Working hours · converted to your time
What time would you teach?
Pay per hour means little if the hours fall in the middle of your night. Pick where you live. We convert each programme’s published peak window into your time and say what it means for sleep. Where a programme publishes no times, we say so. Programmes that have ended are not on this page.
Daylight saving moves these windows. Of the three market clocks, only New York moves. Beijing and Kolkata stay put all year. If your own city moves its clocks, your converted times move too. Check the programme’s own page before you plan around an hour.

How we built this
We read each programme’s region, audience and hours field. Only two programmes publish clock times. The rest sit in the second table with their hours quoted as published. Conversion runs in your browser from its own clock data. Nothing leaves your browser.
A peak window is when students book most. It is not a rota. Figures are checked on the date shown; automatic updates are not running.
Frequently asked questions
Why do most programmes say the peak window is unknown?
Most programmes publish phrases like “flexible hours” or “EU peak hours” with no clock times. We do not guess. Where no times are published, the page says we do not know.
Do the converted times shift with daylight saving?
Yes. Of the three market clocks, only New York moves. Beijing and Kolkata remain the same all year. If your own city moves its clocks, your converted times move too.
Is a peak window a shift I must work in full?
No. A peak window is when students book most. It is not a rota.
