Job Description

NOVA is recruiting English instructors on one-year employment contracts with flexible start dates. Positions are nationwide, including smaller cities; the school determines placement. This is an employee role, separate from NOVA’s independent-contractor vacancies.

Teach children and adults, plan lessons, assess levels and progress, deliver demonstration lessons and support customer care. The fixed schedule covers five days a week, including weekends, with two days off and an average of 160 lessons monthly.

A bachelor’s degree is required; prior teaching experience is not required. Paid initial training is followed by a two-month probation. Apply through the original Teach Away listing.

Posted 5 October 2026; checked 9 October 2026. Location shown on GSS reflects the company’s Tokyo base; actual placement varies. November 8 is GSS’s review date, not an employer deadline.

Benefits

JPY 220,000–250,000 monthly. Paid initial training, continuing training, visa sponsorship, social insurance, eligible paid leave and performance incentives. Confirm deductions, location and final contract terms with NOVA.
