Stay away from this company! - Recensione dipendente - English Teacher presso EOK

Free lunch and free transport from MK to WC

Harsh boss Long working hours The Boss should die of diabetes and heart attack He has a twisted view on education

- Free lunch and snacks - Generally relaxed working environment - Generally flexible hours (6 days work week) - Attractive income (longer- term)

- A lack of genuine autonomy as a teacher: expect a degree of micro-management in teaching method and interaction style with kids (way of communication, tone, and voice, etc.); instructors (how EOK call their ‘teachers’ – more like computer assistants, in my opinion) are expected to adhere fully to the EOK method of 100% computer program reliant teaching - Highly formalistic teaching environment: offering individual attention to a single kid for more than 5 minutes is discouraged; instructors are made to move constantly between different computers servicing different programs at the same time, whilst kids are made to sit in front of a screen drilling program non-stop for more than an hour - Lukewarm company culture: high turnover rate – a possibility of getting terminated suddenly at the end of the first month; do not expect much interaction between management and staff; will not recommend to those who prioritise community growth and interpersonal flourishment - Overall a systematic tutoring center that does the minimal to nurture bona fide education, but will be perfect for those who wish to earn an attractive income (longer-term) perpetuating a highly result-orientated/commercial (‘spoon-feeding’, some may say) tutoring system
