I've noticed this company advertising and was wondering if anyone could give me any info about them?

Thanks

I don't know much personally but from what I've read on Dave's Job Info Journal- http://www.eslcafe.com/jobinfo/asia/sefer.cgi?Hong:Kong
you should really think twice about it. At least try e-mailing some of the people who wrote the postings on the Job Info Journal. There are losts of good companies out there, I wouldn't risk it with one that former teachers have gone so far out of their way to criticize. Just my two cents.

Thanks, yeah it sounds like a pretty grim place to work. Hope other people thinking of applying there take heed as well.

I also had a friend work at Children�s English Centre who actually recommended it to me. She did say that there was quite a guided curriculum which she found really helpful but I guess if you are a very experienced teacher you may find it restrictive. I�ve actually decided to apply for Sept despite all the comments on here - of course I�ll be careful to ask the right questions. I think it�s important for us all to remember that we don�t know who are posting the comments on here and I�d rather judge for myself. Have you read the comments abt Wordpower - they seem to be getting pretty nasty and sounds like a personal vendetta rather than a warning to other teachers? I�m not going to ignore what I�ve read but I�m still going to look into it myself.

Good luck to you JenB. And do tell us how you get on, maybe we can hear from someone with first-hand experience.
