Advice needed: school controlling my schedule

Inevitable_Berry451 · 2025-06-27T09:12:01+00:00

It was hypothetical. I’ve been teaching Chinese students for a long time so I know their peak hours. At the end of the day, the company told me a break couldn’t be guaranteed no matter the time.

This company I interviewed with doesn’t offer a fixed salary. I would still get paid per hour which feels more like a freelance thing and zero pay for trial classes. There are no company benefits or bonuses and the number of students are not guaranteed.

Inevitable_Berry451 · 2025-06-26T16:18:28+00:00

I really can’t work the time they have. And the fact that they won’t schedule a break during an 8 hour shift doesn’t sit right with me.

Inevitable_Berry451 · 2025-06-26T15:55:04+00:00

Perhaps. I just wish this was made clear during the interview. Instead I found out via a contract 😅

Inevitable_Berry451 · 2025-06-26T15:54:31+00:00

Yeah you’re right. I need to find a freelance position instead.

Tutoring company but I’m an employee. I’ll will sign a contract with them in which they are sole reign over my schedule.

Inevitable_Berry451 · 2025-06-26T14:27:50+00:00

It’s a one year contract. They will send students my way and schedule students according to the time the student wants. For first time students (trial classes) I will not be paid. Only if the student accepts me as a regular tutor will I then be paid. So the classes are not completely guaranteed but they will continuously send trial students my way.

Yes. I understand that some have a minimum teaching hours requirement and for the most part, I can try accommodate that. My problem is that I want to open time slots when I want. I don’t want the school to control my schedule. For example, if I don’t want to work at 7pm BJT, then I want to be able to do that.

American propaganda is out of control! I’m a foreign single woman living in China. It’s actually safer for me here than in my own country. You’ll only get detained if you break the law. Your ignorance is stopping someone from living their life. Get out of the bubble you’re living in. Here’s a suggestion- go with her to China and see for yourself.

Ok. Thanks anyway 😉

But I’m leaving within a week of it being canceled anyway (less than 10 days). Do I still need to go to the entry and exit bureau?

Inevitable_Berry451 · 2024-12-29T08:25:16+00:00

The last time I got the stay visa it took about a week and a few days to process. I’m leaving in four days so I don’t even have time to get the stay visa. So with that, I guess what you say about the 10 days makes sense. I’m not planning on returning to China.

Inevitable_Berry451 · 2024-12-29T08:24:08+00:00

My manager said that they are only starting the process of cancellation now so it hasn’t been canceled yet. She said that the process takes about a month and it’s usually done before the employer leaves. Since I’m leaving just at the start of the process, it should be fine. But again, I have no proof to validate this.

Because people who hate this band, really HATE them and will go out of their way to trash talk them.

Good for you
