We use the most effective methods and latest materials in teaching English, and provide quality service to our clients. Therefore, in 2011, we opened an IELTS Preparation Centre, which is meets the needs of IELTS exam students. Management rarely communicated with the teaching staff apart from the A.D.O.S, who never relayed any information.
Our courses for Young Learners range from Kid’s Club for the 3-6 year age group based on the Cambridge Super Safari series focusing on play and activity based learning, to Cambridge Super Minds texts for the 6-12 year olds which continue the activity based learning and also introduce the use of online and DVD ROM support materials. Whether you are a partner, a teacher or a new student, we look forward to hearing from you. Another issue was with children's groups. The school's admin is aware that this is a problem and I have noticed an attempt to inform me of changes as soon as they become aware of them.Anonymous's point that students can be placed into the wrong group can be a problem, particularly at those times of the year when the school isn't so busy or, in the case of exam classes, the student has left it too late to begin their preparation but has to do it. How did your employer manage the administration side? I don't do overtime during the week, since it's now calculated on a 4-week basis not weekly as before, but weekend overtime has almost always been paid in full immediately after the lessons have finished, which is how it should be paid according to the current contract. In addition, licensed taxis are plentiful, very reasonably priced (unless you travel in the rush hours as the price is mostly based on time taken rather than distance travelled and Moscow is known for its traffic jams!) The careers page for the Windsor English Language School can be found teflSearch is the best place to help you find work teaching English overseas. I'm not saying there haven't been admin issues - students can appear in classes without prior warning. Time off requests would take months to complete, leaving little if any time to book a cheap flight anywhere. The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a high-stakes exam for many Russians. In addition, the school's owner can be spoken to personally, if required.I have always been paid on time, except during the crisis of the Spring 2015 when some salary payments were paid late (but were paid) and the Russian staff were paid late too. Some people have higher expectations and/or are less easy-going, others have lower expectations and/or are more tolerant of shortcomings. There were many great restaurants and cafes near the school; however, the low salary made it very difficult to enjoy these social settings. Our General English courses are based on the latest edition of the National Geographic Cengage Outcomes textbook series and are well supported with online as well as print resources and are an engaging and highly regarded course. However, it must be born in mind that ESL teaching isn't a particularly well-paid occupation and Moscow's an expensive city to live in, with apartments/flats in central Moscow being even more expensive, so be aware that you may well find yourself doing overtime during your days off. The salary and total compensation were not adequate for any lifestyle in Moscow.
I believe that the school is planning to open another location which will be dedicated to children's classes during the day and adult classes in the evening, which should at least minimize the disruption in that location.Yes, I would. provide a well-rounded picture. Travel times to these companies was minimum 2 hours round trip and is not compensated for.

I can't comment on the YL training, as I haven't taught children for 3 years now, nor will I comment on the ADOS's apparel. Our. We do our best to make Windsor School a great place to study and work. These trainings lacked any coherence or cohesion, the training never felt prepared; it was as if the training consisted of whatever the YLC could remember from Google searches that were performed 20 minutes before the training began. You are an adult and will make your own choice, just be aware that this school will promise you sunshine and rainbows and after you arrive, you'll find yourself sleeping on a 60 year old sofa in a dirty Moscow region flat.Good reviews are really useful and we take them seriously. Our school is situated in the very heart of Russia, in Moscow. While I was always paid my base salary on time each month; overtime, bonuses, and reimbursements were continually late or forgotten about. Students were consistently placed into course groups based on availability and not based on the student's level of English. Our school is situated in the very heart of Russia, in Moscow.

Training is also available for certain courses and is compulsory for courses like IELTS, which the school has a very good reputation for teaching. The YLC was also responsible for trainings once per month for teachers who were responsible for teaching children. : Would you recommend this employer to someone else? Other members of "leadership" included a Young Learners Coordinator (YLC), who doesn't teach children. That's TEFL, TESL, TESOL... (pick an acronym and we've got it).We want to make finding a good teaching job easy, whether it's for a serious career or a year out.And we want schools to have access to the largest possible pool of candidates so they can find the teacher who's right for them.Come talk with us; we can share stories, advice and eat marshmallows round a campfire.You can find upgrade and status information on our Twitter.This review is a response to that posted by 'Anonymous' which I was asked by the school's management to write and was happy to agree as I do not believe it presents a fair picture of the Windsor School. However, it does have a very good public transport system, which operates from 5am to 1am, with teachers being given a Troika card which allows unlimited travel.
