change their environment in order to take their parents death out of
their sight and mind.I am darly in need of an english teacher/efl tutor

His name is Joe Frank and he makes the same mistakes our Korean students make?
He has to hire a foreign teacher to relocate teach English as a foreign language in England?
And to two children named Peter and Jennifer?
Either he's crazy or he has something up his sleeve.
Furthermore, if he really wants someone to teach two kids whom he advertises as "nice-looking," he might get someone like Christopher Paul Neil.
And if he's promising to pay the equivalent of $5832 per month just to teach two kids, that's too good to be true.
What's the catch?
Is he going to keep charging legal fees until the applicant's bank account is drained dry?
Or is this another kind of scheme? |

Well everyone knows that Australians cannot speak any English and must receive substantial language instruction before they can dare hope to attend an English speaking school.  |

It's a scam. I've seen job ads with the same premise appear on the Internet over the years. Disregard it. |
