You receive 100% of what students pay for your lesson. You will get paid cash after each lesson directly from the students. Lessons
Mainly at coffee shops. There may be some exceptions like teaching at your home if you teach students of the same gender (eg. female to female). Lessons
Students who had been screened by interview will contact you directly, or IHCWAY staff will introduce students to you. Becoming an IHCWAY Teacher
Applicant must currently reside in Japan to apply. Please apply when you come to Japan or Kanto ( Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa) area.
As an English teacher,Japanese language skills are not required.
But if you are the teacher for other languages,either fluent English or Japanese conversational ability is required.
We would be your consigner, so we cannot sponsor a working visa.
You can choose your availability and we will match students with similar time preferences.
Please inform your students and the IHCWAY office immediately.
Transportation costs and drinks are paid for by students.
We interview each student to ensure a safe, problem-free teaching experience for you. On average, we accept about 90% of new student applications. However, in the event that you do have any problems, it is very important that you try your best to behave responsibly, and please inform the IHCWAY office as soon as possible.
Please inform the IHCWAY office immediately, before informing your students. Otherwise it may create problems.
Applicants must submit their specific personal information profile. We will not share your information with anyone.
It may take from as little as 1 day to up to a few weeks depending on conditions like location and availability.
Non-native speakers can also register if IHCWAY assesses that your English fluency is excellent.
People who travel often for long periods of time cannot register at our school. If you plan to leave for any holidays, please inform us at least a month in advance.
We often receive teacher evaluations from students. Therefore any lateness, cancellation, or other negligence will not be tolerated. Teachers with the following will be given preference in assigning students: a sense of responsibility, flexibility, a positive attitude, punctuality, a desire to improve lesson quality, general neatness and professional appearance, a good teaching attitude and a co-operative attitude with IHCWAY staff.
To make students comfortable please be friendly and positive so that you can make a good impression. Ask their full name and phone number precisely and make an appointment on that call. You should not just tell them to "please email me later!". You may miss an opportunity to get a new student.
The tuition is fixed at 2000yen/hour. You will receive direct payment from your students after each lesson.
