Our Teaching Staff
As of December 31, 2024, we employed 284 full-time instructors and 2,118 full-time teaching assistants associated with our continuing operations, namely, the provision of IT-focused supplementary STEM education services.
Our instructors
Most of our instructors are graduates with strong academic background in IT or have industry backgrounds in global and domestic technology companies. Our instructors also provide us with unique access to a large pool of talents that is especially valuable in our decision-making and development process for new courses. We believe we attract highly qualified instructors by virtue of our respected brands, our well-established teaching infrastructure and sales team and our competitive compensation.
We believe that developing and maintaining highly capable and motivated instructors is critical to our success. We seek qualified instructor candidates who have extensive industry experience or come from other STEM education service providers. All instructors are required to undergo training in teaching skills and techniques. We require our instructors to regularly update their course materials to remain current with evolving needs and other key trends necessary to teach effectively. We typically have a backup instructor assigned to each course to meet any emergency needs.
To align incentives, instructors receive bonuses based on students’ ratings and the number of class sessions taught, in addition to their base compensation.
Our teaching assistants
We believe that our dedicated teaching assistants are essential to the success of our education model. Our teaching assistants interact with our students and/or their parents, handle logistics matters associated with our courses and take care of students needs outside the class. Our teaching assistants are one of the key factors of the operation as we need our teaching assistants to guide our students and/or their parents throughout the course, facilitate a focused learning environment and satisfactory learning experience, and promote student satisfaction, enrollment rates and word-of-mouth referrals. We have adopted a comprehensive set of key performance indicators, or KPIs, to evaluate the performance of our teaching assistants. We primarily seek teaching assistant candidates from experienced teachers or undergraduates with good academic backgrounds or relevant industry experience. We provide necessary training to newly hired teaching assistants to provide effective and satisfactory learning services. Our teaching assistants are frequently evaluated by students on the quality of their assistance.
Course Content Development
We regularly update our existing courses, typically every six months, to stay abreast of the latest technology developments. Prior to developing a new course, we gather market intelligence by collecting market demand information to ensure that we are developing relevant and up-to-date courses. We conduct a series of surveys, each with clear parameters, to determine various aspects of the proposed new course. Once we gather enough market intelligence,
