Forums > Study > Profit margins for Chinese-language colleges in Kunming

I have a friend who used to work at one of the bigger private language schools here in Kunming. She made 25 yuan an hour, but had to also do a lot of extra stuff she wasn't paid for and had to wait around at the school between lessons. Additionally, there was a LOT of ways for her to lose money. If she was late to class 100 kuai docked from her pay. Same if her cell phone rang in class. 50 fine for not turning in a correct lesson plan. And here is the wild one- this school did some student evaluations of teachers. If she didnt get more than 7/10 for her teaching methods and other rated criteria she lost pay.
