Hey,
Has anyone worked for this chain of schools (Sarasas)? If so, how was your experience? |

Hello there,
Sarasas schools are one of the best places to teach English in Bangkok. Salaries and benefits are excellent and they also gve you a free lunch.  |

Sarasas is considered above average in the quality of their education.

I've heard absolutely dreadful things about their administration and the types of teachers they hire. Also you have do deal with a TON of BS (more so than most schools).
I interviewed at one and the vibe I got was very odd. |

Hmmm, interesting bansheebeat.... definitely good to know. I will certainly try to feel out the place before I jump into anything with them.
Could you be more specific on the extra BS that comes along with working at one of these schools? |

Whenever I interviewed at Sarasas I also asked for opinions on several other forums and the overwhelming response was "run away and don't consider them". If you do a bit of Googling you'll find the same answers I think. |

That could be true for every single school in Thailand, unless of course you want to work in Thailand.
If I remember correctly Sarasas paid teachers a little bit monthly for downtime during the floods a few years back. My school did not. |

Sarasas advertises for teachers on many EFL websites...they are better than most schools in Thailand. Many Thai schools want farang English teachers to behave, act and teach like Thais in the classroom...but Sarasas expects its native English speaking teachers to teach using different methodologies in teaching students...and they focus on student centred learning and professional development.. .  |
