    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The beach is nearby so you can meet a lot of surfers and active people. The station is within walking distance so you can do sightseeing in Tokyo on your days off. Our family also loves surfing and fishing. Let's enjoy it together. My children are also learning English, and I am learning with them. I am looking forward to speaking a lot of English and having cultural exchange.

    Help

    You will mainly be taking care of the children at school and working on improving your English conversation skills. Enjoy art and playing outside with the children.

    The absolute requirement for working at a school is that you like small children and have the patience to play with and teach them. Small children cannot adapt to you. The most important thing is that you adapt to the children and share fun times with them. We also cannot accept people who have no experience working with small children. You will also serve as an assistant to the teacher. People with qualifications such as TEFL or TESOL are very welcome.

    You can do whatever you like after you get home. Working hours are 8:30am-4:00pm Monday-Friday. 2-4 times a week,

    1050yen/h - lunch included. Working hours may vary by about an hour.

    In order for us to pay you, we only accept people who have a valid visa to work in Japan.

    We are looking for people who can work for as long as possible. After working, if both parties agree, we can change your visa status from a working holiday visa.
