Why I left New Oriental: A letter from a former new oriental teacher

Editor's note: Yesterday published the article "This year, leaving the new Oriental teachers" after the network received a number of readers letter, one of the original new Oriental Teacher's letter is very representative. We are releasing it to help you understand and reflect on the new Oriental teachers. The following is the original letter, some of which are edited and abridged. How to know how to edit the network Hello! I am an English teacher, five years ago left the new Oriental, run their own training institutions. Read the article "This year, leaving the new Oriental teachers," some things do not vomit. The end of the article with a fable that the new Oriental brand, light teachers. In fact, there is a subtle logic between the two, many new Oriental teachers, as long as they think he/she brought the value of the brand, more than the brand to their own, will go it alone. On the one hand, there will be a great increase in income, good teachers can pay a salary of 0 directly in the back, on the other hand, the pressure will be much smaller. Lao Yu said early new Oriental pay is very competitive. But by the time I left, the pay was lower than the industry average. In a large class, the new teacher will be one hundred or two hundred per hour, one-on-one, many times 100 blocks per hour, below the competitor One-third or more. Don't you want to go on the low class? That is not a penny, the new Oriental is 0 basic salary, all income by class pay (more know net Note: Some teachers will have a book royalties). Such pay structure makes people very insecure and sense of belonging, around the female colleagues pregnant, generally will resign directly. On the one hand, there is no money to earn, they have to pay Provident Fund; On the other hand, the threshold is very low for the new Oriental or other institutions. No basic salary, then more pay it. No problem, but to deduct the super high tax-most teachers are signed is not full ("part-time labor Contract"), the class pay by Labor tax deduction, to the peak season such as summer and winter vacation, even to deduct 20%. Provident Fund These are less pitiful, say not afraid of everyone jokes, I in the new Oriental one year of pay more than 300,000, Provident Fund one months 160, are according to the minimum standard. There is a holiday fee, basically only 100 yuan. Before the spread of a piece of Guangzhou campus, a teacher was told to receive the Mid-Autumn festival benefits, spend 14 of a taxi to school, the results were handed a 12 pieces of Mooncake coupons. After the lower pay, old Yu also thought of the way to retain teachers, such as Daban system and scoring system, but now the effect is very slim. Daban (Editor's note, divides English into words, writing, grammar, reading, class classes) is the hope that through dismantling business, reduce the complete teaching ability of individual teachers, but now are all board business, and some campuses even Yiguoduan to start a business; scoring system is to establish teaching benchmarking, to achieve the stability of the ordinary teachers. But this in itself is a bad currency to expel the process of good currency, the system, "benchmarking" more easily lost. The new Oriental also has the equity incentive system, but can be here to get 10,000 shares of the teacher is rare, these people jump out, a year millions of income a little problem is not. In this industry, allotment is less attractive. The reason teachers are willing to do it alone is that the benefits are raised and the risks are not amplified. Training CoreIs face-to-face, is the teacher, has certain influence, the enrollment is not worried, the risk is very low. I have a lot of cases around me, and it's better than staying in New Oriental. In my case, last year's income was about 2 million, much higher than in new Oriental. Said so many new Oriental is not, in fact, many are also the common problems of training institutions, the current situation, the teacher is a problem-free. In particular, although it is difficult to retain the elderly, but the new Oriental is a good place to experience the workplace, where you can quickly grow and progress. But when experience and prestige accumulate to a certain extent, the brand of new Oriental is of little value. A former new Oriental.
