You are the one being vindictive. Addie has in none of her posts been calling people names like you, "john", or tulay herself has. I'm very sorry anyone had to work with you. I am amazed we belong in the same species, since you don't seem to know how to behave like a human being. Once upon a time I was also an ideal, naive young guy who wanted to travel and work in other countries while putting hope in my mind that the people I would be working with would have already been in my shoes and they would be willing to host and show me a whole new world. Sadly I found out the ESL world is just as cutthroat if not more than the worlds of business and even politics. The reason is because there are way too many [edited] as well as destroying the confidence of younger people whom you take advantage of work in this business. [edited].

This "john" could be tulay's hubby or tulay herself. Of course he/she will not analyze what you just said properly. It's in their best interests to lie and cheat by accusing you of being the incompetent one when in fact the opposite is true!
Pretend "schools" like these LOVE the fact that they can get away with breaking the law by illegally employing young people who like to travel and see the world. They love it even more when their fellow monkey compadres jump in and accuse the young people of leaving a bad working situation by accusing them of all sorts of things. Living and behaving like asses is an essential part of the existence of these illegal business owners.

I can answer yes to all of your questions.
Yes, I have taught English as a foreign language in Seoul, Korea.
Yes, I have been to P.A.
So I am not blindly defending my friend. I know what the set up is.
And why can't I come onto this site?

John, are you a teacher? If not, what brought you to this site in the first place? It seems odd to me that a bunch of "friends" of Tulay are suddenly popping up to defend her reputation. Have you ever been to La Petite Academy? If not, then I suggest listening to all the facts before blindly defending your "dear friend" and denouncing those who are merely trying to warn other teachers about a bad job experience.

Banana Joe (what a professional name!)
Is that because you are completely slippery?
Do you know Tulay? Have you had any business with her? If you have, then you have a right to comment. If not, take your slanderous comments elsewhere.

That is just crazy...and working for EF in HANGZHOU...like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire?!¬
If you compare it with working for Mrs. Pitbull at l'Academie de Stupidité in Bougival, EF Hangzhou may appear as a paradise to newbies.
They will soon find out that neither place is a good one to go to...
Learning never ends!...hahaha

Sorry for the Chinese children who will inherit people who couldn't last a week with such an amazing employer!!
Yes, this "employer" is amazingly unprofessional, and anyone defending this is highly unprofessional as well!
Rubbish pretend "schools", useless "teachers ....rubbish meets rubbish and sit at the same table!
Typical in the crappy world of ESL!

Dear Valerie and Addie,
I'm most disturbed to read this comment. For you to last only a week with Mrs Tulay Farra you must be really useless and not in the right area of work..... Sorry to say. I worked for this lady for 2 years. She was the most adorable employer who cared for me and my career. The children she has in her school come to her knowing her loving, caring and generous character. She doesn't do any advertising for her schools and yet she's extremely successful. She does everything by the book. My colleague C[edited] whom I met when I was working for Mrs Farra has also stayed for 2 years and 3 months. We both work in Paris right now and the only reason we left La Petite Academy was to live in central Paris. C[edited[ and I would be very happy to talk to any future applicants about our magnificent experience. Sorry for the Chinese children who will inherit people who couldn't last a week with such an amazing employer!!
