The vast majority of part time hours are available at times conflicting with
eikaiwa teaching hours.

The average person does not come home from work (usually after 9 for most
eikaiwa jobs) and go straight to bed. Assuming time for dinner, unwinding,
etc.,it's  probably closer to 11 or 12 (or later). Suddenly that morning is
not so long; especially when they have to get ready for work, travel to work
and be ready to teach by about 12.
