I have an interview with the Kuala Lumpur branch of the I Can Read franchise but I can't find any reviews of the company. I have found information about the Singapore branches only.

Any information would be greatly appreciated Smile

I've only heard negative reviews about Singapore. I'd imagine Malaysia would be similar.

Exactly. Go to the Singapore page and you will see plenty on 'I Can Read'. None of it good.

They are in the habit of giving out two-year contracts for which they only intend you to serve three months. Although they offer a real nice S$4500 a month, you only get S$3,500 during your "probation" period. Time comes to start paying you the agreed upon amount they look for an excuse to be rid of you. I know several expats who have been chewed up and spit out in this way.


Hmmm ... I can see how this spider could be playing right into the fly's hands, for the forewarned (and four-winged), crafty fly who's in the immediate neighborhood anyway (making relocation costs minimal) ... 3500 SGD a month is not bad at all. Of course, if you are qualified for proper international school jobs, by all means, stay away. I wonder what their (ICR) minimum qualifications are?
