24/7, 365 days a year. Its like shooting fish in a barrel and you will not be disappointed. Working conditions, student behavior, salary and living conditions are another matter.

....Or maybe we could say, especially outside the world of universities, with the private language schools, it becomes a matter of kissing frogs?

The people are inevitably friendly and charming, and you will have no trouble finding someone who will sell you hard on their deal. This does assume you are a native speaker with a pulse, and you would not be unattractive to the students they are serving (e.g., obese, sullen, etc). If you are young and energetic you really will have options.

Then you get to what sort of deal you can swing. And if you read these forums carefully you will come to understand its highly variable, depending of supply & demand at the point in time you arrive. And once hired, even with a "contract," things are always open to renegotiation.

Simply come in-person and be very flexible.
