The role
What English Coaches do
HTB English Adventures welcomes school groups to Huis Ten Bosch for a full day of English. Working alongside a team of international coaches, you lead engaging activities in English with small groups of elementary, junior high, and high school students, usually four to eight students per coach.
Activity Stations
Guide small groups of students through quick, playful stations that build pronunciation, listening, and conversation skills.
Mission Field English
Accompany students around the Huis Ten Bosch grounds as they take on quizzes and missions at designated spots in the park.
Street English
Hold short English conversations with student groups as they move between coaches stationed around the park.
Conversation Training
Give students one-on-one English conversation practice designed to build skills and confidence.
TV Quiz Show
Emcee a competitive Q&A game that gets students practicing their English speaking and listening.
Group Mixer
Rotate between small groups in dialogue sessions so every student gets a chance to speak with you.
Who we look for
Is this you?
- Native-level English fluency and clear, friendly speech.
- Enjoy working with children and teens of different ages and English levels.
- High energy: the activities are active, playful, and all-day.
- An interest in Japan and cross-cultural exchange. Japanese ability is helpful but not required.
Important to know before applying
Programs are sporadic
HTB English Adventures runs on school-group bookings, so coaching days are irregular and seasonal. This is not a full-time teaching position; it suits people looking for occasional, on-call work.
Live nearby
Because assignments come with little notice, living in Sasebo or in cities and prefectures not too far away is important. Long-distance commuting is not practical for one-day programs.
Permission to work in Japan
Coaches are paid, so you must already have permission to work and be paid in Japan (for example, appropriate visa status or permanent residency). We cannot sponsor visas for this role.
