Collaboration and Job Security

Teacher/ Admin (Current Employee) - Sydney NSW - 6 October 2020

My job entails a lot of challenges especially when confronted by this unprecedented pandemic but the owner and the whole team are collaborative and supportive. The owner communicates with transparency and treats her team with equality. It is always nice to sit down with her and learn something new. She knows how to solicit opinions and at the same time empower people to work efficiently. She knows how to listen to her employees. She tries to instill a culture of optimism, accountability, transparancy and accomodating kind of communication as well as excellence in what we do.

Cons

Rewarding workplace

Teacher (Current Employee) - Kogarah NSW - 6 July 2020

I find Global Education Academy to be a highly rewarding job. I have worked as a teacher and an administrator, and it has been a positive experience for me. The staff are friendly and welcoming to new team members. There is a close knit work culture and I always feel supported in my work. I would suggest this employer to any fully qualified teachers who are looking for rewarding work outside of the standard classroom model. There is room for professional growth and my professional experience is always respected.

Pros

Fantastic team

It's not what it seems

tutor (Former Employee) - Kogarah NSW - 13 July 2019

The school looks professional: everyone employed is required to wear uniform, stationery and materials are provided, the classrooms are also in good condition. You won't get a job there, however, if you don't have your own ABN. I don't believe it is the correct arrangement - for the size of such college tutors definitely should be employees, not contractors. Presumably, the cornerstone of this tutoring school, what sets it apart from others is applying CLT (Cognitive Load Theory), which, however, does not seem to be reflected in the structure of materials used - no obvious fragmenting or scaffolding of information presented. This break-down into "digestible" chunks does not seem to happen in the teaching I had observed either. Work-life balance is good, and so is the location - 5 mins from the train station. As classes are run after school (3:30-7:30), usually 4:00-6:00pm, it is possible to combine your regular work (if you are employed at primary or high school for example) and at Global Education Academy. I hope other teachers feel valued and supported. I certainly was not, the feeling I had was that it is a well-oiled machine: no staff interactions, zero emotions. If one of the parts (staff) experiences some difficulty, a replacement is easily available. The administrator, receptionist and overall school manager is the owner's daughter, which can be helpful on some occasions and counterproductive on others. The most enjoyable part of the job was the actual teaching and learning about my students: what they know, where they need to be, identifying the gap and addressing -
