you would like.
Hope that helps, any more questions please ask.
