Not direct, and not too recent. A friend of mine worked there 2-3 years back. They worked him like a dog. They gave him all the writing classes instead of spreading them out among the teachers. He was working 50 hours a week just to keep up. I think he lasted 3 months.

Thanks for the info RED.
They mentioned 40 hour per week and 25-30 contact hours... Don't think I would last 3 months with them!
Let's see if anyone has any recent info about them. |

Pay is around 18K a month plus. No accommodation.
Lots of teachers from the Philippines.
A lot of teaching hours, but teachers find ways to cut corners.
Large number of expat staff.
Not a bad option.
BUT be prepared to work hard and do a lot of marking on your Saturdays. |
