What are the regular hours for a GEPIK elementary school (not including overtime)?
If overtime is a normal thing in your opinion, when do you do this overtime, and how often do you do it? 5 days a week? 2/3 days a week?
I need to talk to my school about this and get an idea of what the average is. |

Working hours. 8:40-16:40 (or similar. Basically 8 hours a day)
Teaching hours: 22 classes a week. However, according to the contract the school can ask you to do up to 6 hours (classes) of overtime a week, and you can refuse (provided they fall into the working hours).
I would never do classes outside of my working hours. |

"I would never do classes outside of my working hours."
Then, when do you prepare lessons? I made an agreement with my school to do overtime. This was not really on their end. I was getting paid a lot more at a hagwon, and they agreed to give me the overtime so I would make what I normally made at a hagwon.
The problem is that I have no time to prepare, and as it turns out, the morning hours are not working. It has nothing to do with the school, I just wish I had some time off to do errands like I used to do with my hagwon jobs. |

Umm.. I'm at school from 8:40-16:40 every day (40 hours) I don't do any work during my lunch break - 5hours (I have helped out before, when some students were preparing for an English contest etc.)
That leaves 35 hours in the week. I teach 24 classes a week (including 2 overtime classes) at 40minutes each which equates to 16 hours. That leaves me 19 hours in the week to prepare, go to the bank, mess around on Dave's, talk with my co-teacher and plan my next vacation. |
