New Job in Sapporo?


Actually, one of the reasons that I stopped working at Kumon was because of the position I got at an English conversation school downtown, near Sapporo Station. The name of the school is DLS - Downtown Language School. There are actually lessons in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Korean, Chinese, and maybe some other obscure languages I have forgotten about! As you may have guessed, I teach English. I also have one French student, and occasionally am asked to teach other lessons in French, too. But 90% of my workload is English. The students are all very motivated and energetic and fun. It's a great place to work, and it's too bad I only have 2 more weeks there. Why, you may ask? My next post, whenever that might be, will reveal that to you...

公文のアルバイトをやめた理由の一つは、新しいアルバイトが与えられたからです。そのバイトは、札幌駅に近くある語学スクールで英語を教えるバイトです。まぁ、一人のフランス語の生徒もいますが。DLS(ダウンタウンランゲージスクール)は、英語を中心に、色んな言語のレッスンを提供しているカラフルなスクールです。英語以外には、フランス語、ドイツ語、スペイン語、イタリア語、韓国語、中国語などが楽しく教えられています。色んな楽しい先生方もいるし、月に一回くらいは、特別なイベントなどがあります。すごく心地の良い職場ですから、あそこで残り2週間しかないのは残念に思っています。「なぜやめるのですか」と聞きたい方々は、次の投稿を読んでください。いつ更新するかはわからないけど、そのうちには、大きなニュースを公表します。

Hi Trevor,

I just read your post. Sounds like you are quite satisfied with your "new" job at DLS! I am a 29 year old Italian student who is going to graduate from the Visual Arts School here in Sapporo; having been teaching Italian over the last 2 and a half years, I would like to know if DLS would be interested in hiring an Italian teacher. Any piece of information will be appreciated! Thank you.

Hey Giovanni,

Thanks for checking out my blog. I don't know if you noticed, but I am no longer with DLS. In fact, I am no longer in Sapporo! Anyways, when I left Sapporo, DLS had an Italian teacher already. If you want to check out their homepage, here it is: http://www.dls-eikaiwa.com/

Hope you can find a good place to teach Italian! All the best to you!
