We are a small culture school located on the southern tip of Honshu Island, about 40 minutes by train from Shimonoseki - across the Kanmon straight from Kyushu island. Our city is called Sanyoonoda and it has a population of about 30,000 people. We teach "New Dance" and "English Conversation." At present we have 6 English conversation teachers on our staff and 3 dance teachers. The dance teachers also carry out the day to day running of the school.

Full Time.

Our salary for full time teachers is from JPY250,000 - 270,000 for a maximum 98 hours monthly teaching schedule. Any hours taught over and above that figure being classed as overtime and remunerated at the rate of JPY2,500 per hour. Our teachers aren't usually asked to put in office time, but are only sometimes requested to attend a teachers’ meeting that is occasionally held on Friday mornings.

BENDA additionally provides a contract completion bonus of JPY25,000 towards foreign travel costs.

Teachers who are employed by us receive approximately two weeks paid vacation over Christmas and the New Year, plus two consecutive days off per week and their relevant Japanese National holidays.

Unpaid vacation is also taken into consideration during light workloads and within the summer months.

Incoming teachers usually take over the apartment of an outgoing teacher, therefore all "Japanese Key Money” expenses have already been taken care of and they are only asked to cover the relevant apartment's monthly rental charges, which usually amount to between JPY40,000 to JPY60,000 per month.

New teaching staff additionally have the opportunity to purchase furniture from an outgoing teacher and in this respect BENDA is willing to provide an interest free loan of up to JPY90,000 to facilitate the monetary transaction.

The academy also arranges a telephone line to each of our teacher’s apartments and provides every teacher with a small city car for both business and pleasure. Each teacher being requested to pay the yearly tax/insurance for the said vehicle, coming to around JPY5,000 /JPY115,000 per year respectively.
