◆ WinBe: Inspiring students through creativity and fun
WinBe is a time-tested, continuously expanding English conversation school with locations all over Japan.
Our goal is to bring English education in Japan to a new level, with outstanding results powered by our conversation and culturally driven curriculum. Our instructors provide students with fun and creative classes that focus on real-life conversational skills. We believe that when students are having fun, they are more engaged – and when instructors are having fun, they provide the best possible lessons!
The native English instructor is the centerpiece of a WinBe school.
WinBe instructors work with their school’s Japanese staff, head office staff, and other WinBe instructors to assess the needs of their students and provide them with the best possible lessons. Most students are children ages 3 to 12.
Classes emphasize practical language, and instructors conduct their classes completely in English. While WinBe has a set curriculum, instructors use their creativity to prepare fun and interesting classes that best suit their students; this allows ample creative freedom to inject passion and enthusiasm into your class.
Instructors work 8 hours a day, which includes a 45-minute break, 5 days a week (generally Tuesday through Saturday).
Shift times are typically 12:00-20:00 on weekdays and 10:00-18:00 on Saturdays (schedules may differ from school to school).
◆ Job Requirements
We are looking for new teachers who:
・Are Native English Speakers*
・Have at least a 2-Year Associates Degree OR Valid Working Visa

・Can be team-oriented, passionate, enthusiastic, and creative in your approach to teaching children
・Have a strong sense of professionalism and are self-motivated
・Prior experience with children (teaching or otherwise) is preferred
*Our curriculum emphasizes pronunciation and phonics practice. While we, of course, welcome English speakers from a variety of countries with varying dialects and accents, we ask that you are able to effectively teach and express these concepts in a phonetically natural English environment. Only applicants who are able to meet the highest standards of fluency will be considered.
