 |
|
| with salaries being low for the newbie, do SMOE teachers get much chance to earn some extra cash with overtime? or is that quite rare? |

| Depends on the school. Some have lots of after school classes, some don't. Some districts also look for teachers to head to other schools after school. Ask your school about classes there, then ask the district. |

As Bop said it depends on the school. Some more efluent schools have after school programs done by outside companies that employ their own NT. My school has this and I have nothing to do with it.
Directly, teaching my students outside of the normal class time has never occurred for me. My school with me, as with all the teachers in the school, would rather that we relax and prepare. Just re-energize our batteries so to speak.
However, depending on your district there are opportunities to make extra money.
In my district, they have run night classes for adults. The offer it at a chosen school where you conduct conversation classes.
There is a new operation being run (and I think it is happening in a number of districts now) that NT's run a 13 week Teacher Training Program for Korean Teachers. Normally done in the evening ( 5 to 7) and meet 3 nights a week. The pay is much better (40,000won/hour) and you have the opportunity to design the cirricullum.
Note, each school, district and program differs in their hourly rate for teaching. So, it is up to you hour much you are willing to sell your services.
One final thing. You can market your ideas to your school about teaching intensive classes (conversation etc) outside the normal hours. Make a proposal, outline a lesson a plan and discuss it with your school. They won't move if you ask them that you want to earn extra money (teach more classes). They want to see something tangible in what you propose. |

last post had a good idea.
my night classes start next week. sometimes I only teach 1 class, but now I have too many students so I'll teach 2 (double the money for me, why not?).
The plus side is that its through my school so I dont have to worry about the legal stickiness of teaching privates. The downside is, of course, I cant charge as much as I would for privates.
Besides through your school you'll probably have other coworkers asking you to teach their kids privately so you can jump on that if you want to. |
