I have been offered a job in one of their centres, they have a few around Hong Kong. I have been searching for some information on them but to no avail.

I have found a couple of bad reviews but they seem to be very over the top to be taken seriously. ( one reviewer stated the centre was a cover for a paedophile ring and all the staff were druggies and none of them were qualified).

When I was interviewed they asked for my experience and what qualifications I had which seems like something a reputable company would do. I was contacted by a recruiter as I put my CV on a site. Also has anyone heard of the recruiter prime teachers? As that is who contacted me.

I'm hoping somebody on here has worked for them and they can give me some info.

I've heard of the place and can only say that much.

But think long term. Do you really want to have a school called Monkey Tree English Learning Center on your resume?

I have other schools on my resume from when I have worked in Europe. So I doubt one school with a silly name will really matter.

I just want to know if the centre and the recruiting agency are legitimate. This opprtunity ( which I hope it is) has popped up and as I have no experience with Asia I was hoping someone on here would be able to give me some helpful information.
