working in Japan!

Heart English School is seeking new foreign staff members. The world economy has currently made finding a job difficult almost everywhere, especially for new college graduates. However, the demand for native English teachers in Japan has remained fairly stable. The primary positions offered by Heart are Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) and English Teacher. The two major responsibilities of these positions are to provide excellent quality English lessons and to facilitate the internationalization of Japanese students. Some key characteristics of each position are listed below (or click Job Description for more details).

The ALT Voice

Aileen Fujita
(Koshigaya City, Saitama)

"I was very nervous and anxious at first. To be honest, it wasn't easy until I got used to it. But as I continued teaching and spending time with students, I started to like the ALT job. The best moment was when they wrote me messages on the last day saying that they enjoyed the English class. I really grew as a person after a year of teaching."

Brent Harrison
(Kisarazu, Chiba)

"Being an ALT is not just about teaching English to the children but also making a fun and positive atomsphere where they can enjoy themselves and learn at the same time. After a year of teaching at an elementary school nothing was more rewarding than when a couple of students said to me, ‘Before your class we hated English. Now we love it.’"

Morena Carcamo
(Arakawa, Tokyo)

"The most memorable part of being an ALT is the children. I am an ALT in two elementary schools and absolutely have a great time teaching. They have such high energy and have fun learning through games, songs and chants. The teachers are also eager to learn sometimes. "
