Contract: Full-time
Thanks to JET alumna, Lorrain Rowland (Wakayama-ken) for the following job listing at her company:
I now work for English Matters, a small ESL tutoring company in Toronto that specializes in working with the Japanese community. I’m hoping that you could put me in touch with some JET Alumni that may want work in the Vaughan area of Toronto. Any prospective teachers may want to know:
Our teachers travel to client’s homes, businesses or public places to teach English in exclusive private or semi-private lessons. Work is great for those already fully employed elsewhere but looking for something extra. This part-time work is easy and pleasant and students are usually flexible if scheduling changes need to be met.
Currently, we have a position available in the Jane and Hwy 7 area. A grade 4 student needs help with ESL, math, and science. The tutor must work independently with his/her own materials and texts. Pay is $25 and hour once a month on a one-year contract. If you are interested in this position, we would be delighted to hear from you in order to schedule an interview. Please check our website at www.englishmatters.ca.
Please contact Lorrain Rowland at (905) 953-6007 or send an email to: lorrain@englishmatters.ca if you are interested in the position.
