QIs it possible to work both in the classrooms as well as online?
AYes, teachers can choose to work in the classrooms and/or online depending on their daily schedules.
QWhat is the difference between lesson teachers and Rewrites teachers?
ALesson teachers interact with students directly and support their studies. Not only do they help students improve their 4 core English skills (Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing), they coach students on their studying skills.

Rewrites teachers correct and give feedback on the writings students turn in via our Rewrites platform. So, Rewrites teachers do not communicate directly with the students, but instead give them support to improve their writing skills through written corrections and short message videos.
QSince I live too far from the classrooms, I would like to teach online lessons only. Is this possible?
AYes, teachers can choose to only do online lessons. As long as you have a computer and a working internet connection, it is possible to teach online lessons.
QI currently reside outside of Japan. Am I allowed to apply?
AYes, you can apply to teach online lessons and/or become a Rewrites teacher.

However, there are some conditions that need to be met in order to apply. Please check if these conditions apply to you before you submit your application:

You must....
① have a computer and a working internet connection
② have an account with a Japanese bank. Furthermore, you must be able to open a bank account with Mitsui Sumitomo Bank (Shibuya Ekimae Branch) the next time you return to Japan.
③ be able to do lessons on weekdays 4pm - 9pm and/or Saturdays 10am - 5 pm Japan Standard Time if you wish to be an online teacher. (Rewrites teachers can work any time in any time zone since the job does not require live interactions with students)
QI am considering being a Catal teacher as my side job. Are there others who work a separate main job and teach at Catal as a side job?
AThere are many who work at Catal as their side job since they may choose their shifts and work location depending on their schedule.

*Those with jobs in the same industry involving English education for children (such as cram schools, classrooms, and/or companies) are not permitted to work at Catal, unless resignation of those jobs can be promised once you are accepted as a Catal teacher (both lesson and Rewrites).
Q I am currently raising children, and there are times when I must put their needs first. Am I still welcome to work at Catal?
ARewrites teachers are paid by the number of writings they correct instead of the length of time they work. So, you are able to work without the constriction of shift hours, and choose your work time freely.

For lesson teachers, you are free to change your shift time and work location two weeks prior to the scheduled shift. Once you know your children’s schedule, you may change your work time accordingly.
QI have never taught English before. Am I allowed to apply?
AWe welcome those who have little or no experience teaching or instructing others. For many of the teachers, Catal is their first teaching job. We provide training before you start teaching which will help you start your job experience.

Please email mensetsu@catal.jp to make inquiries about the recruitment process. Inquiries by phone are not accepted.
