I'll try and make this as short as possible but it'll be difficult.

I had been working with Real English for the past 6 months and it had proved to be one of the worst experiences I have ever had. Me and another teacher were lied to about our salaries when we first arrived and it just continued to get worse from there, I'm surprised I pushed myself to continue to work with that company for 6 months. Our KITAS's were never processed and it put me and other teachers in difficult positions, especially when leaving the country to renew our ''tourist-visas''. The worst came just recently when my partner and I's house got broken into and the school wouldn't help us report to the police because I was working iliegally. If anyone has applied to this English school and has got offers to work there, I strongly suggest you re-consider your options. They sucked me in by saying in the contract they emailed that i would be paid 7 million after my probabtion period. When we arrived they said that was the old contract and that you will be only getting 5 million.

I hope people take this seriously so you dont end up in the same situation as i did. If you have any questions you can PM me or email me directly:

OK, this is the second time we have heard on this forum of peoples' lives being screwed around with by this firm. Last time it was a couple who were offered a job, booked flights and were told shortly before departure that they wouldn't get a work visa.

Clearly a bunch of crooks of the kind I had hoped had died out here years ago.

That sounds like a mess.
