I am interested in finding out how many co-teachers you work with at your present job. I have 21 as I have 21 classes.
Many speak English well and others not at all. In my region there is pressure for many of them to teach English and they attend workshops and other training programs.

I don't have any co-teachers. Something which I'm very happy about.

I have 6 different co-teachers at my elementary, two at my main middle school and two at my other two schools. I guess that makes 10. I would hardly define my elementary KT as co-teachers though.

20

edit: co-teachers or co-workers? no Korean helpers, as I used to refer to them.

6 co-teaching Korean English teachers. All of them rock and 4 of them rock the house.

I am at a middle school 3 days a week.

2 elementary schools the other days.

Everybody knows I have but one coteacher-they learned that pretty quick. It's great except if there is ever a problem, to perpetuate the face saving nonsense the **other** teachers go through my 1 coteacher.

I've taught for 2 years without a co-teacher in hagwons. One year teaching with a 3 co-teachers in a middle school.

Co-teachers suck asss.

One.

But she's becoming such a pain in my ass, that she's shortly going to be demoted to the title "Teachers little helper". Because I know that pisses her off, and I've been trying for 6 months to be nice and treat her with respect.

Five, three of whom don't come to the higher-level classes we 'co-teach' on paper (saving me much annoyance and them occasional embarrassment).
