How do instructors get paid?

Instructors are paid as independent contractors. MTN does not withhold taxes. All music teachers are paid monthly and are issued a 1099 form for the IRS at the end of each calendar year.

How does MTN differ from the competition?

While no one can guarantee that an instructor will have a full student load all of the time, we do our best not to over hire more instructors than we need.

What is expected from an instructor?

Consistency, commitment to excellence and exceptional attention to detail is what sets our instructors apart from other schools. Communication is a major requirement with respect to your position with MTN. An instructor is required to log in on the website at the end of each day's lessons and physically check off each lesson that was completed, canceled or rescheduled for that day, along with a brief synopsis of everything that was conducted in the lesson and all progress that was made.

Does MTN require a dress code?

MTN requires that instructors arrive dressed in a clean and professional way that reflects their valuable teaching abilities.

Why do I have to provide a picture when applying to MTN?

MTN provides a photo of all of our instructors to interested students prior to arrival at the home for security purposes. Also, all MTN instructors are required to maintain a professional MTN profile on our company website.

Why is prior teaching a requirement?
