About Passport School (from their website):
Based out of Fukuoka, Passport School was started by Riktam de Voil after extensive experience teaching Japanese children and adults both in Japan and the U.K. Passport school principles are to be personal, friendly and relaxed but we offer professional, quality education and ‘aftercare’ via our network of native teachers and flexible lesson system. Japanese English teaching assistants are also available. You can study English lessons at Daimyo classroom or Nishijin classroom. However, most of our kids` lessons take place at homes.
The school aim is to be flexible, catering to requests for private lessons via home lessons as well as offering circle lessons and group lessons in several locations plus contract lessons at kindergartens. Many of our students are also returnee children which calls for an excellent recruitment system to find the very best private teachers and trained, personal tutors with elementary or pre school school teaching experience. With returnee children, studying home lessons we offer creative projects to motivate them to develop their growing language and literacy skills.
The Daimyo classroom is near Akasaka subway and the Nishijin classroom is near Nishijin station – see locations page! For elementary English lessons or pre school mums and infants course. Flexible lesson system- study where and when you like! Home lessons OK!. Children can study daily English skills from the comfort of their home! We may also possibly be able to offer you private or small group lessons at our sister business classrooms belonging to American English Preschool`. These are located in Ohashi, Yahata and Tobata, Kitakyushu plus Karatsu. Please call the counselor for details or mail her at new@passportschool.info

Recently posting an ad on gaijinpot — 120,000-200,000 yen for teachers AFTER a part-time “training” period. Also, “no drama and no political correctness”. Sounds like a place I’d send my kids…avoid!
