Hastily declining in quality - Foreign Language Teacher Amslink Employee Review

Amslink is very welcoming in the beginning and provides great training. You have at least 1 Vietnamese teaching assistant with you in every class to help with translating, behavior issues, and tech support. They try to work with the teachers to give them a good schedule which I really appreciated. Also there's a lot of support for writing lesson plans. Teachers are provided with books, reference lesson plans, and a syllabus to help guide them. Makes teaching the material pretty easy.

Amslink is a for-profit English center. That often made it feel like the money was more important to them than the work or the teachers. Expect to be told you are wrong and the parent is always right. Communication was another big issue, information is given out pretty late and sometimes incorrectly. Double check your own pay, number of days off, etc to make sure the numbers are accurate. Do your research to make sure you are getting paid fairly as well. Like I said earlier, they are trying to make a profit and you may need to fight for a fair salary. Finally, Amslink does have the right to cancel classes and change your schedule whenever they want. This can be frustrating when your days off are changed or your classes are changed every few months. It makes it hard to build steady relationships with the students.

You will be in the capital city and its very easy to move around.

The salary as compared to its competitors is considered low.
