YOUR TEACHING EXPERIENCE
You will be teaching in either a private language school, private or government primary/high school, or a university. Your students will range in age from 4 years old to 18+.
Your teaching hours will be usually from 8 am until 4.30pm. You can expect to be teaching 20-25 hours a week and weekly admin hours to plan your lessons. You will be given plenty of training on approaching and creating the best lesson for your pupils.
