Teachers' Meeting on Jan. 17th
Host: Colleen
0. Small Talk
1. New Teacher: Nick, living in Scotland, the UK, studied Design in Edinburgh, the UK: http://aloud.kr/xe/62939#0 His working hours are 3:30pm - 8:30pm. He comes to European teachers' meeting, so he won't often make an appearance at the American teachers' meeting. We welcome Nick anyway!
2. General Rules for teachers:
Teachers may suffer a pay cut more than one month, if they do not follow the rules. The teacher will get only the basic rate (without the bonus rates and prime teacher's rate). The remaining teachers will split the portion left behind.
2.1. Teachers should give Kevin 2 weeks notice before any scheduled vacation!
2.2. New teachers should teach 5 months in a row from the first class.
2.3. After 3 or more days scheduled vacation, teachers should work minimum 2 months in a row after the vacation.
2.4. In the case of teachers not coming to school on time without any notices or any warnings, the teacher should contact Kevin in 22 hours from that time through email or phone, otherwise Kevin would find a replacement. If the teacher comes back later, the teacher may not have any students more. So the teacher should start with one new student again.
2.5. New teachers should be living in the USA, the UK or Canada. But established teachers can teach in one of the countries listed:
Australia Austria
Belgium Bulgaria
Czech Republic
Denmark
Finland France
Germany Greece
Holland Hong Kong Hungary
Israel Italy
Japan
Korea
Latvia
Norway
Poland Portugal
Romania
Spain Sweden Switzerland
Thailand Taiwan
(30 Countries total incl. USA, UK, and Canada)
Countries may be added but no countries from Africa and from Latin America. Because they are geometrically too far from Korea. Regardless of the country, cable connection is strongly recommended; no Wifi: Minimum download speed: 2 Mbps; Upload speed: 0.512 Mbps. Teachers should test the connection with Kevin, before teaching from the location.
- Teachers should have 3 hours availability Monday through Friday between our working hours (Korean Time: 4PM-12AM). If a teacher cannot be available for 3 hours, the teacher cannot teach at our school.
- Every rules has an exception, please ask Kevin, if you have any questions.
