Pros

EF is a great organization to work with to develop intercultural communications skills and learn from the "ground floor" I honed my training skills there as a teacher of English.

Cons

Lessons can be rather restrictive in content, allowing for little "official" expansion. However, creativity is encouraged and extra-curricula activities can amply supplement the class activities. Extra-curriculum is usually on your own time though.

Pros

You get to choose your tour and recruit the students you want to bring. The paid chaperone ratio is 6:1, so it is very manageable. The tours are great and the local experts are wonderful.

Cons

Company support is variable. There is high turnover and new consultants are very sales motivated and don't always get the nuances of your school or community group. I have had some WONDERFUL concusltants, but they have always been promoted before I get to work with them again.
