You should clear about 11 euros an hour. That might hold you over till you find a real teaching job.

Wall Street in my experience are just slick businessmen in suits and beneath all the clever marketing are basically cowboys. They regularly go bust around Europe (many recently in Spain and a few in France - Lyon, Paris, Rouen). Avoid them like the plague.

Although I've never worked in one myself, I've yet to meet a former WS employee with a good word to say about them. I love their marketing on the metro: "98% pass rate" i.e. our own internal test.

Calling Wall Street an 'Institute' is like calling McDonalds a 'RESTAURANT.'

I see from their ads on the metro that you can take their diagnostic test absolutely FREE and without committing to a course. Now that's what I call a special offer!!!

Does this mean WSI are now borrowing marketing techniques from the Scientologists and the Hare Krishnas?

No, they are way better then Scientologists or 'would you like a free book' Krishnas. They don't call student's limited time with a teacher a lesson - it's an 'encounter.' Really.

So they only pay 11 euros an hour, but you get to have "encounters" with the students? Shocked On company time or your own? Wink
