Job Description:
Japanese Tutor


Are you passionate about explain the Japanese language with youth from Grade 5 to 1st year University? We are looking for 1-2 individuals who are capable of conducting 60-90 minute tutoring sessions (sometimes 2+ hours) in all aspects of Japanese, including written and verbal, at all levels (AP and IB included).


We're looking for role models who share their passion for Japanese, who can interact effectively through online technology such as Zoom and in-person, and who can support, encourage and instill energy and enthusiasm into challenging topics.

Someone who strives to make learning fun and has the ability to connect with their students. At Large Tutoring Inc., we value individuals who are adaptable, trustworthy, qualified, modern, and friendly. Our philosophy ensures that students do not merely memorize situations, but understand why they made the choices they did. In doing so, we ensure our students are able to excel in similar but different circumstances.

  • Teach a variety of students varying from grade 5 to 1st year University students for up to 10 hours a week.
  • Be available for introductory meetings, Zoom video conferences, and phone calls with prospective students.
  • Create brief lesson plans, "brush up" on any topics that will be covered in lessons, and assign homework materials for students (not worksheets, but suggested questions from the student's textbook, etc.).
  • Be available to work during nontraditional hours. Since many students have school requirements, sessions may run into the evening (up to 10:00 PM) and/or take place on weekends. This will depend on the students on your roster and their availability. All sessions only take place at mutually agreed upon times and locations between the student and the tutor.
  • Adapt, encourage and provide feedback to students (and to parents) to achieve real life results.

  • Excellent communication skills in person and online we want students to have fun

Preference will be given to individuals who have a tablet and stylus of some kind for online lessons though this is not a requirement.

Please note:

preference will be given to individuals who are able to teach one or more other language such as English, French or Spanish.

We look forward to hearing from you We hope you bring passion, energy, enthusiasm, and fun to this position. Please send a
