You just need to be open-minded to student -centred education.
Salary & Benefits : We offer starting salary 300,000 yen/mth. We will sponsor your visa if you are not legal to work in Japan (needs a degree or relevant diploma). Health care and pension are covered by your salary. The position is Monday to Friday 8:30-5 pm. Occasionally we have a Saturday where there is an event but the Monday is usually off. We dont work on National Holidays or expect you to take work home with you. We will arrange an apartment for you.
