My experience with Helen TEFL is that you will be forced to beg for anything and everything promised on the contract..

They will promise everything to both you AND the school to get both of you to sign a contract with them, but then fail to deliver on anything.

They try to operate more as a middleman that just a recruiter. All money and contracts go through Helen, which gives the school the opportunity to blame Helen, and then Helen just blames the school and nothing ever gets done.

I think you can learn a lot from asking that lady all sorts of questions:
However, never commit yourself to her company yet. Just keep asking questions as to what, when, where, and how she is going to set up her school.

And you will see if she is "credible" from her answers and learn her
sincerity or trustworthiness.

So don't write people off right away but use them as manuals to learn the
business you are interested being involved in.
