Great School - English Teacher English Solutions VIGO Employee Review

Most of the students are nice.

The negative reviews here are spot on. The manager is blatantly and obviously posting fake 5 star reviews online, and pretending that former staff members never worked there. Every fake review follows that same format, mentions the same things, in the same tone. The methodology has been poorly copied/stolen from Vaughan Schools. It's like a bad dream, an alternate reality. Staff have been forced to leave for their own sanity, many accruing debt along the way as you're never paid what is promised. I would like to go on but it would sound unrealistic about just HOW BADLY this school is run.

Classrooms are kept spotless. Other teachers are nice.

Constant lies about everything, about the hours, about the holiday pay, about the contract. Barely anything you get told in the job interview turns out to be true. There's supposedly a "bonus" for completing the year, but it's conditional on achieving completely arbitrary goals set by the manager and it seems as though he's never actually paid it out. There's someone new starting every five minutes, someone either quits or gets fired (for very dubious reasons) every couple of weeks, so it feels like there's zero job security. There's absolutely no vetting of any of these new hires either, so you'll get a classroom full of five-year-olds being cared for by a random foreigner who just landed a couple of days previously, has had no background checks done, and who speaks no Spanish whatsoever.
