Teaching private and small-group* face-to-face and online lessons to clients of all ages (from young children to seniors) and abilities (from beginner to advanced). In some cases, the offer may include the opportunity to also teach special online programs for larger groups.
Minimal preparation is required before each class and student assessment, including the recording of student performance in the students’ electronic file, is completed in class at the end of each lesson.Any contracted work periods that are not reserved for lessons are used for student recruitment, customer care, and customer support activities.
Schedules:
Contracts may be offered for any number of lessons a week, up to 40, visa status permitting. For an instructor contracted to teach 37 lessons a week, a typical schedule will consist of four 8-lesson (including a meal break) shifts and one 5-lesson (no meal break) shift. The shift times and schedules that we can offer are dictated by customer demand. Demand peaks on weekends and weekday evenings. Although larger branches also offer lessons in the mornings on weekdays, most branches offer lessons from around midday during the week, with shift start and finish times typically falling somewhere between 12:30 pm and 9:30 pm. On weekends and national holidays, demand is higher earlier in the day, and as a result, shifts typically start and finish somewhere between 10:00 am and 6:30 pm
All teaching positions are school-based, with shift start and finish times between 12:50-21:10 on weekdays, and 9:30-18:40 on weekends and national holidays. Saturdays, Sundays, and weekday evenings are the busiest times. Remuneration is calculated per lesson period, according to the type of lesson and the number of students in attendance.
