[silly mid on]

i am doing winter camp at the mo and my schedule is 35 clases a week! before this started i was doing around 29-30, still alot. But one of our teachers finishes his/her contract at the end and our boss is too money hungry to get a new one. SO, i have 35 classes a week AFTER winter camp...my schedule doesnt even change! not happy and am going to have words with her.............

how many are you teaching over the camp/intensives. any advice for me...

i realize people are sick of people moaning but i just want to hear about other peoples schedules etc.

I teach 40 per week during intensives. My month will be in overtime (over 120 hours) as of Wednesday afternoon.

I work at a hagwon. My schedule varies from month to month from 18-50min classes to 22-50min classes per week.

I also do 8-10 hours of privates per week.

i work at a hagwon and teach 24 - 50 min classes and 4 - 40 min classes during the week. i think i found a sweet deal since i don't work saturdays and my pay is $2200/month...and i've never had any teaching experience.

I've got 25 fifty minute class periods a week. Sometimes I'll pick up another class period or two temporarily since a lot of the Korean staff is being shuffled around. I think my schedule is pretty easy.

Sixteen ffty minute classes a week. But now I'm on vacation.

[goodgood]

Approx sixty-five 25 minute classes a week. Every week. Not the ideal situation.

[screw_driver]

i do 17 45 minute classes a week during this winter vacation. In February i will be doing 13 45 minute classes per week. It gets really boring when you have so much free time and nothing to do. Would rather be productive with my time.

Winter camps? 11 hours a week for 4 weeks.

Regular time? 20-25 hours depending on how much overtime I want.

Unis are nice!!

[I-am-me]

I am teaching 33 45 minute classes per week during the holidays. Afterwards it will probably go down to around 20 thank god!!

2200 a month is terrible pay

A couple of grade 6 classes have ended because they begin middle school hagwon classes, and since there's a lull in adult classes... i teach 14 classes a week at the hagwon for 2.2 mill and the apart. Last year I had the hardship of having to teach 22 classes a week and might have to go back to that in March. And - oh - I only work Mondays through Thursdays. Never before 2:20 pm and always done by 7:50 pm the latest, and always with a dinner break of 20-40 minutes.

(I just decided - today! - to sign on for another year at the same contract conditions. should I have asked for a raise? maybe, but i'm not greedy. besides, i didn't want them to start wanting me to work the fridays I got off before agreeing to come to this small town.)
