I have been working for Saiei International for more than 4 years.

　As a teacher at Saiei, I am expected to go beyond my responsibilities as a teacher. I also motivate, coach and train my students to be survivors in the global stage. Our mission is centered on building the best foundation for our students by molding them the best they can be as they learn English. Aside from my students, one of the things I like about this job is the opportunity to advance my career as a teacher. Opportunities such as being a trainer, head teacher, and school manager are being offered to qualified candidates. When I started, I did not know a lot about teaching, but with positive attitude and perseverance, I survived this long.

　I can do it, so can you!

“Since joining Saiei 4 years ago, I have had the good fortune to interact with wonderful people-both co-workers and students-all of whom have made my time here exceedingly fruitful. There is ample opportunity for everyone to grow. On a professional level, advancement can be seen with promotions to Head Teacher, Trainer, or Seishain status. On a personal level, there are various formats available to develop teaching, office, and interpersonal skills, regardless of your starting point. Even if you are new to teaching, there are comprehensive plans to help you.

The pair-teaching approach Saiei utilizes allows us to tackle lessons as a team, so you are never alone in your journey. I believe it is exceedingly rewarding to not only watch your students hit their academic goals, but to develop confidence in their English by communicating with us and getting to know each other! In order to support and motivate them through their challenges, it is important to challenge ourselves so that everyone can win together. It’s not always easy, but nothing worth doing ever is.

If you are the type of person who experiences great satisfaction with helping others soar, then rise to the challenge and join the wonderful team at Saiei International. For me, the opportunity to work with the same students over an extended period of time and help them achieve their goals has been invaluable and is the key reason I thoroughly enjoy what I do.”

In Saiei’s lessons, when teaching grammar points like “There is/are (number) + singular/plural nouns,” they go beyond using only basic sentences like “There are 5 chairs in this room.” Instead, they incorporate scientific knowledge, teaching with sentences like “There are 206 bones in the human body.” This approach allows students to gain not only English grammar skills but also general knowledge simultaneously.

I strongly felt that this “Edutainment Lessons” philosophy broadens students’ horizons and lets them experience the joy of learning. I deeply resonate with this educational approach and wish to contribute as a member of this team.

Our work as English conversation teachers goes beyond simply teaching English. Guided by the concept of “training-based and edutainment (education × entertainment),” we pursue intellectually stimulating, engaging, and educational lessons, prioritizing the creation of an environment where students can learn proactively.

Lessons are conducted based on a high-quality curriculum, allowing instructors to focus confidently on teaching and deepen their connection with each student. Furthermore, by collaborating with Japanese teachers in our work and lessons, we naturally improve our own English skills.

Beyond teaching, we also handle tasks related to overall school operations, such as student consultations, and parent communication.
This diverse experience fosters our own growth as teachers. This growth positively impacts student learning and ultimately contributes to the growth of the entire school.

Our student base spans elementary school through adulthood. We offer tailored Eiken and TOEIC preparation for elementary, junior high, high school, university students, and working adults, alongside grammar classes for junior high and high school students.
Diverse classes cater to specific learning goals and levels, supporting each student’s individual growth.

This role hones not only English proficiency but also educational perspective, interpersonal skills, and management abilities. For those who wish to grow alongside others while developing themselves-this environment offers both fulfillment and continuous learning.

　The best thing about working at Saiei is TEAMWORK. When people work together in an atmosphere of trust and accountability toward a common goal, they put aside turf issues and politics in order to focus on the tasks that need to be done. I’ve learned that people enjoy working together and teamwork satisfies a need for socialization. It helps people grow as they learn from each other and develop important skills. But most of all, working together toward a common goal provides a sense of purpose that is motivating and fulfilling. It’s the greatest thing you can have amongst your co-workers and for a company.

　There are some tough points and challenges but for the most part, it’s so much fun. Talking to people from all walks of life, the diversity of classes and students that I have encountered and having students’ progress is great.

Davis – Fujimino School

　Working at Saiei International is about having a fulfilling job while strengthening your career stability. It’s about having a stable career while contributing to Japanese youth’s journey to global competitiveness and survival.

　To provide our students with the best ways to learn English and use it in their daily lives, we are given extensive and continuous training. This is to make sure that our quality of teaching is always at its best. We are also given the chance to showcase our teaching abilities in the company’s annual teaching contest. To be hailed as the “Teacher of the Year” gives teachers not only a monetary incentive but also gives them and their respective schools a sense of fulfillment and great pride.

　To become a Saiei International teacher is indeed a good opportunity to hone one’s own talents and have a stable career. And while doing so, teachers act as beacons as our students travel their path to success. We give students not only academic but also survival lessons through constant communication during “Communication Time” before and between lessons and “Coaching Time” after the last lesson.

　Having a work shift which usually starts in the afternoon gives me time to do my personal errands in the morning. Also, we don’t usually have to travel during the peak rush hours, especially in the morning.

　So what are you waiting for? Join Saiei International and help mold the future generation into survivors and successful individuals!

　Interested in working for Saiei?

　Thank you for your interest in the opportunities available through Saiei Group. If you’re new to the idea of working in Japan or you’re considering a new career path, Saiei is a solid choice.

