A very challenging and demanding environment

The job starts has both night shift and and that 23:30 until 08:15. The job involves teaching students for 45 minutes or 25 minutes with each hour. Staff interacts as much as possible if the time allows however the job is very demanding therefore the isn't a lot of time to interact or speak outside of the job. I have a good relationship with my managers or colleagues. I have learnt to be responsible and to maintain a schedule as advised or provide. I have enjoyed learning various words and being able to increase my vocabulary as well. This has improved my ability to speak the English as well, as it is my second language. The most challenging aspect of the job is the hours and sticking to an ever changing schedule to demand.

Pros: Able to fit around a schedule especially if you're a student
Cons: Long working hours and possible suspension due to meeting random criteria created by the parent compant

Excellent experience gained

I managed over 1000 consultants at a stage. The management structure for such a large campaign was restricted due to budget constraints. I am excellent at relationship building so all levels of colleagues was no problem but being remote was. To manage and set up a huge campaign with the right support locally then rolling out to Johannesburg was an amazing learning curve. Working with people in the consultant / tutor environment was a life experience I will never forget. The technology requirements to run a campaign of this size was an interesting and integral part of my job. The most challenging aspects of the job was acting as a go between between a Chinese company and a MD with SA expectations.

Pros: Building a language tutoring campaign from scratch
Cons: Dealing with international company constraints regarding SA Labour laws

Excellent learning curve

I am currently working night shift, so a typical shift starts at 00:30 and ends at 07:30 for me because I go to school thereafter. I typically arrive at work around 00:00 and log in to my PC and check how many sessions I have and review the lessons I will be conducting, thereafter I interact with my colleagues until 00:20 when I enter my first session and begin working till my shift ends. I have learnt to be more patient, especially because the clients are not all on the same level so dealing with each client requires a different element of you in order to ensure that they are happy and understand what you taught. My communication skills also improved a lot, especially in terms of making small talks, initiating and inducing conversations. I enjoy meeting different people everyday and learning about their worldviews and personal perspectives, it's really refreshing, the challenging aspects however is just balancing school and work, but I have done a pretty good job so far, if I can say so myself.

Pros: Improve communication skills
Cons: Exhaustion
