The role emphasizes building strong, trusting relationships with both children and kindergarten staff, ensuring seamless integration into the school?s daily operations.
The primary responsibility of the Energetic Teacher is to create a warm, stimulating atmosphere where children feel safe, excited, and eager to participate in English learning. Lessons are delivered in small groups or one-on-one settings within the kindergarten premises, requiring adaptability in teaching styles based on children?s developmental levels and interests.

The position involves working Monday through Friday, typically during the kindergarten?s operating hours, which may include early mornings or afternoons depending on the kindergarten?s schedule. Teachers are expected to arrive early to prepare materials and stay late to debrief and reflect on each session?s effectiveness.
This role is ideal for individuals who are enthusiastic about cross-cultural education and are committed to making English learning a joyful and natural experience for Japanese preschoolers. The position offers a stable, full-time schedule with a clear salary of 240,000 YEN per month, providing a solid foundation for those seeking a meaningful and impactful career in early language education. The work environment is supportive and team-oriented, with opportunities to grow professionally while contributing to children?s confidence and language development in a real-world, community-based setting.
