You teach a reasonable five 1-hour classes a day, 5 days a week (though the 5 days is shifted from the standard - you will work weekends). Good people in regards to colleagues, and before they left I did have this one amazing boss, but I wouldn’t do it. I had times I cried in the bathroom from just being lied to, disrespected and overloaded. I heard one manger tell another “teachers are resources” in defence that they would transfer us to another city or sack us. More work, no pay raise, less teachers, more students, less and less respect and consideration. On top of it all things change almost every week as the compsny in China seems to be struggling. You are given classes with little warning, all the time it’s like they don’t respect we need to plan things and it’s very stressful. They provide materials which is the excuse for low pay and forgetting teachers need to plan classes but the material is minimal, the classes as given are not very engaging and you need time to rework them. Six classes every day, sometimes six + activities and demo classes.
However as you become more experienced naturally they expect more, which is understandable but, it fast becomes too much. In my first year in EF it was lovely, a fair work load, support and good people, I had an amazing boss then that really respected us and protected us from the higher-ups.
