SES is a privately-owned company providing English and other foreign language instruction to people in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan.

 

SES has been providing language instruction to Japanese students since 1972.  SES offers courses in classrooms in high schools, colleges, corporate offices, community centers and private homes.  SES also provides translation services to clients.

 

The staff at SES is a team of native English speakers and English-speaking Japanese teachers.  SES seeks to hire dynamic and enthusiastic native English speakers with a college degree who are interested in the opportunity to work in Japan. All of our teachers have a great chance to learn about Japan and its people, language and culture.

 

Typically, native English teachers sign a contract to work for one year at SES, and then extend it if they wish to stay longer.  SES provides a car for each teacher to commute to classes at various locations.  For a small insurance fee, this car may also be used for private travel; however you may be asked to share the car with another teacher. Teachers may also find it convenient to rent an apartment through SES, avoiding the additional costs and paperwork of renting in Japan.  In addition, SES management will assist with monthly bills and other services requiring Japanese language ability.

A Bachelor's degree from a four-year university is required. A TESOL or similar teaching degree is preferred. Experience teaching English as a second language is also preferred.  Fluency in an additional language is a plus.  The monthly salary is 255,000 yen/month.  A company car is provided and is available for private use.  National health insurance is provided, or, if employees wish, they can purchase health insurance from private companies.  The key money and deposit for an apartment are paid for.
