I'm thinking of going for an interview with these boys (David's English Center ). Has anybody anything good or bad to say about them?

David's English Center is franchise/chain school. They have been around for about six years. I have three reports on them. All confirmed, only one of which is public access but positive in nature. The other reports are negative but pretty bland in comparison to other chain schools.

They pay between 500 to 600 an hour or less if you are on a salary.
I don't have much research on them which can generally be construed as a good thing considering the number of schools they have.
I give them a 5 out of 10 rating.
Good luck.

had an interview yesterday at the hsinchou branch. they are outside of the big science park there and seem like a serious business. they also have younger students as well as adults. they were looking for someone more qualified than me. the young woman who manages the place looked at the empty section of my application, where my teaching experience should have been listed, like it was a bottomless pit. i've heard good things about them from people who have been here for awhile, but as you will have read you can't generalize when it comes to a chain
