Three things, that is all
You do not need to learn the whole system.
As a teacher you use this system for three things: see your lessons, mark them done, and check your pay. Everything else is handled by the office.
The app opens in Chinese. Use the flag buttons at the top-left of the sidebar to switch to English or Thai.
1. Put the app on your phone
The system works in a normal phone browser, but it is much faster if you add it to your home screen. Do this once.
Android or Chrome
- Open the current school portal link provided by the office in Chrome.
- Press the install button that the browser offers.
- The app icon now sits on your home screen. Open it from there every day.
iPhone or Safari
- Open the current school portal link provided by the office in Safari.
- Press the share button.
- Choose Add to Home Screen.
2. Log in
Open the current school portal link provided by the office and sign in with your own email address first. If you have not given your email to the school yet, contact a staff member and tell them which email address to register.
You can change your password at any time from Account. If you forget it, use the password reset link on the login screen. Never borrow another teacher's login.
If the site offers to install the web app, please install it. Allow notifications when the browser asks so automatic features, including useful reminders before lessons, can work right away.
Nothing private is exposed to you
You can see your own lessons, your own students and your own pay. You cannot see school revenue, and you cannot see what other teachers earn. That is by design, so use the system freely.
3. Start on Dashboard
Use the dashboard to see what needs your attention before you open the timetable.
Open Dashboard first. It shows today's lessons, bookings waiting for confirmation, and the Lesson Punch card. The green checkmark in that card is the class confirmation button: tap it after you finish the lesson.
If several lessons are waiting, complete each lesson card separately. For bookings that still need approval, open My Schedule and use Confirm All only after you have checked the dates and times.
Dashboard or My Schedule
The dashboard is the quickest place to mark a finished class. My Schedule is the detailed timetable and the place to confirm bookings before teaching.
4. Set your available and unavailable times
Keep your own calendar honest so the office can assign lessons correctly.
Open My Schedule and open your availability editor. Set the hours when you can teach as available. If you cannot teach, add an unavailable block for the whole day or for a specific time range. You can also set a weekly recurring block, such as every Thursday morning.
- Choose the correct date or weekday.
- Choose Available for teaching hours or Unavailable for time you cannot teach.
- Enter the start and end time, then save.
- For a repeating schedule, choose the weekly option instead of entering the same block every week.
Please update changes yourself
Do not rely only on LINE, email or a verbal message. PonPon is the single source of truth for scheduling. If you block unavailable time within the next 24 hours, the system warns you and may alert an administrator if an assigned lesson overlaps. The lesson is not cancelled automatically; contact the office if it needs reassignment.
A green time is not a class assignment
Available means that the office may assign a lesson. An assigned lesson still needs your confirmation. Check the dashboard or My Schedule for the actual lesson and accept or decline it there.
5. Mark every lesson done the same day
This is the one habit that matters most.
After you finish teaching, open the lesson and mark it done. The Chinese button is 打卡 (mark a lesson done). Do it on the same day, before you go home.
Not marked means not paid
A lesson that is not marked done is not counted for your pay, and it does not reduce the student remaining hours. To the system, that lesson never happened. If you forget for a week, your pay for that week will be wrong and the student will look like they still have hours they already used.
A simple rule: last student leaves, phone comes out, lesson marked done. Every time.
Leave a note for the next teacher
Each lesson has a note field. Write one or two short lines after class. For example: what page you finished, what the student found hard, what to review next time.
Classes get covered by other teachers. Students change teacher. Your note is what makes the next lesson good instead of a fresh start. Keep it factual and professional, because office staff can read it too.
Check your pay and confirm it
Your own pay page shows the lessons counted for you and the total. Open it before payday and check that the lesson count matches what you actually taught. This is why marking lessons done on time matters.
After the school pays you, open the pay record and press the button that confirms you received the money.
Why confirm
Confirming records proof for both sides. You have a record that you were paid, and the school has a record that the payment was accepted. It removes arguments months later. It takes two seconds.
If a number looks wrong
Do not try to correct it yourself. Do not delete or re-create lessons to make the total look right, because that damages the student hour balance and the accounts.
- Take a screenshot of the screen showing the wrong number.
- Send it to the office.
- Say briefly what you expected instead, for example the date and the student.
The office has the tools to fix it properly and can check it against the other records. Your part is to report it early.
