Still, I can't understand how any teacher could have "no prep" time. Shocked


Entirely possible if you work for NOVA in Japan. Ten minutes between each class doesn't exactly give you time to prep much, especially if you don't know what kind of class you're going to teach until ten minutes beforehenad!

On another note, in China (for EF) we taught 29-32 hours/week during peak seasons, which was one hell of a workload. Add to that prep time, marking, and "other duties as assigned by management," and you've got 60+ working hours/week.
