Information for New/Prospective Teachers
LLU has offered a comprehensive schedule of stimulating and enjoyable classes, taught by outstanding instructors (legally defines as independent contractors) since September 1979.

To promote this program we publish a new schedule, with over 500 classes, six times a year. More than 125,000 free schedules are distributed every two months through the greater Houston area. Of these, more than 20,000 are mailed to people who request them. Approximately 28,000 students participate in LLU classes each year--drawn from direct contact with our schedules, from our web site, as well as from our publicity outreach to local print and electronic media. In addition, we arrange classes with our teachers at the request of local businesses and/or after-school programs who seek specialized instruction for their employees and students.

LLU teachers are given exclusive rights to the subject(s) they teach as long as they can accommodate the number of students who sign up. In some cases, where a teacher wants to teach only in a certain part of town, other teachers will be allowed to teach the subject in a different geographical area.

Teachers are not hired as employees of Leisure Learning Unlimited, but are contracted as an Independent Contractor.

Generally, teachers receive 20 to 35% of the course fees. For classes that generate average enrollments, this translates into more than $25 per hour.

LLU rents meeting rooms to instructors at a rate of $2 per student, per four hour meeting. Because of our convenient Galleria area location, a high percentage of classes meet here. Some teachers teach in their own facilities; this, and a few other issues are negotiated after the prospective teacher's meeting.

Teachers are required to pay a one-time only $10 listing fee for each new class. This payment, received at the time of the prospective teacher's meeting, is an attempt, on the part of LLU, to establish the seriousness of the part of prospective teachers to teach.

Download the eight page Teacher's Handbook for detailed information.

We hope this overview answers most of your questions. If not, we are sure they will be addressed at the prospective teacher meeting or afterwards in a post-meeting telephone conference.

Thanks again for your interest in LLU.
Sincerely,
Ted Weisgal
Co-Founder/Co-Director, LLU
