 Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2012 2:35 pm Post subject: Maximum Leisure Time (Full-Time)? |
 |
|
What types of teaching jobs/companies/schools give foreign teachers the most (paid) free time (nat'l holidays, vacations, personal days, etc.)?
I am asking because I am slaving for a 'Crap-o-la, Inc.' right now but I do have a TESL and I am looking to get a better job once my contract expires.
Thanks! |

I think you'll find it hard to beat ALT work for holidays. Generally at least a month off in summer, two weeks at Christmas, and over a week for Easter. Plus all public holidays.
Not all of the school break times will be paid, it varies from company to company. Some go as low as 50% of pay for August, for example. |

If I'm not mistaken, most ALT dispatch agencies do not offer paid time off. At best you would get partial salary during that time.
I would look more for the quality of the job instead of the amount of free time, but that's just me. I would certainly not bring up vacation time during any interview! |

But that's one of those things you don't know until you're in the environment though. I've lost count of the number of jobs I had that looked good on paper.
OP: As mentioned above public schools and universities give you the most leisure time in ESL. |
