Has anyone heard of this school or worked for them?

Looking for pros/cons about the school, thinking about working there.

Thanks so much!

I've never heard of it, but I would definately ask the story behind the name.

As long as the coyote isn't laughing at you... interesting to have on your resume.

Before accepting a job at this (or any) school, especially one without a known reputation, it's useful to ask to talk or write to current or past teachers. If they don't want to give out this information, that could be a clue that it's not a great place to work.

My new roomate here in Guadalajara worked with them in Tepic.
Apparently, they are horrible. The director is a horrible lady who exploits teachers and tells lies to recruit people then abuses them. He worked there for a month which they never paid him for because they kept making excuses why they didn't have him money ready. he finally did the right thing and dropped them like a hot potato.

I'd stay away if I were you.

This is in response to the man who has the roomate in Guadalajara. I am a teacher at this school and have been for 3 years. I know who this teacher is. Firstly, I have always been paid on time and have been treated very well. This school trains teachers one month before starting classes. It is required for unqualified teacher like this one. He had zero experience and had only worked as a cook in a taco stand. In his contract the same as mine and 5 other teachers. All of whom the school will be willing to give their emails to prospective teachers states that the training is not paid for but a room will be provided during this time. The training is free. Upon completion of your 1 year contract you recieve your TEFL Cert. If you do not complete your contract then you are required to pay for the training. MOD EDIT

Whoa!!

Sorry, but you need to rethink what you posted, and consider deleting it. A little digging around in Google shows that you are the Director/Recruiter of this establishment and are related to the family that owns it. Your advertising for teachers with an email address of "I'm Baby JJ" kind of outs you instantly.
