What is the difference between the PRIVATE and PUBLIC schools when teaching overseas?
During the interview we will discuss this with you. Often it is personal preference, and depends on what kind of experience you are looking for. We have compiled a list to give you an idea of the pros and cons of both. Private Language Schools – HIRE EVERY MONTH • 1 year contracts- start from the day you start teaching. • Pre-school to high school–usually you will have a mix range of ages. • Smaller classes with 3-12 students per class • Opportunity for overtime. If you teach over your allocated hours you will be paid overtime. • Can be more specific in location preference • Will have support of other foreign teachers- usually 3-20 other teachers depending on the size of school • School training provided • Jobs start year round- so you can apply anytime • Lots of resources available to you – provide by the school • Schedule is usually Monday to Friday. No weekends are required. • Teaching certification not required • Pay usually is a little higher • Specific vacation time is allocated
