Job Opportunity: English classes in the Economics and Gastronomical Management Faculties at Ritsumeikan University (Biwako-Kusatsu Campus)

We have several koma available for the Spring and Fall semesters next year. However, there’s an important requirement:

You must be available to teach the following sets of classes (they cannot be split):

Spring Semester:

• Wednesday: 2nd period

• Friday: 3rd period

Fall Semester:

• Wednesday: 2nd period

• Friday: 2nd period

• Tuesday: 2nd period

• Thursday: 3rd period

If you can commit to these core sets, additional koma are also available:

Spring Semester (Optional Add-ons):

• Wednesday: 1st, 3rd, and 4th periods

• Thursday: 2nd period

• Friday: 1st period

Fall Semester (Optional Add-ons):

• Tuesday: 4th period

• Wednesday: 1st, 3rd, and 4th periods

• Friday: 1st and 3rd periods

Why the sets matter:

We can’t offer single koma separately because it becomes challenging to staff the core set classes if they’re broken up.

If you meet the requirements and are interested, please get in touch!

Looking forward to hearing from you!
