Pros

Independance to teach however you like. Really easy to get a job if you're white. No need to try very hard if you're white. Wonderful place to work extra hours if you have extra free time.

Cons

Racial discrimination toward those who are not of white skin. Poor management and organization. bad curriculumn. Really just a place to waste the customers money. Lower end of salary especially if you're not white.

Pros

None that I ever experienced.

Cons

Being lied to is commonplace. They use the name American Academy, but they’re a recruitment agency. They take half your salary and leave you the other half as though they’re doing you a favor.
