Good News about English Schools in Canada

Some of the best ESL English teachers in the world are Canadians and they teach English in Canada. The professional English language schools pay teachers from $25 to 45 dollars per hour, have an excellent proven curriculum, use a variety of educational materials, integrate computer CALL programs and audio-visual formats into the teaching process.

The ESL teachers are experienced, certified and have a Tesl Canada rating based on education and experience. The schools provide orientation, homestay, activities and field trips for students. Students can improve their English skills and enjoy their participation in these excellent programs. International agents earn from
3 to 15% commission from these higher quality accredited ESL English schools.

Bad News about English Schools in Canada

English schools that operate only to make profit pay the teachers $10 to 14 dollars per hour, usually have no curriculum - they just use workbook series, they do not have libraries, or computer labs or audio-visual resources.

These poor value schools have larger classes with fewer facilities and less teaching resources. Some of these schools operate un-accredited TESL programs and use inexperienced unsupervised unpaid student teachers for their programs. These sham English language schools should be avoided.

There are a large number of agency owned schools in Canada. Some large agencies from Korea, China and South America have opened "insta-schools" and place students into these "so-called exclusive private schools".

Many of these insta-schools are temporary offices that have no programs, no history of operations, unqualified management and uncertified teachers. International agents earn from 40 to 50% commission from their own sham schools. The sham English language schools should be avoided.
