Quote susan53 For instance, if you have five beginners courses all of the same age group and at the same stage, you only have to prepare one hour for each five hours you teach. They might not all hit the same lesson the same week, but when they do the preparation is already done. |
Indeed. That's why I even 'pick and choose' classes to a certain extent to try and take advantage of this.
Using a coursebook makes life easier too, especially one you know well. It's those other courses that make things tough - the ones with no book, mixed levels in the class etc etc.
Even if I nearly always do over 30 hours I agree with you about it being too many. I too work in Italy (Sardinia to be precise) and it's tough to make a decent living. Where are you working, if you don't mind me asking?
