I am quitting soon so idgaf - Teacher The Pique Lab Employee Review

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand that our expectations of teaching standards are high - and it’s no secret that every teacher undergoes a rigorous training process to keep up with them. This effort is necessary to ensure that all students at The Pique Lab receive the best possible learning experience, regardless of which teacher they’re assigned to. It’s worth noting that teachers at The Pique Lab conduct an average of 9 regular classes per week (typically on a 4 weekday + 1 weekend arrangement), which is 25% lower than the industry average of 12 regular weekly classes. For Junior Teachers (especially those within their first 2 years), a significant portion of working hours is spent on their own learning and development. The pace of this journey varies depending on individual aptitude and alignment with our teaching expectations. Even when company socials are generally held during work hours, participation is typically optional. We’ve made a conscious effort to communicate this to respect team members who prefer to spend their time differently. If there was a specific incident that led to any feelings of being "guilt-tripped," we would like to understand more and are open to investigating further. Regarding your mention of micromanagement, it’s unclear what you’re referring to when mentioning things “not acceptable why and why.” If this pertains to curriculum-related communication, we do expect our teachers to help students understand key curriculum nuances as informed by our curriculum team’s analysis. This is part of our commitment to effective learning outcomes. As for leave, we’ve made several structural changes to improve teachers’ work-life balance, more notably: + No regular classes are scheduled on Mondays, allowing for a protected rest day for all teachers. + Teachers enjoy a full month without regular classes in December to recharge - a practice uncommon in the industry. + We also allow for vacation during term time, within reasonable parameters to ensure continuity of classes and adequate team coverage. + Increasing the number of personal leaves up to 19 days in a year + Providing time-off, especially during peak holiday periods where workshops are expected to be conducted outside of typical work hours Once again, we appreciate your feedback. We’ll continue to reflect and make improvements where due, while remaining committed to a high-performing, student-centred teaching culture. 😊
