Because I was somewhat of a newbie they sent me to the worst schools to teach at and giving me misleading information. Oh and I forgot to mention.

And I must say I enjoyed working there even though the pay was horrible. But I went in knowing they pay so whatever. Then out of no where they decide its ok to change my pay. Completely unprofessional. I was so disappointed as I was enjoying teaching my students. I told them I couldn't settle with the rip off of the price and they shrugged their shoulder and said, "fine". And I must say they they don't care at all for the students or anyone else for that matter. All it's about for them is the money... So I rate it poorly too. I went to work at ECC in Big C Rachadamri.

He did all the required work. I saw his lesson plans. He is a native speaker and an impressive individual. He received the lowest grade in the course and was upset for weeks. Non-native speakers including those from Eastern Europe and the Philippines were given higher marks . It seemed incredible to me. It was just an introductory course but now I recommend AUA's course rather than that of ECC. Previously, I had recommended their CELTA course to people who had degrees, were native speakers, and were interested in TESL. No more. Luckily he moved beyond this and is now successfully employed at a "B" level international school here in SEA making more than any of his former evaluators.
