A thematic approach was used to analyze the data gathered. It was found out that teachers encountered varied experiences including stress, burnout, and job fatigue, unpreparedness and failure to deliver desired competency, class interruption, and time-consuming. It was also found out that teachers encountered challenges including stress, additional workload, and multitasking, lack of sleep, and beating deadlines. It was also found out that teachers developed coping strategies to alleviate stress and pressure within the field of work such as accepting challenges and becoming flexible, giving oneself a break, time management, passion for teaching, and self-care.
