Our goal is to create a school where service and quality come first, where the focus on our students is genuine, while also providing the service and professional benefits of larger schools. Our schools have a small, at-home atmosphere, and our teachers know all of our students by name. Employing teachers that care about their standard of work is of utmost importance to us. We are NOT looking for applicants that are just looking for a paycheck. We are looking for well-rounded individuals that genuinely care about their students, their coworkers, and the company they work for. We pride ourselves on the care and real improvement of our students, something that only happens when we work together as a team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"black12\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">We are looking for candidates that want to work toward the overall success of the school; someone that enjoys helping people, is motivated to succeed, and wants to make a better career for themselves in Japan. A lot of English schools hire just the minimum, but we are not looking for that teacher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"black12\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Our students are adults that take 45-minute man-to-man lessons or group lessons with a maximum class size of 4 students. We also have school functions (semi-regular drinking parties, hanami parties, Christmas parties, etc.) that are a great opportunity for our students to speak English outside the classroom. Teachers are expected to attend these events and must maintain a professional relationship with the students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><!--more--><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"black12\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Before reading any further, please answer the following questions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"black12\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">1.
