The Listings

All listings can be viewed and commented on by users. Only logged in users may post actual ratings & reviews. Users can use the "Compare" option to compare unlimited listings side-by-side. Images may be added directly in the listings and can be commented on in the listing's image gallery.

All listings are Google mapped when available.

All listings are rated based on variables that are important for ESL teachers to make informed decisions when choosing employment, recruiting services or certification courses. These variables were chosen by ESL teachers who have been in the industry for years and are well aware of the traps and pitfalls involved when locating an ESL teaching position. For students browsing the International ESL Ratings & Reviews, what better way is there to determine the academic value of an ESL institution than to see what the teachers who are teaching you say about those same ESL institutions? Opinions are varying from good to bad to just plain ugly. Regardless, do you really want to learn English at an institution that teachers don't want to teach at? Use the International ESL Ratings & Reviews as a source to find ESL institutions and determine whether they are entities you want to work with.

We have included ESL websites as well due to the fact that there are 1,000's of them and narrowing down who provides usable content and who doesn't is becoming harder and harder to figure out. In addition, over-moderation on numerous ESL websites omits important information users need to view to make decisions about ESL entities. As a result of over-moderation or biased moderation, posts, comments and reviews are often deleted making the rest of the site's content questionable as to it's reliability and it's sources.

As Skype and online English is becoming more popular and employment opportunities are more widely available for these companies, we have also included online English entities. This is a new employment area in the ESL industry and it is important to insure the validity of these companies. Priority one, for ESL teachers, will be salary payment. As you do not have to leave home to provide ESL services it is fair to say that payment of these services will be either good or bad. We can't find a real in-between circumstance here.

IF YOU DO NOT SEE AN ESL LISTING IN OUR DATABASE, DEMAND THEM TO ADD IT.
