Hi;

I'm considering taking employment with this organization, has anybody had any experience with them? If so, would you recommend it or not? Any pitfalls I need be aware of?

thanks in advance!

I recently looked at one of their contracts. If you search these boards you will find that opinions differ because some of the franchises treat staff well and some don't. As a full-time teacher here in Oz, I can say that you will need a strong voicebox to physically cope with the number of hours they require you to be in front of a class.

I have emailed teachers who have worked at two of the EF schools. One gave a glowing report but said the "compulsory" overtime hours were too long. The other gave a nightmare report As I said - different franchises. All the best.

Let us know which franchise has offered you a contract, and we can help you.

Some are horrible, some are survivable.

I've had many friends who worked for these people. I have never heard a 'glow' story; they've ALL been nightmares.

Multi-city private english school chains, in general, suck. Don't go there.
