LAE seeks a graduate teacher to teach GCSE Japanese. We seek a teacher committed to high academic standards but also one who can communicate to young people an enthusiasm for the subject. A teaching qualification is not required for this post, but a passion for Japanese and for teaching young people is a necessity.

The successful candidate will be responsible for teaching Japanese towards a GCSE qualification. It will be taken by sixth formers as an extra subject in addition to their A-levels. Experience of teaching Japanese GCSE previously is highly desirable. Previously we have run a Japanese extra-curricular club and we are pleased that we can now develop this into studying for a formal qualification due to a kind donation from the Japan Foundation.

We are looking for a teacher to work with a class of 15-20 sixth formers for approximately three hours a week for a total of 100 hours over the academic year. There are funds available to purchase text books and teaching resources.
