Application deadline:4/18 (Tue) 10AM (we may close earlier) Now re-opened!
Important notes before applying
This is a series of English classes at a school, NOT our usual program.
Therefore, we will prioritize those who will be able to attend all 5 classes written below, until February 2026.
The role is more similar to that of a TA than Senior Buddy, and for Japanese students it is essential to have the same foreign student every time in class.
Please refrain from applying for this position if you are not sure if you will be available until February 2025 (e.g. graduating and leaving Japan, or getting a job, etc).
