Contract: Part-Time

Here’s a part-time job received directly from Scarlett Moulder and Topic Time English:

We Love JETS!! We are an America based company hiring around 15 more online tutors for Japanese students.

10 years ago, one of my very first teachers was with the JET Program and found it invaluable to work here in a small way to prepare for what was coming in Japan. This job might also be very helpful for JET Alumni re-acclimating themselves to their home country. Or like me, an older woman who looks back affectionately on my time in Japan and sees my conversations as a way to re-connect with the culture I know and appreciate so well.
