        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.

                  yes...school teachers are NOT allowed to teach in tuition centres because that is a form of \"outside employment\"... cannot be take $ for moe and take $ from tuition centre boss right? 🙂 haha.

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

                        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?
