The environment is clean and bright. I already liked it when I went for the interview, and I feel that working in such an environment puts me in a good mood. The class manager and other senior instructors are very friendly, and whenever I have a question, everyone is willing to help, which makes me feel very reassured.
I don’t have to prepare teaching materials myself. My friend works as a private tutor and has to prepare their own materials, so they were quite envious when they learned that I don’t need to prepare my own materials when working at Ming Guang.
The scheduling is stable. After I was hired, I received a steady schedule. At first, I was a little worried that there might be times when I wouldn’t have any classes to teach, but it has remained quite stable so far.
The class manager communicates with students’ parents. This is what I consider the biggest advantage. Whenever students’ parents have any questions, the class manager communicates with them, so I can focus on preparing lessons and teaching students.
I don’t have to teach many students at once. There are at most three students in a class. Compared with other cram schools, where there may be more than a dozen students at once, I find three much more manageable, and I can focus more on the students’ questions.
After working as an instructor for a while, people around me said that my communication skills and patience had improved. It was an unexpected benefit.
There are quite a few miscellaneous things, such as reflection books (similar to communication notebooks) and notebooks, and I sometimes forget them.
I feel mentally exhausted when I encounter students who are difficult to teach.
I hope the salary and benefits can be improved further.
