Hi all, what have you heard about English for Asia? Are they a decent lot to work for?

[Perilla]

Unless they've gone downhill, yes, quite a good outfit to work for. I've known a few who worked for them over the years, but not recently. As I recall they have contracts with various schools, including primary and secondary schools, all over HK, and you're sent out here and there. Decent rates of pay too.

Thanks Perilla

What are the chances of teaching mostly adult classes in HK? I know it's a very "young learner" centred market...

[Perilla]

I used to teach adults only - for six years in fact. I worked for SPACE, the continuing edn wing of HKU. All the HK unis have a similar op, and adults make up most of their students. Only catch is it's mostly evening work as the students have day jobs - but it's doable.
