Code of Conduct

Respect
EigoPass teachers should treat students with the same level of respect that they would expect from others. Professionalism should be practiced in all situations before, after, and during lessons.
Attire

Teachers should dress appropriately for all lessons. Although suits are not required, nothing offensive should be worn to trial lessons and regular lessons. Teachers have the flexibility to discuss with their students on what is appropriate and not appropriate when an understanding between the two of you has been established.

Punctuality

Please be punctual! Lateness is considered an extremely rude act to most students. Therefore, we ask that you please be on time. If in the event that you are running late, inform the student of the situation as soon as possible.

Manners

Teachers should refrain from smoking during lessons. If the student doesn’t like smoking, please choose areas that are smoke free whenever possible during cafe lessons.

Be kind and courteous
Prepare for lessons beforehand

Have lessons at agreed locations
DON’T’s
