First, wages and benefits. The average salary of teachers in the same educational institution is higher than that of course consultants. Take New Oriental as an example. There are many teaching points in first-tier cities, and there are few courses consultant positions. The salary of newcomers in the workplace 1300+ plus commission (a few years ago, it may be increased now), and the number of course consultants can reach10000+; There are many teachers' posts, and the salary of newcomers in the workplace is unknown, which seems to be higher than the basic salary of curriculum consultants, but generally the old teachers with several years' experience in children's English work can reach the level of 10000+.
After working for several years, the probability of becoming a course consultant supervisor is obviously low. However, as a teacher, with the continuous enrichment of teaching experience, teaching methods become more and more skilled, creating a gold medal teacher effect, and students will continue to flow. In a few years, it is possible to reach the salary level of the course consultant supervisor.
Second, the work content. Course consultant is to provide consultation on course arrangement for consulting clients and sell courses according to their needs. Generally speaking, the main job is to call and answer the phone. According to my previous internship experience, it is no exaggeration to receive about 50 phone calls a day (my ears hurt after work every day). Some ask about the course price, some visit students regularly, and some ask about the teaching address.
To make a digression, I met a parent at the entrance of the teaching point before, saying that I couldn't find the address and had been scolding the course consultant for no reason. Therefore, curriculum consultants should accept all kinds of difficulties and inquiries from customers, that is, parents. Hmm ~ be patient and keep smiling.
Teachers' main job is to prepare lessons and teach in one-on-one or small classes, mainly to serve students. Contact with parents, but relatively few. Compared with curriculum consultants, parents are much more polite to teachers. After all, children's academic performance is closely related to teachers' teaching. The only thing teachers need to do is to improve the interest and vividness of the course and abandon the "cramming" teaching of school teachers. The interest and vividness of the classroom can be imitated. In my spare time, I can look at the courses of gold medal teachers and benefit a lot. Of course, capturing students' hearts is also a science. Not all the students who are urged by their parents to attend the training class are eager to learn and make progress. Some are "forced to do nothing." For students who are not interested in learning, teachers should actively find students' interests to carry out courses, and should not be eager to achieve success.
In the long run, if you want to enter the education and training industry, it is best to be a teacher, contact students directly and exercise your teaching ability. Course consultants do not involve teaching content, but mainly cooperate with parents, mainly to exercise their eloquence and sales ability. Their future plans are different, and they should be measured according to their hobbies and career development direction.
