Core classes are the compulsory academic subjects taken by every student — Maths, Sciences, English, Foreign Language, History, and Global Politics & Global Perspectives. This document sets out the full pay structure for a core teacher covering a single year group (e.g. English Year 9, Maths Year 10, or History Year 11). No surprises, no hidden clauses.

Does "teaching weeks" include Portfolio in Action? No. Portfolio in Action (4.2 weeks total: Oct 26–Nov 2, Feb 22–26, Apr 19–30) involves no live lessons. Teachers instead do brief per-student check-ins (~10 min/student) plus video/portfolio upkeep (~30 min/week) — supervisory, not instructional, time. So it's a working week for teachers, but not a "teaching week."
What you earn
Scenario
Annual total
Key difference
Year 1 — building the course
$5,520
Full recording load · You create all videos from scratch
Year 2+ — returning teacher
$4,500
~30 min/wk maintenance recording only · Lighter workload · Loyalty rate
Year 2+ — new teacher, existing course
$4,120
~30 min/wk maintenance recording · Videos already exist from prior teacher
Why Year 2+ pays less: The reduction is entirely in the recording component. In Year 2+, the core video library already exists — you maintain and update it with roughly one 30-minute video per week instead of building 80–90 minutes of new content. Live teaching, marking, and admin pay are identical every year.
Returning teacher rate: If you teach the same class again the following year, your contract rate is $4,500 — higher than the new-hire Year 2+ rate of $4,120. This is our way of recognising your investment in building the course and your familiarity with our students.
IGCSE / AP track (if applicable)
If students in your class elect to pursue IGCSE (Years 9 & 10) or AP (Years 11 & 12) track, you receive an additional fee per student on top of your base pay.
IGCSE / AP teacher premium
Per student · Per class · Per year · Paid each enrolment cycle

$350
per student
Example: If 6 students in your Year 10 class are on the IGCSE track, you receive an additional $350 × 6 = $2,100 on top of your base contract pay. AGA retains $150 per student for exam administration and resources.
What we expect of you
- 2 live lessons per week via Zoom (45 min + 50 min) across 28 teaching weeks
- During Portfolio in Action weeks (4.2 weeks total, no live lessons): brief per-student check-ins (~10 min/student) plus ~30 min/week of video/portfolio upkeep
- 80–90 min of new recorded video per week in Year 1 (broken into 20–30 min segments using ScreenPal)
- ~30 min maintenance video per week in Year 2+ (updating or refreshing existing content)
- 20 graded assignments per year and 6 exams (2 term-end, 1 per quarter)
- 1 × 45-minute staff meeting per month (virtual)
- 3 professional development days at the start of the academic year (10am–1pm EST each)
- IGCSE or AP familiarity strongly preferred — not required, but a significant advantage
Letters of recommendation
Should students request a letter of recommendation from you, this falls outside your standard contract and is compensated separately.

A note on authenticity: Letters of recommendation must reflect your genuine knowledge of and relationship with the student. They should be written entirely in your own voice and words. The use of AI writing tools to generate or substantially draft letters is not permitted — authenticity is central to their value for our students, and AI-generated letters risk serious harm to student applications and to AGA's reputation with universities.
Why Years 11 & 12 students pay higher tuition: Teacher pay is identical across all year groups. The higher tuition for Years 11 & 12 ($12,000 vs $10,000) reflects the significant additional work carried out by AGA administration — not teachers — including university application advising, transcript preparation, letters of recommendation, and ongoing liaison with universities on behalf of students. This work is led by the founder and director every Friday as part of the school's core offering.
A note on recorded content: Videos you create are branded as Allbright Global Academy content. AGA holds the right to use and publish them. You are welcome to reuse your recordings in your own private teaching — we just ask that you remove AGA branding before doing so, and do not post them publicly (e.g. on YouTube or social media). You own your expertise; we share the output.
