仕事内容:
Elev8 Japan is a premium small-group international education camp based in Nihonbashi-Hamacho, Tokyo. We provide seasonal holiday programmes for children aged 5–12, combining structured learning with creativity, movement, games, outdoor activities, and weekly excursions.
Our core learning modules include Mathematics, Coding & Programming, English Language & Communication, and Japanese Language & Culture. Children are placed in small groups based on age, level, confidence, and learning needs, with a maximum student-to-teacher ratio of 5:1.
We are currently looking for reliable, experienced, and professional mathematics teachers to join our seasonal camp team.
This role is focused on helping children develop mathematical confidence, problem-solving ability, logical thinking, and enjoyment of learning. Lessons may include arithmetic, number sense, shapes, measurement, fractions, word problems, puzzles, logic, mental maths, mathematical games, and extension challenges for more advanced students.
This is not a passive classroom role. Elev8 is an active camp environment, so teachers are also expected to support children throughout the day, including transitions, lunch, breaks, activities, outdoor play, and excursions.
Main responsibilities include:
- Teaching small-group mathematics lessons to children aged 5–12
- Supporting numeracy, arithmetic, problem-solving, logic, puzzles, and mathematical reasoning
- Helping children build confidence and reduce anxiety around mathematics
- Adapting prepared materials to suit each child’s age, level, confidence, and learning style
- Providing extension challenges for stronger students where appropriate
- Supporting children who need more patient, step-by-step explanation
- Creating a positive, safe, and engaging classroom atmosphere
- Using games, projects, and hands-on activities to make mathematics enjoyable
- Supervising children during lunch, breaks, indoor activities, and outdoor play
- Supporting park visits, local activities, and full-day excursions when assigned
- Assisting with arrival, dismissal, and station chaperone duties when required
- Communicating clearly and professionally with the management team and other staff
- Reporting any concerns about student behaviour, safety, wellbeing, or participation promptly
- Contributing positively to the wider camp culture
アピールポイント:
Elev8 is different from a traditional school, juku, or large childcare camp.
We focus on small-group learning, personal attention, and meaningful relationships with students. Because our groups are small, teachers can properly understand each child and help them grow in confidence.
Our students include children from Japan, overseas, bilingual families, international schools, local schools, and visiting families. Some students are confident mathematicians, while others may feel anxious or unsure. Teachers need to be flexible, patient, and able to support a range of levels.
The Mathematics programme is designed to be engaging and confidence-building. We do not want children to feel that maths is just worksheets and pressure. We want them to discover that maths can be logical, creative, useful, and fun.
The camp combines academic learning with creative projects, games, physical activity, and real-world experiences around Tokyo. Children do not simply sit in a classroom all day. They learn, move, create, communicate, and explore.
This role is ideal for teachers who:
- genuinely enjoy working with children;
- can explain mathematical ideas clearly and patiently;
- want to teach in a small-group setting;
- can balance structure with warmth and flexibility;
- care about safety and professionalism;
- enjoy active, international education environments;
- want to help children build real confidence, not just complete worksheets.
Elev8 is a growing education company, so this is also a good opportunity for strong teachers who may be interested in future seasonal, weekend, or longer-term teaching opportunities.
