**Hiring in Fukuoka – FT or PT shifts at Shane English School**
Fukuoka is a popular and exciting city, and continues to thrive despite the business slow-down owing to the initial Covid-19 outbreak.

A variety of performance-related bonuses are available, such as when new students join, request you as their teacher, and if you consistently maintain a high number of students in your larger classes. From time to time there will be other money-making opportunities, from teaching in our cram schools, summer camps, and preschools.
