Hello, everyone! As some of you know, I work for Parakaro, in Oe, Kumamoto City. We provide language courses and translation/interpretation services. We’re currently looking for an English Instructor/Co-ordinator, so if you’re interested, please read the description below and get in touch! Feel free to share this job posting. E-mail: [email protected] (FAO: Danny McGregor) - Many thanks, Ruth

Parakaro Corporation is looking for additional staff to take on English instructor and course co-ordination duties at our Kumamoto City office. We are interested in hearing from both native English speakers and non-native English speakers who want to use, and improve, their English, and Japanese skills – and, indeed, other language(s). Are you self-motivated and feel that you would thrive in a relaxed, internationally-attuned work environment? If so, please get in touch with a short introductory email and CV: [email protected]

Teaching duties may involve day-time and/or one or two evenings per week on the premises of a major semiconductor manufacturer, or similar client based in a nearby business park. Student ability level: Beginner to Lower Intermediate level.

We also have various interpretation, translation and proof-reading projects; those interested in this kind of work will also be given the opportunity, and training, to do so once they manage their main English teaching and office projects.

Contract Start/Duration: Interviewing immediately! Start as early as September/October on either a P/T or F/T basis. We are willing to discuss a mutually beneficial work schedule which also suits your private life - or other commitments if you can only work on a P/T basis.

Location: Oe, Kumamoto City (Opposite KKT) / 熊本市大江1丁目

Remuneration: ○ Co-ordinator pay to be discussed at interview stage. ○ ¥2500~ p/h + all travel expenses for teaching. Negotiable, based on experience and evaluation. In-house texts, lesson plans, training and support will be provided throughout the courses.

Requirements: ○ Visa which allows such work ○ English teaching experience preferred ○ Understanding of Japanese customs ○ A full driving license and own car/motorbike are preferable ○ A can-do attitude, friendliness and willingness to learn
