Fixed-schedule, guaranteed hours teaching online to adults & children across China Job Description
First Future is the pioneer of B2B cloud teaching platforms in China and has developed a state of the art Online English Teaching environment for schools and language centres across the country.
As a First Future teacher, you will be working on a fixed schedule. This means that you have guaranteed hours and a guaranteed minimum income. For example, if your project was for weekday evenings, 6 – 9 p.m., then, as an absolute minimum, you would be paid your base rate for 15 hours each week. At First Future, you are paid in full even if a lesson hasn’t been booked during your shift.
We have a range of teaching projects available:
Special Project – Classroom Broadcasts
You will be teaching groups of around 20 students in a virtual classroom (VC), which is broadcast on a big screen at the school.
Fixed Schedule Projects
You will be part of a team delivering the online element of blending learning courses for a specific school or language centre chain. Students have face-to-face lessons with a Chinese teacher, then have an online review session with a Western teacher. All lesson content is provided, so there is little preparation required. A standard lesson would include going through pre-taught vocabulary and supporting your students to gain confidence in speaking.
Flexi-Classes
These work in the same way that most online schools do. You set your availability on a daily basis.
Payment Details
Hourly Rate: Base rate $10-12 + Class completion bonus $1-3 + Group bonus $1 + Weekend bonus $1 … most teachers earn around $15/hour
