 |
|
| Just wondering...? I mean, we all have a story to tell about a bad experience at a language school or we have at least heard those stories being told. Now, what I want to know is this: Are there any language schools that any of you guys recommend working for? Be it a chain school or an independent business. What are the good points and what are the bad? |

Good plan. A little liquid courage does loosen the lips after all.
I'd be willing to talk shop at the get together, but plugging language schools here isn't something I like to do. There are good places to work...many. |

No of course not, but a white list would be good. Just names and contact info for reputable schools... |

| OK, I'll begin the list with the one school I work for. It's doesn't hold classes in a fixed location, just sends you around the city for business classes at companies and private classes in people's homes. Michael Bond, the owner, still teaches, which I think accounts for his sensitivity to the needs of both teachers and students. His company is called Global Visions Consulting; the email is [email protected] . |

| And another is Continental English Systems (CES). She cuts you a check then and there, without hesitation, on payday. Very good company as well to work for and I work for both Global Vision and CES |

| Wall Street Institute pays OK for part-time ($ 6,000 MXN). Work is 5 hours per-day, from 7/8am to 1/2pm or 4pm to 9pm M-F. Plus every other Saturday for 6 hours, 8am-2pm. The pay is a salary and you don�t get docked if you don�t teach a full five hours per day. They will get you a FM-3 and pay for it. You can apply with either a degree OR a TEFL cert. They also hire non-natives with a native level of fluency. Most classes are pre-planned and very small group size. |
