Guys I have also worked in many EF schools and currently still o. Tornoi, Does that mean I have sold my soul? Really your comments are really low blows to teachers who are actually happy working at EF and I have to say if you think their methodologies are wrong then you aren't qualified to be a teacher. I agree very much about the ZhuHai school as I worked there before too and that particular school isn't well run. I wouldn't trust the franchisee either ever again so to Deb if you wish to work for an EF school in other cities where the franchisees are really good and run the school and give the education experience in the right way then you won't have a problem.

If you have worked for EF before and find a good school then this is should be said too and I would hate people to ridicule all of EF just because they have had a bad time in one of the smaller schools where clearly changes need to be made. I had some great friends working in that school before and the DOS at that time was amazing but got fed up with all the problems and left. Then an idiot guy from America took over and then it wasn't just the franchisee you had to worry about! You had to deal with a very inexperienced numb scull pedantic kid! I understand why people would try to blame head office for this but really and truly they try their best to support the schools as best as they can but it is up to the school itself to hire the right staff and teachers to get the job done right. When I was in Zhuhai for example the teachers although good friends wouldn't have been able to get a Z visa even if the school wanted to. They weren't qualified in any way at all not even a BA level degree and that is the biggest problem getting visas.

With every franchise that is the size of EF you are going to get some bad stories and reports however we seriously need to keep a little aware of our limited experiences in one or two schools. I guess you could say I have been lucky to have worked in only one bad school and the others have all been great. CHEERS TO ALL AS I'VE SOLD MY SOUL!!!! hahaha
