The position involves teaching of five or six lessons for children in a day (50 minutes each) and one or two lessons for adults a day (50 minutes). Besides the lessons, the school prepares few seasonal events each year, such as Christmas, Halloween, and one or two summer events.
For all contract employees, attendances at these events are mandatory; however, the pay of the day will be counted as overtime in case of the day being a holiday.
In the lessons for children, the classes are divided into twelve different levels of students based on age and ability, with maximum size up to six children. This means our teachers must teach many different classes every single week.
In the lessons for adults, students are grouped by ability, but in cases of ability gap between the students, teachers must find solutions to get all the students to be involved. Above all, our teachers must be flexible and adapt to several different situations, including last-minute schedule changes.