　From the beginning not only are you guided through the teaching methodologies in a practical hands-on manner with regular students, but there are also weekly training sessions to help build our skills as a team. Teachers are trained to teach all ages and levels as our students range from pre-school to senior citizens. It’s actually quite refreshing to have such a variety of student levels to interact with.

　There are many career options within Saiei itself. Once certain requirements are met, teachers interested in pursuing positions with greater responsibilities may do so. These include editing and the creation of teaching material to becoming the head teacher of a school as well as a full time seishain position. Most schools operate on an afternoon to evening schedule while some schools have morning and afternoon shifts. Should your interests lie solely in early childhood development there are 2 preschools.

　Having been trained for a traditional classroom, I had absolutely no idea what an English Language Coach in Japan was supposed to do. Moreover, it would seem like I joined Saiei at a time of constant improvements and changes. One would think such a situation would be overwhelming. However, with Saiei’s comprehensive training schedule headed by competent and supportive trainers, I found my footing with much less stress-induced food binges than I expected.

　Even at present, Saiei continues to implement creative ideas and techniques to better address the ever-changing needs of our students. An old-timer like me constantly learns something new through the regularly scheduled training that aim not only to improve one’s teaching techniques but also offer fresh insights on interpersonal interactions and personal development.

　In many ways, I stayed in Saiei for this long because I find that it suits my personality well. There is enough routine to assure those apprehensive of change but also enough opportunities to be creative that the surefooted will not be left bored. Saiei organizes enough company events to entertain the more outgoing ones among the staff but also leaves options for the more reserved ones. Independent workers are appreciated even as teamwork is highlighted.

　Balance is key and that is what we aim for in Saiei. I hope that you find what you are looking for here.

Khei – Okegawa School

　I have been working for this company since 2012 and I’ve learned to become more flexible and able to adapt to any situation.

　Having been given the opportunity to be a head teacher also honed my leadership and decision making skills. Even though I am fundamentally an introverted person, working in Saiei served as a training ground for me to improve my social skills to the point that people couldn’t even tell that I am in fact an introvert.

　There certainly are a lot of challenges in teaching like coming up with creative and educational activities for our lessons, but that’s part of building our repertoire and becoming the best versions of ourselves. If we train ourselves to have the right mindset, we can keep on improving our lessons, schools, and even our overall character.

Mia – Okegawa School

　I have worked for Saiei for more than 5 years. My journey started as a newbie in a foreign country and I found myself overwhelmed with lots of questions and fears when I applied for this job. I can still recall the first time I was interviewed. They asked me right off the bat, “Do you like teaching kids”? And without hesitation, I answered “YES”. And from that day, I knew for myself that I made the right decision.

　I still have a lot of things to learn and understand, not just teaching but also inter-office relationships as well. This is one thing that sets Saiei International apart from other companies. You really don’t have to worry about anything, Saiei will offer all the help you need to become a very good teacher. You have ample time for training, by observing our veteran teachers plus this is the time they will give you helpful tips on how to teach classes and manage the students in and out of the classrooms.

　Every week, teachers are provided with the latest approaches or techniques to make sure that we have a unified way on how to teach our classes. We carry the motto “a boring lesson is a crime” which is why we have time to prepare our lessons.

　In our company we don’t do easy, we make easy happen through hard work and continuous learning. To me, being a teacher means love, fun, joy, and excitement! You have to reach their hearts before you can reach their heads! I go to work every day with a goal in mind of making learning fun while instilling a lifelong love for learning in my students. I have no regrets being here, because I owe everything to this company on who am I today as a teacher, friend and colleague. If you’re looking for career growth and become part of a stable company come and be part of our Saiei Family.

　There are not a lot of jobs out there that can give you the satisfaction as much as teaching does. Anyone can work an eight hour shift but not everyone can say that they were able to help mold young minds.

Here at Saiei International, we are a part of student’s lives. Our students also communicate with us about their days, their school life and sometimes their family life. This allows us to build rapport with the students, learn more about Japan and its resident’s lives, enhance our Japanese communication skills while at the same time allowing them to use their English communication skills.

We become a part of their lives as we slowly train them and guide them into achieving their language goals and academic goals.
Learning more about students and connecting more with them allows us to develop our teaching skills as we find more interesting ways for them to learn that is tailored to their needs and their goals. Come and experience doing a job that will satisfy your soul’s need for purpose!

Recca – Asakadai School

　The positive points of working at Saiei/Coco’s are many and varied. The company provides a good working experience for teachers who want to teach English to young learners in Japan. It is very welcoming and accepting and they provide training for the job.

　In Coco’s Preschool, I have a very good working environment and I am able to survive working for several years here because of the kind and competent teachers and staff. This job exposes me to different cultures and different kinds of people and my knowledge and understanding have expanded due to this.

　The job and responsibilities really shape, challenge and improve me as teacher and as a person. And the company itself has been around for 50 years, so there’s a sense of security.

　The challenges that come with the job are just as varied. Working in a preschool is really a lot of fun but it can get very tiring physically and mentally. It is demanding sometimes and requires a lot of time and effort.

　We work with different kinds of people with different cultural backgrounds so some work ethics and expectations are different and the challenge is how to adapt, understand, and have mutual respect to be able to work together.
