After reading how that poor teacher had been treated at Berlitz.
Stuff stolen etc.
It is interesting the rumours that go round Turkey.
One is that at Berlitz, if a student complains the teachers pay is cut in half.
(sounds like China)
The other is that if students fail to average 70% the teachers pay is cut.
I think teachers have to ask themselves - would I really like to work for an Organization that encourages anti-social behavior and theft amongst its teachers and then also has such draconian policies toward its teachers?

It is easy to make accusations on the net.

Can anyone verify this information?

Its not really about verifying accusations.
Many schools are BAD. It is important that teachers know how to avoid these schools. In that assessmen,t it is of value to consider all opinions. Schools often post; pretending to be teachers or persuade a teacher to post a positive thing on their behalf. From what I have heard and posted
(and reported to the Authorities in Istanbul) teachers should be VERY CAREFUL aout taking jobs a BERLITZ

Feel free to e-mail me
