I have an interview with them this weekend. If you have any experience with this institution I'd greatly appreciate your thoughts and time!

I'm not sure about that particular Topia, but I have worked at a different Topia previously. From what I can gather, that Topia is not a franchise so you'll be teaching 26 - 28 classes (contracted 30). A class is usually about 50 minutes - 55 minutes. The curriculum is pretty decent (except the debate classes) though there was too much concentration on tests for my liking. The classes are highly structured so perfect if you are a noob. You should check with former teachers though. I wouldn't say it's any worse than the next place in terms of how hard you work.
