The interview is conducted by foreigners, all of whom are non-experts. They are just looking for someone to listen to students recite their textbooks, so you only need to know a little English.
40 hours per week: 32 hours of teaching and 8 hours of administrative work. They make it sound very flexible,
but you have to be on standby because you need to support unexpected situations.
The teachers are all very young. Students casually go out to buy coffee, and that's fine too.
If you are a genuine teacher considering coming here, please think twice. If you want a part-time job, that works too~!
The boss is an outsider, and all the managers are foreigners. They believe that anyone who can speak Chinese can teach, and that teaching is just chatting with students. Whenever students have problems, it is always the teacher’s fault. However, class placement is handled by the managers, and it is still considered the teacher’s fault. They specifically recruit recent graduates because they are easy to exploit and are afraid to stand up for themselves when problems arise. Teachers teach 32 hours a week, and individual lesson-preparation time is not counted as working hours. They must also be available to accept additional classes at any time. You do not find out the following week’s schedule until Friday, and they do not allow one teacher to lead an entire class because they are afraid the teacher and students will become too close.
