I recently saw an opportunity on another job board at this school. I am wondering what its current reputation is like now with foreign teachers?
Good, bad, or ugly?
Thanks. |

It's a big language factory.
And getting bigger.
I worked there for a year, and then found much better conditions, elsewhere.
VUS constantly pressures teachers to work enormous hours on Saturdays and Sundays.
The pressure is applied by telling teachers to work 10-hour Sundays or they'll have their hours cut, or not get other hours they want. And this is after a 7 hour Saturday.
Ten teaching hours in a single day is ridiculous.
It's all about filling seats.
If you have experience, you'll find much better.
You'll also find some dignity, which teachers at VUS do not have.
