Anyone worked for them?

Would like to know something about them - besides the little information I found on google.

Thanks.

'I Love to Read', 'I Can Read' and 'Morris Allen Study centres' are all the same organisation; I think. It would be good to hear of people's experience with Morris Allen Study centres. I know rents are very high in Singapore and that organisations underpay when infact the cost of living in Singapore is very high. Anyone with the dope on Morris Allen Study centres would be much appreciated.

I know nothing about I Love to Read, but I Can Read and Morris Allen are definitely NOT run by the same organisation-in fact they are in direct opposition. From what I know, MA offers reasonable pay and conditions(support, holidays). ICR has similar pay, less support and a LOT less holidays.
Although rent is expensive, it is probably more affordable than it was 12 months ago. Teaching couples or single people willing to share apartments will manage quite well financially.

Get someone in the legal profession (either in your country or in Singapore) to check out if there is any relationship with this organisation and ICR (I Can Read). The names seem to close in similarity not to cause suspicion.

Morris Allen, as far as I know, has absolutely NO relationship with ICR.

Caveat Emptor.
