They are always advertising for teachers. However, they just send me information about paying them for a tefl program.

When I worked at DD Dragon, it was two classes Tues-Fri, not two hours. I think each class was 90 minutes plus a break in between for prepping for the next class. So basically four hours. 4pm-8pm.

And for some reason, I remember Sat and Sun being more like twelve hours. I'm not sure why, since it's only four classes. Hmm. Probably has to do with how far apart they schedule the classes. Do a search on DD Dragon and read my posts for more details.

The bottom line is, it's not the worst job in the world (if you're only there for a year), but like every other gig, it all depends on factors you won't know until you get there: Management and living conditions.

What's the pay now, 9000 a month? If you're in a cheap location and don't drink much, see if you can get by with 3500 a month. Save everything else and when your contract is up, you'll have $10,000. Plus whatever bonus if they decide to give it to you.

Must be their teaching hours only being 25 or something because after sat and sun you only have like 8-10 hours to spread over 4 days.

I like how every lesson is planned out for you. Makes things much easier.
