I noticed some job offers have both 'working hours' and 'teaching hours', do most schools expect you to stay hours that your not teaching?
I usually come in 30mins before I start and stay another 30min after. In some job ads, I see that working hours are 1-9pm and its 25 teaching hours a week, how does that work? |

Yeah, the whole be here a half-hour early and stay a half-hour after crap is juts that, CRAP.
If you're teaching 6 classes, that's enough work for the day. My experience with hagwons is that once your last class is over, it's BYE, BYE.
Really. WTF are you going to accomplish in that ever so precious half hour. Go to bathroom and have a smoke? |

1-9pm jobs are not meant for you to teach 1-9pm. You are expected to be available during those hours. If they can't get enough students, they will break your schedule up and make you work split shifts.
Then, they try to get you to work overtime. Because they got you coming in 40 hours, they will cancel classes which have like only 1 or 2 students. They will tell them to come later. This will "free up" class hours in their mind and they will justify not paying you overtime for other classes they will add to your schedule. Then, the next week, you will surely see those students that "skipped" the previous week.
This is how hagwons try to use up your time and not pay you extra. I have also had them move students up an hour so that they didn't feel they had to pay me for a full schedule. |
