Anyone working or have worked for this school? Is it worth making an application? I hear they do adults and have aft/evening classes.
cheers,Have several friends there. It’s mainly IELTS test training.
I hear the guy who took over running the place can’t be trusted. Smarmy little bastard.
Place may not be open much longer as business has gone way down since the takeover. Or the seize.
The previous managers opened a rival school. Not sure the name.
Unless you’re a mature alcoholic with an attitude and lots of experience with IELTS training you’ll likely not do too well there. :s
Alcoholism a must for survival.

Shit, that’s funny! 
That’s where I work. No wonder I fit in so well.
Yeah, that’s also where I worked… until I joined AA. My newfound sober nature was greeted with scorn and ridicule - not just by staff and students (who couldn’t relate to the quivering, feeble mess that I had become), but by AA itself, who could no longer accept my sober status as an ELLC teacher. So, I started binging on ice cream and chocolate. The massive sugar rush gave me the confidence to leave both ELLC and AA, and move on to broader pastures.
“Hi” to everyone at ELLC. I really do miss the place! For all its foibles and quirks (actually, maybe they were just my foibles and quirks), ELLC has a wonderful working environment and is filled with many great personalities; it also has a good purpose. The centre is now owned by a westerner who cares quite a lot about what he’s doing.
Cheers,

Yes, there’s a new owner who has replaced the one that Alien mentioned; it’s now run by an English chap called Gary who is really friendly, easygoing, and fond of the occasional sip. The atmosphere at the school is great; both the office staff and the teachers are very nice.
