I am writing to warn you about the employer - the kids are great, and so are the workers, but the employer is terrible.

I worked in Taiwan, and Greece, and have never ever crossed such a person.

Did i enjoy my work? - NO NO NO NO - Mr Lee Sei Woo is the rudest person i ever known. Lee will treat you the same - believe me- he doesn't understand reason, and he doesn't care for any one expect the money you can bring to his pocket.

Lee will treat you like garbage, just like he treated all the others before me - there were 2 Philiphinoes and one American girl this year only - they all left - only because of him, and only him.

Be carefull - keep notes of everything, check all your payments in front of him, and let him sign at the amount.

He also kept my passport - for 3 weeks - take care, he will keep yours in order to make sure you stay.

Try your own way - but Mr Lee will tell you if there is problems he watch you like a hawk using his video camera, or questioning the children mid class.

In the end, I just took the money and ran after 3 weeks.

Looking at your grammar and sytax, it's no wonder he fired you. My guess is that you were working illegally and are not a native English speaker. Of course he screwed you.

I was tired.

I now work for a nice employer now, who is respectfull and gave my passport back after the ARC came.

Thanks for the kind comments, I edited it again.

This is the same school that I am currently having trouble with.
Which would make me #5 in 12 months.

I can confirm everything that she's just said and some - I was forbidden from disciplining the students [time out, after a warning], but I was not allowed to give them rewards - no candy, no games, nothing.

I was not enrolled in the Pension/Health - a complaint which was resolved.
He's refusing to pay my last wages - a labor dispute.
He's not paid my taxes - a complaint that will be lodged this week [as soon as I get the pension monies moved to the office...].

Now I am holed up in the apartment, which I will not clear until he gives me my money!!!!

I understand that he's been advertising for workers, which I assume is the reason for the warning.

DO NOT WORK THERE!!!!
