◆ Kids Duo: Teaching through creativity and fun

Kids Duo focuses on fostering students’ confidence and abilities in English via interactive games and activities.

Our motto is “Play in English, learn in English.” We create fun, safe, and comfortable environments where our students learn real, usable English.

Kids Duo teachers lead large and small groups of students (ages 3 to 12) in a variety of highly active games and activities. This includes arts and crafts, music and dance, social studies, outdoor programs, and more.

◆ Teachers

While we support teachers with an established curriculum and lesson plans, successful teachers grow and expand on these foundations by providing their own unique and original games and lesson ideas. Our approach allows for ample creative freedom to personalize your teaching style and inject passion and enthusiasm into your class.

Working shifts are nine hours (including one-hour lunch break). Shifts generally fall between the hours of 9:00 and 20:00 from Monday to Friday (some weekend work may be required). A typical shift is from 11:00 to 20:00.

*Our curriculum puts emphasis on pronunciation and phonics practice. While we, of course, welcome English speakers from a variety of countries with varying dialects and accents, we ask that you are able to effectively teach and express these concepts in a phonetically natural English environment. Only applicants who can meet the highest standards of fluency will be considered.

◆ Cover Letter

Please include the following information in your cover letter:

• Available starting date
• Preferred location
• Closest train station to home (if living in Japan)
• Online interview availability for the following two weeks (in Japan Standard Time)

Please note that interviews are typically conducted Monday through Friday, between 10:00 and 18:00 JST. Therefore, our last available time slot is at 17:00 JST.

* Note: While we sincerely appreciate all applications, only those candidates selected for interview will be contacted.
