The difference between private teachers and substitute teachers

Although both private teachers and substitute teachers are engaged in teaching, there are great differences between them.

Different input methods

Private teachers are formally employed by submitting applications to schools and through interview and evaluation procedures. They sign employment contracts with schools, while substitute teachers are temporary jobs for a specific class or discipline, usually directly recruited by schools.

Different nature of work

Private teachers are teaching staff within the fixed establishment of the school, and usually need to undertake relatively stable teaching tasks, such as preparing lessons, teaching and grading. Substitute teachers usually take the place of other teachers temporarily, and their working hours and tasks are flexible.

Difference in treatment

According to the relevant national policies, private teachers enjoy the same treatment and benefits as public teachers, including social security, medical care and seniority allowance. The treatment and benefits of substitute teachers may vary according to the specific situation.

A prerequisite for becoming a substitute teacher

To become a substitute teacher, you need to meet the following prerequisites: 1, with relevant academic qualifications and professional knowledge; 2. Have good communication skills and teaching skills; 3. Have legal qualifications.
