Work / Interview at a Callan School [204]

yeah and i'm not so sure about the pay and contract etc.. the guy said i could work with a contract, without a contract, however i want. its 25zl netto, he even said himself he knows its low, the reason its low is because its easy. i still havent signed anything or given them my bank details!

each class is 50 mins so i guess its 25 netto for 50 mins. when i go in tomorrow i will ask all these questions, i wanna sign something! shit wasnt this complicated in england...

well today i did my first lesson COMPLETELY unprepared as we are not allowed to take books home and are expected to go in am little earlier to read through what the students will be doing. which also isn't THAT accurate as it depends where the last teacher got to. it went ok but this evening i have to go back and teach stage 7! luckily i managed to download PDFs of all the stages, im revising from it right now, stage 7 seems a lot harder to explain to people than the first few stages, especially considering i know fuck all about the callan method!

but as was pointed out above, its march and i think im pretty lucky to get something in a callan school right now, even if im being paid very low and havent even been trained.

just had 2 more classes this evening, im getting used to it already! who needs training ay. but one day, probably in september il start demanding at LEAST 30 zl netto from them or another school, there are plenty around krakow.

I am a native speaker. In fact I am the only teacher from England out of 15. 1 other is American and another is South African, but other than that its all Poles. Everyone there gets paid 25zl per hour. I rung some other Callan schools to try find out what they pay but they didn't tell me.

The owner and headmaster at the school are both really cool and give a good amount of hours to me, but I guess in the end money is far more important to him than anything else and that is why he only pays teachers 25zl brutto/net.

its 25zl per 50 mins.

Do they get ZUS as part of that too? 25zl seems even worse considering there is no health insurance as part of the deal.

So most Callan schools pay their teachers cash in hand then? How do they get away with that, is it easy for schools here to do illegal things?
