School Teachers Working as Tutors

[clioclio]

Just want to ask if a current school teacher is allowed to teach in an enrichment centre? Like Mavis, or Mindstretcher etc.?


Anyone knows>?

[SAHM_TAN]

Sure, as long as the tr is not teaching his/her class students.


MOE allow trs to give tuition max 6 hrs per wk of their own time.

How the tuition is to be carried out is not explicitly listed.

I am a tuition agent from Justin Tutors. Basically, according to MOE regulation, current school teachers are only allowed to teach a maximum of 6 hrs per wk for their tuition.

By the way, I think MOE also don't know how many hours per week their school teachers teach. How do they check? There are so many around.

A trust system is in place. If the teacher breaches that trust, she can be disciplined by the MOE. This 6 hour a week thing has been around from back in 1999, when I started teaching.

And they can be employed privately by households? Weird logic.

[janet88]

Such unethical teacher should be reported.


Teachers are paid by MOE to serve in schools…how can they possibly coach privately and be paid again? Where does their loyalty lie?
