Pros

You meet lovely students to teach

Cons

I honestly do not know where to start how explaining how bad my experience was with this company due to how much of a conman the boss is.I took this job and had already saw the bad reviews on this company and thought to just risk it anyways as I wanted some self development within my teaching.Firstly I got an employment offer and everything that was offered to me was not written or in my actual contract.You are promised many things in this job but please listen and do not be fooled as it's all lies.The wage isn't even worth any of the work as you get told the taxis get paid for when really it comes out your own pocket.The boss makes up his own calculations for the salary and consistently under pays and the reason I left this company was because he withheld some of my wage which is illegal and after doing the whole calculation on my hours he still was under paying me.I moved to this country to work a whole month to not be paid half my salary and he still has not paid me my remaining.There is also a lot of other issues with this boss as he comes across as very nice although when you make any simple little mistake he turns into a very horrible person eventhough he doesn't even provide training for his staff.All I can say is please do not be me and take the risk and be put in the situation he has put me in.He is a sales man and could not care about any of the students or his own teachers who put the effort into this school all he cares about is money in his own pocket as he even tricked me when I was rushing to a home base and got me to sign my contract at a lower rate that was offered.BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT TAKE A JOB HERE !

Pros

The workplace has changed for the better in so many ways. Communication, morale and team spirit. Opportunities for staff progression have been implemented, and there is a real sense of togetherness. Teachers are actually being listened to and valued.

Cons

It can be challenging during busy season but we are paid according to hours worked so it's time well spent

Pros

You get to teach, meet and become friends with students from all over the world.

Cons

Sadly, the atmosphere is toxic. Despite giving 100% effort, the owner will set out to destroy you. Students advised they gave great feedback about you to reception staff but in return you hear nothing positive from the owner just constant criticism and made to feel worthless due to his attitude and nasty persona. Do not expect to be paid on time or paid correctly either. Any reasonable questions you ask will be met with patronising, condescending remarks that are personal and unreasonable. No shows, cancellations and travel time are also not paid for which can cut your day and wage in half so you never make what you were advised you would make, it’s just to trap you. Best to avoid this place or if you do work here, best to avoid the owner. A lot of home visits can also put you in uncomfortable settings where you are treated badly by the families but there is no duty of care given by this school.
