Can anyone tell me some of the better Adult Only (he he) institutes in Taipei? I've had enough of teaching children!

I know of Wallstreet and Global Village but would like some opinions of these and others.

You can be brutal - I've been here for over a year so I've heard most of the gory stories already!

I love working here as does, seemingly, everyone else.

I would say that I appreciate the professionalism the most. Everyone is friendly, the students are inspired and the "work" is effortless, actually enjoyable. I have worked at all levels of teaching, from yo-yo ban to adults. I have plenty to compare Wall Street with. If they'll have me, I'll be there for years.

Indeed I'd rather choose my own materials



If this is truly the case, you wouldn't like Wall Street. One thing about it is it does have it's own curriculum. Fortunately, it's brilliant and quite easy to teach.

Well if the materials are good to begin with then it's not an issue. I've worked with so many substandard books in the last 2 and a half years. I've also had directors change from perfectly good books to terrible ones against my wishes while I was the head teacher at the school. Frustrating.
