Hi everyone, I live in Toronto and was recently offered a job by a school in Poza Rica, Veracruz called ABC English and I have no way of knowing whether all the things that the director, or so called director, i don't know, said is actually true or even if the school actually exists.

I was hoping someone on this forum might have had an experience of some sort with ABC English or has at least heard something about it.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

why don't you ask the director for some email addresses of former/current teachers, they often provide fair info, and if the director says no, well then maybe it's a warning sign.

I applied to the school several months ago, when they were accepting teachers with no experience. I emailed a couple of teachers; it sounded okay: they provide accommodation near the school; you'll spend some time working in companies; the place is nothing to look at (my Footstep guide to the town says the only thing interesting is the surfeit of dentists); the students are nice. One teacher warned me there a bit slow getting you an FM3, very slow in fact.

I've been watching the ads for a few months. They've been looking for teachers with 4 years experience for a while, then they reduced it to 2 years with no change to the hourly rate. Interpret that how you will.
