Typical Working Day

Teaching schedule

Teachers are required to prepare sufficiently, so we ask that they arrive at the school 30 minutes before the first class. Teachers can usually leave work after the last class, even if it is before the shift time ends. Sometimes teachers will have demonstration lessons, which last 30 minutes to introduce a potential student to a proper class.
