About this role
Amity is seeking English teachers for its children's conversation schools across Japan, offering a structured entry point into international teaching for those with a bachelor's degree and native or near-native English fluency. You would teach students ranging from infants through high school age, designing lessons around Amity's established methods while managing parent communication, student assessments, and light marketing responsibilities within the school branch. The role combines classroom instruction with administrative and customer-facing work in a fast-paced environment.
The position comes with meaningful support for relocation: visa sponsorship, a company-provided subsidized apartment, paid training, and a transportation stipend, plus health insurance and a contract completion bonus. Starting salary is ¥275,000 monthly with increases available in year two based on performance. This is a full-time contract role requiring you to relocate to one of Amity's locations nationwide on Honshu or Kyushu. The company has operated for over forty years and prioritizes candidates who are adaptable, team-oriented, and genuinely interested in working with children, though prior teaching experience is helpful rather than required.
