Job Details:
I am looking for two professional business English teachers for a short term, one month teaching assignment, with more assignments possible in the future.
Applicants must have experience teaching business English to non-native speakers, and preferably to Japanese speakers.
The dates for the assignment are January 24th-February 18th and applicants must be available every weekday during that time period.

The client is a financial analyst who is coming to New York from Japan for one month specifically for this English course.

I will be on hand to provide support before and during the course, and I have over 11 years experience teaching English to Japanese speakers, however, I will rarely be on-site during the course, so I am looking for professional teachers with experience who know how to handle themselves, and Japanese speakers specifically.
