The offer letter you receive will state the exact terms, including probation, notice period and confirmation criteria." }, { "q": "How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?", "a": "Most schools issue a written offer within 3–7 working days of the final round. If you don't hear back in 10 days, a quick polite follow-up via the \"Message employer\" button on this HOD English listing is usually welcome." }, { "q": "How big are the classes?", "a": "Class sizes in Indian K-12 schools usually fall in the 25–40 student range. Premium IB/IGCSE schools often cap sections at 22–25." }, { "q": "How do I make a resume for a CBSE HOD English job?", "a": "Use the free school-style resume builder — role-anchored headline, B.Ed/CTET/PD block, and measurable outcomes per school (a one-page PDF is what shortlisters want): /resume-builder." }, { "q": "What does a typical day look like?", "a": "School days usually run 7.5–8 hours with 5–6 teaching periods, plus prep, lunch and one or two non-teaching duties (homework checks, library, club).

The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities." }, { "q": "What non-teaching duties are expected?", "a": "Beyond teaching periods you'll typically own a homeroom, run one club/activity, support exam logistics, and contribute to one school-wide initiative each term." }, { "q": "What is the average HOD English salary in Chennai?", "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to HOD English roles in Chennai. City tier and board affiliation move the number materially — IB and Cambridge schools sit at the top of the range, state-board private schools at the base." } ] }
