Mellow course takers is one thing, sound methodology another. Praising or criticizing a school one should provide more details than what you have offered. The "20-25 classes per week" seems a handful of work for a real teacher who usually gets 10-15 lessons weekly.

For the sake of all FTs reading on the board, would you be kind enough to shed light on how the school expects FTs to participate in the students academic development, how it supports its foreign employees and what techniques it uses to evaluate them? Moreover, can you enlighten all on what course structure and material the chain uses, or expects FTs to work with, so that we know why the franchised centers are to be reckoned with as "the best" in the game?

Last but not least, private centers may have all sorts of walk-ins that may be at quite different level of English and perhaps in another age group, and so they may divide those clients into varieties of courses/classes. Anyone interested to read about schools like this one should know how Web International separates its students into classes that FTs teach. I don't think a FT should just have to deal with nice but also with capable students to learn the academic program to be given.

In the end, teaching is a difficult profession which may be corrupt by money and/or demands. Having a job is one thing, doing it is another.
