Hi. Where are good places online to look for summer school advertisements other then TEFL.com?

Noo, tefl.com is the best of the bunch by far I'm afraid. The Guardian on Tuesdays is worth a try but it is becoming a very poor second. Larger schools often advertise on their own websites, or if you know of a school you quite like, you could approach them direct. I would recommend the ISIS group, ISIS Brighton School of English, and ISIS Greenwich school of English - both excellent places to work, as is Select English/St Andrews in Cambridge ( at least it was when I worked there). Avoid East London School of English (the owner is a complete...., in my opinion, of course), Concorde (couldn't organise a p... -up in a brewery, so the saying goes), and Camp Beaumont (don't touch them with a barge pole). All this is only my opinion, but I do think my views are well founded on this point!!! Laughing

I'm going to have to disagree with you about ISIS:

They are basically a travel agency, and the camp I saw was the worst-organized disaster I've ever had the misfortune to be a part of.

My advice is to find a real English school, not a travel agency trying to make a buck on the Englsih circut
