Grow with Gaba
Part of our offer to customize each lesson is allowing clients to choose their instructors. To be successful means satisfying each and every client. This performance-based system is not for everyone, but for those that relish the challenge, teaching familiar clients knowing they value the lessons is a reward in itself.
Gaba has eight lesson rates or “Belt” levels to recognize professionalism and quality. All new instructors begin at Belt A1. Moving up beyond the entry level rate is not a matter of tenure alone, but more a matter of merit. There are minimum performance requirements for each level and meeting them gives the instructor the potential to “Belt Up”. Criteria include lesson quality as judged by the clients, performance as gauged by studio staff, length of service, and voluntary participation in Developmental Certification. Each month, eligible instructors are reviewed and the top performing among them will move up to a higher Belt rate beginning the next month.
Career Opportunities
Gaba looks to instructors to fill many of the full-time positions within the company. For those interested in options beyond teaching, it is only a matter of applying. A list of available positions can be viewed from the GabaWeb at anytime. Positions in management, sales, IT and more are filled based not on seniority but merit. There is no minimum length of service as an instructor required. All positions provide applicants with the chance to gain hands-on international business experience in a Japanese environment.
