I teach at a national plus senior high school. All too often students tell me how they are attending this or that language school for extra classes, and frankly I want to tell them to stop wasting their money because I can see no improvement at all in their English grades.
An exception to this is 'Student X', a fairly average 17 year old boy whose English grades have gone from just average to excellent over the last year. He studies at ILP Bintaro. I don't know what this school is like as an employer, but someone there certainly knows how to teach English.
Anyone have good or bad feedback from students on 3rd party course providers? |

This may be due to the fact that most kids turn up to class exhausted after a day of school, being forced to go to extra English classes - also when they arrive, they are usually lazy, disrespectful, rude and impolite. If you can wrestle the magazines and cellphones away from them, and superglue the kids into their seats, it may be possible to help them improve their English ability. However, none of this is any good if the teachers are drunk or high, or simply employed by EF. |

ILP was a very good school, 5 years ago; since that time they have cut classes from 54hr. to 42 in an effort to make more, however they did have some very good Teachers. the bula's were pused out by an aus who hated menand is well knowen around Java.
Sadly, another good school on the road down... |
