IB JAPAN: WE ARE EXPANDING! We Still Have 2 March/April

Positions But Also for May (2016)
Posted By: IB Japan <ibjapan.recruit@gmail.com>
Date: Tuesday, 15 March 2016, at 11:52 a.m.
Why is IB Japan Expanding? With the run-up to the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, and an
expectation of 23 million tourists to come to Japan in 2016, there is renewed vigor in
English education in Japan. IB Japan continues to provide the most reliant & consistent
educational program being taught by enthusiastic & well trained teachers.
Why March/April 2016? As IB Japan expands, we are continuing our search for reliable
and motivated instructors. We have filled all positions for January & February, but are
still recruiting for 2 more March/April positions. We are also seeking to fill a few
positions in May.
Why is Japan the preferred choice for teaching English in Asia? Why do so many
teachers come to Japan to first teach, OR, after teaching in South Korea, China, or
elsewhere? Is it because of its historical roots (with many world heritage sites); its iconic
images of the samurai, geisha, tea ceremony, Zen, and ninjas? Or, is it because people
are attracted to its modern cultural imports of anime, cosplay, and J-pop? With the
Olympics coming to Tokyo in 2020, experiencing this development can be incredibly
exciting. Some of the other practical reasons why so many people wish to teach and live
in Japan are:
It is a developed nation providing modern standards of living.
It has a public transportation system that is the envy of the world.
It also provides national health care which covers 70% of medical AND dental.
It is one of the safest countries in the world with a law-abiding, non-discriminatory &
friendly populace.
It has one of the most stable currencies in the world. Whenever there is financial
uncertainty in the world the Yen rises in value.
Why Teach for IB Japan? Why is IB Japan the school of choice for so many teachers
coming to Japan?
Our Head Office has experienced North American directors and trainers who have
many years of teaching and administrative experience. You will be speaking with fellow
native-speakers.
We have over 70 schools and employ over 90 native-speaking teachers, this
