I read these names in an advert wanting EFL teachers. I was put off by the advert. Firstly I felt that the level of English was not good enough for a company in education and travel. Sure people make mistakes in communication, but there were so many as to make me suspicious. Secondly, from my up to date knowledge of terms of contract regarding teaching (including Turkey), I didn't think it was so great! Of course I could be wrong, but on reading it on two occasions.

I cam across their website a few months ago. I also got the same impression. My instinct would be to stay away. Like Ossie said, there were too many mistakes to take the place seriously.

Here's the link:

Looks dodgy to me too. Stay well away.
