Though they are somewhat exhaustive, please consider them carefully to ensure for the smoothest possible interview experience.  Applicants currently employed at an alternate English school will not be considered. Further, any successful applicant who later goes on to seek additional part time employment at an alternate English school will be promptly dismissed due to conflict of interest/breach of contract.  Our operating hours are between 13:00pm and 21:00pm on weekdays (Tues-Fri) and 10:00am to 18:00pm on Saturdays. Lessons on Weekdays typically occur between 16:00 and 21:00, so the successful candidate should available to work those hours. Additionally, it is required that the successful candidate be available to work from Tuesday through Saturday every week.  Multiple instances of short notice cancellation will result in a penalty. The successful applicant is expected to be considerate of the school’s needs, and whatever commitments they make regarding availability to work.  The successful applicant should arrive a minimum of an hour before their lessons are scheduled to commence. This allows for adequate lesson/material preparation time. Failure to abide by this rule will also result in disciplinary measures. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ■The Cover Teacher will work 10-15 days per month (averaging 2/3 days each week). The position involves 4 main duties. 1) Cover teacher The cover teacher will fill in for full-time staffers while they are on vacation, or on sick leave. Vacation days may be decided in advance and the cover teacher is expected to make themselves available to take the lessons of the full-time staffer. Note: Please be aware of the possibility that if a full-time staffer should suddenly fall ill, you may be called upon to work on short notice. 2) Seasonal course teacher Seasonal courses happen at the school from March-April, July-August, and December-January. These are extra lessons our students can opt to take. The lessons will then be taught on fixed days of the week for those 2-month periods. 3) Make-up lessons We offer "make-up" lessons for students who have missed their regularly scheduled classes. 4) “Practice with” Lessons. In the interest of giving the cover teacher more consistent hours, as well as facilitating rapport building between cover teacher and other staff/students we will schedule “Practice with” lessons on a semi-regular basis. Such lessons will involve teaching some lessons of the full time Native English Teacher, while that teacher attends to other tasks/students. This ideally will also help the cover teacher to get more experience in the classroom, and more quickly become familiar with our teaching style at WinBe. Again, these lessons would be scheduled based on the successful applicant’s schedule. ■ What We Offer • Extensive training and full support to help you to perform your duties (6 days of start-up at a training school, followed by 5 days of on-the-job training at a branch school) ■ Main Duties • Deliver 50-minute English lessons for children between the ages of 3-15 in classes of up to 6 students. • Adapt lesson plans to meet the interests and learning styles of students while meeting lea
