I tried to contact Kogen English in Taipei today. According to their website the email address is [email protected] The email did not work. I tried emailing the webmaster at [email protected]. That failed also. I then phoned from the USA (011) 886 225 818 511, the number on the website. That did not work either.

I tried to contact Columbia Consulting in Taoyuen. The email from the website is [email protected]. It did not work. I then phoned (011) 886 4 2261 0126 which also did not go through. My cell plan does not allow me to call overseas cell phones. I doubt both schools list a cell phone as their primary phone contact.

Can you please help me and ask these schools what their email address is, or provide an alternate address for me? Thank you very much.

Dear Freebeacher,

In your post, you typed 'Kogen' for Kojen, I believe.

If you click on their 'Locations' tab, it shows a main office number, as well as info for all of their schools. Give that a try.

Columbia Consulting looks like some kind of agent.
