There was a new ADOS recently and he is great- really supportive of the teachers. The work week is no more than 20 teaching hours a week with half days on Fridays and NO weekend work, unless you choose to do private tuition. There has been a lot of teacher turnover in the past, but there is a good core group now, with lots of mutual friendship and helpfulness. Yes the accomodations are far outside of KL, but very close to the train and in an area with a beautiful park with a lake. The condo itself where teachers stay has a tennis court, huge swimming pool, little restaurant and a convenience store, plus a little workout gym. The only bad thing is that accomodations must be shared with one other person- and that flat mate can make or break this whole experience. Limkokwing, where we actually teach is full of very creative, artistic students from all continents on the planet and the students are delightful. The pay is not great, but enough, and at least they due pay, unlike my prior job in Thailand that found all sorts of excuses to rob you of your paycheck.
