I worked at ACL in the Rocks in 2000. It wasn't a bad place back then but I don't know about now. They also have (had?) various centres around Sydney where they teach the Adult Migrant English Program.
The school on Pitt St (behind the Hilton) isn't a bad one to do a bit of casual work. I forget the name. Same with La Lingua on Castlereigh St.
GEOS/St Marks have got a school in Bondi and another one opposite La Lingua. A friend who worked at the Bondi school liked it there. |

I've worked at two great ones and two terrible ones. It all depends on the mix of students and the DoS.
I don't want to badmouth the bad ones because things can change with a change in management or clientele.
My tip, get some relief work and check out the morale in the staff room and enquire about the staff turnover. Also, pick a college that includes a lot of 'activity' days as the students are generally happier. Don't go to a college which is dominated by students from the same source. |
