Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Cram school teachers provide learning instruction such as remedial school lessons and exam preparation for elementary, junior high, and high school students.
Description
Cram school teachers work at cram schools or prep schools and other non-school educational institutions to improve students' academic abilities through instruction. Before classes, they create curricula based on students' understanding and goals. During classes, they support learning through explanations and exercises. They regularly conduct tests to manage progress and revise teaching methods based on results. They also conduct parent-teacher meetings and career consultations to provide learning plans and career guidance. Instruction ranges from individual tutoring to group classes, and demand for remote classes using ICT materials is increasing.
Future Outlook
While shrinkage of the cram school market due to declining birthrates is a concern, demand for teachers skilled in remote instruction and ICT utilization is increasing due to the spread of online learning and growing demand for individual instruction.
