Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Well the experience in Australia is that you get paid -even though i did work at a private school not part of a university (but they did send their students to learn all there Chinese medicine aspect at our college ).The pay was not the greatest ,but it did make it worth while ,but one needs to remember that when teaching (at any level) you must be prepared for the class ,know most possible Questions (or at least know where to find it ) that could be asked of you !Therefore the increased reading does put you in a better position than those that decide not to teach ! hope this puts some light on your Question !

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Hello Yael, I am a Teaching Assistant for an acupressure program (500 hours leading to national (US) certification). There is no pay for simply being a Teaching Assistant, which some students do to review the material. But you are paid by the hour to give tutorials to individual students or to small groups of students. (If a student misses 12 hours of a 125-hour class, they must make up any additional time missed by taking a tutorial.) The school (Body Therapy Center in Palo Alto CA) requires that I be certified by the state in order to be paid. The state requires three years of experience (training and practice) to be certified.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 ----- Please visit www.tiscali.co.za ----- Hi I found this to be the case as well when I was a student teacher in Shiatsu. I learnt more by teaching, than as a student. Being a teacher forces you to learn: students ask the most difficult questions, especially those with a very Western logical/rigid mindset. And no, I did not get paid: I turned the offer of payment down, because I wanted the experience more than the money. fred > > Rodd [acurodd] > 25 August 2003 01:13 AM > acupuncture > Re: acupuncture Teaching assistants > > > > > Well the experience in Australia is that you get paid -even > though i did work at a private school not part of a > university (but they did send their students to learn all > there Chinese medicine aspect at our college ).The pay was > not the greatest ,but it did make it worth while ,but one > needs to remember that when teaching (at any level) you must > be prepared for the class ,know most possible Questions (or > at least know where to find it ) that could be asked of you > !Therefore the increased reading does put you in a better > position than those that decide not to teach ! > > hope this puts some light on your Question !
