| | | Marysia, your partner might want to look at the NET scheme instead. Pay is better and there's also a gratuity at the end of the 2 yr contract. 15% of the total salary of 2 yrs | |

Thank you for your advise | If he is a music teacher then I would not worry too much. He could probably, in addition to his job, give some private lessons.
HK parents are crazy about this kind of things and are willing to pay a lot so that their 4 years old plays piano, tennis, speaks mandarin, english, german....all of course in addition to the normal school work. | |

I appreciate that it may not be legal but this I would guess can be addressed.
It is certainly so much better to know that if necessary, there will be a way to subsidise his salary.
I, on the other hand am a Social Worker with 15 years expericence (foster care, mental health, adoptions) but I only speak English, Polish and some Freinch - any one with any advise in regards to work - all what I would like is a part time job or even a volunteer work to start with. | |

| | | no sorry, he does not believe in suzuki method
he has taught for a very long time now and has develped his own
method for very young children, otherwise he teaches with the use of
traditional methods and achieves great results with children and adults | | Tools | Search | | | | | Rate This Thread | | | All times are GMT +8. The time now is 06:10 AM. | |
