Abroad ESL Teacher Job Description
Our Courses
Offering a wide range of courses to suit all ages and levels, our goal is to contribute to the development of our students’ capabilities by providing programs focusing on speaking, listening, reading and grammar.
Kids’ English World is our custom program for children aged 18 months to 12 years of age, focusing on foundational and practical communication skills. Classes are educational, fun and give students the opportunity and confidence to interact in English. Class sizes are small, up to ten students, and are 30 to 60 minutes in length.
Adult lessons develop global communication skills, as well as expand students’ cultural awareness and critical thinking skills. These lessons are communicative and allow students to improve their abilities in a fun and friendly learning atmosphere. Small classes mean teaching staff build real rapport with students and can easily monitor progression and confidence. Adult classes typically range from 40 to 80 minutes in length and may have as many as twelve students.
Our Work Day
Students tend to study after their regular school or work days, as well as in their free time. Consequently most classes are taught afternoons, evenings and weekends.
A typical seven hour work day consists of a mixture of classes for both children and adults of various levels and about 5-6 hours of class time. Outside the classroom, team members work together to create a welcoming atmosphere for students, provide additional student care and offer feedback and study advice. It’s a full and engaging day and there’s always something going on.

Abroad ESL Teacher Salary and Compensation
Getting Started in Japan
Prior to arrival, ECC will fully sponsor and support your working visa application. We’ll also arrange housing to ensure a safe, reliable and convenient place to get your life in Japan off the ground.
Training
No teaching experience? No problem. ECC’s paid core training lasts about two weeks and covers all the skills you need to manage both kids and adults classes with confidence.
Core training is only the beginning of our extensive support system. Trainers are available to help you troubleshoot, tweak and improve. Workshops also take place regularly to build new skills in areas like counseling, student behavior and cultural awareness.
Money Matters
ECC offers salary advances upon successful completion of core training to bridge the gap between arrival and your first payday.
Ready to tackle the Japanese tax system? Don’t worry, we’ll take care of that for you and handle all required social insurance deductions as well as income taxes throughout the year.
Social Insurance
All full-time employees are required to enroll in Japanese health and pension insurance (shakai hoken) and monthly premiums total about 35 000 yen for a first year teacher. ECC handles all the administration and automatically deducts these premiums from your monthly salary.
You have comprehensive health insurance in Japan that covers 70% of all medical costs, including doctor visits, prescription medications and dental care. A substantial portion of your pension contributions can also come back to you via a refund upon leaving Japan or, if choose to retire here, you can qualify for a state pension once you reach retirement age. All details are fully covered during your company orientation.
