Vancouver Language Centre in Guadalajara. I worked with them a couple of years ago. What have you heard recently. I heard they went through some management changes. News.....I'm listening.

Good to know you're alive man.

Yeah, I've heard a few bits and pieces about VLC since I left as well. Don't want to post it here though. If you read this, drop me a line by email.

So how's Colombia treating you?

Truthfully, the last thing I want to do is bad mouth VLC. When I was there I worked with a collection of amazing teachers and had the best students you could possible ask for. It was a great experience being able to watch the student's progress and develope long lasting relationships in the process.

Having said that, I think it was such a great experience because of the teachers I worked with and the students, not because of the administration. It just came down to priorities (the administration's to make money, the teachers to teach).

Yeah, I've got a ton of stories I could tell, but I just don't think this is the forum to do it. From what I've heard, some changes have occurred at VLC within the administration, and I don't think posting past grievances does anyone any good.

However, if you were a a former VLC teacher I'd love to swap stories and maybe catch up with old friends, just drop me an email. And if you're thinking about working at VLC feel free to write me.

seriously,
