Hi... I keep seeing ads on DR1 for teaching positions for Language for Life. I am looking for work for when I return to the DR, and I am curious about them.
A few years ago, when I lived there, I applied for a position with an "English" school starting up in Santo Domingo that was supposedly a South American company (I think), whose name I no longer recall. The teachers were to go through trainings and teach a mulititude of classes, but as the training day progressed, the whole affair smacked of a scam operation, with everyone involved (including teachers) being asked to purchase very expensive books and language tapes. I am hoping that Language for Life is NOT that company, but rather a legitimate and honest school for which I could feel comfortable applying.
Does anybody know details or experiences? I really love teaching, and I am looking forward to doing so again, but I want assurance that the organization is honest.
Thanks for any info!
