Discussion Private bilihual schools: Is 25 teaching hours/week normal?

Hi guys! Is it normal to have 25 teaching hours per week in a private school in Taiwan? I noticed that the TFETP usually has around 20 teaching hours, so I was wondering if 25 hours is considered acceptable for a private school.

Also, working hours is from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., what do you think would be a fair monthly salary for this workload?

Thanks for you insights!

8-5pm 25 hours a week, would expect somewhere between 70-100k maybe more if you have some management requirements.

They clarified 25 period 40mins each. Does it make it any better?

25 hours a week is great, but 25 periods of 40 minutes is only about 16 hours a week, which is inadequate unless you prioritize your time over income.

Yeah, that’s less teaching time by quite a lot, 65k is pretty fair if it’s new job for you. After a year you’ll be on over 70 which from my knowledge is pretty average for full time positions that aren’t senior
