Pros

It was an unforgettable experience and I met different people from other schools. I hope this kind of event could be more held in the furture. Everything was perfect.

Cons

The organiser might need to contact the participants one day in advance in case some people forgot their registration for this event.

Overall Work Experience at EF

Pros

The work schedule works out perfectly for me. My weekends are on work days and a lot of places are not crowded. Also, I really enjoy teaching adults and seeing them progress in their English study. I have also met a lot of interesting students and teachers with a wide range of experiences.

Cons

Sometimes the students expect too much from you and seem to think that the courses are a magic pill. Like I mentioned above, I have stayed for a long time mostly because of the people (students and staff) and not really for the benefits and compensation.
