Pluspunten

friendly colleagues, some snacks in pantry, has a small Nespresso machine, nice location, relocation bonus, bimonthly bonus (if it still exists)

Minpunten

They treat you like minions. Management hates us. They spend all day thinking how to make life miserable for employees. Other people teach 2-4 hours per day max. Us 4 hours min and some days 5-6 hours without break. And they wonder why we dislike the company huh. And they record everything on spy camera, use them as evidence to fire you. Interesting. And they watch you going everywhere. Ok Classroom camera for students security. But corridors? Staff room? If you install five cameras in staff room it means you just want to spy on your own teachers. well done whoever is behind that camera 24/7. On top they want you take more meaningless stuff with no preparation time left for your students. Great news for parents who get overcharged. They won’t give you pay raise until the next academic year. Even if you take a hell lot of responsibilities in between. Mind you, If they don’t like you they won’t bother giving you a raise at all.

First, we would like to apologise for the late reply. We want to thank you for taking the time to write this review to share your experience of working with us. As an education centre, we have a key responsibility to ensure the ongoing safety of both students and teachers while on school premises. CCTV camera surveillance systems are increasingly being used in schools to maintain safety and security, allowing school and staff to focus on their responsibilities and to prevent any undesirables from gaining access to the site. And we would like to clarify that NTK is an education center where we strive to encourage a culture of open communication across our business, and where employees feel valued, respected and heard. As such, we have a number of internal channels, be it anonymous or direct, to enable our employees to provide any constructive feedback or raise any concerns that they may have. The wellbeing of our staff is a top priority as well as our commitment to creating a transparent and collaborative environment for all our employees. We were not aware of your situation, so are sorry we did not have the opportunity to address the concerns you have raised. We have taken your comments on board though, and will discuss how we can prevent a similar experience in the future. Thank you once again for the feedback though, and we wish you the best on your future endeavours.

Pluspunten

- colleagues are nice and friendly - some students are nice

Minpunten

- you cannot decide which days to take for your annual leave. they decided it for you and you cannot switch it after all, even though they said you could - work ends at 8pm even on mid-autumn festival, Christmas eve and you have no time to celebrate with your loved ones - repetitive non-teaching duties that require you to finish them within tight deadlines. if you have to teach 24/7, you need to finish them in your spare time - no time to prepare for class and again, you need to do that when you return home after 8pm or even on holidays due to the busy teaching schedule - you do not have the time to even go to the toilet for the whole day and to drink water when your schedule is full. students do not know that classes are ended 5 minutes early - teaching hours can be manipulated and you cannot get the bonus after all - you are forced to work for extra hours with no compensation because you have to obey the company rules

Pluspunten

Competitive Base Compensation: The pay is fair and the salary is reliable. For the hours you are physically teaching, the remuneration is good. Smart Students: Interacting with high-achieving students can be stimulating. When a lesson clicks, it's rewarding. Practical Training: You receive comprehensive instruction on the specific exam syllabuses, marking schemes, and common student pitfalls. The training gives you immediate confidence in the classroom.

Minpunten

Administrative work: A portion of the job involves administrative tasks, including mandatory student progress tracking and lesson materials update. Managing this alongside a packed teaching schedule, especially during exam period, requires careful time management. Limited Schedule Flexibility: Though it is not a problem for me, the core teaching hours are evenings and Saturdays to match student availability. This may not suit everyone's desired working schedule, though it does allow for free time on weekday days.
