• Self-introduction video is preferred.
• Inform us which Japan Standard Time shifts you are interested in by starting the application with 'Early bird' for morning shifts or 'Night owl' for evening shifts. Due to current hiring needs, 'Early bird' applicants and applicants with Saturday availability will be prioritised.

Applications that do not include the above information cannot be processed.

We have a high demand for Monday to Friday evenings, as well as all day Saturday. Priority will be given to candidates who can commit to Monday to Friday evenings and at least half of Saturday.

Note: We also offer classes during typical business hours; however, these are not the core working hours.
