Nile Academy Reviews

Pros

Leaving the school was the only pro of my experience

Cons

This school needs to be shut down. If you are a woman working at the school, you will be blamed for everything you do. Students will get away with bad behaviour. You get no admin support and you end up paying out of your own pocket to pay for resources.

Pros

Other new teachers became friends

Cons

At the boys’ school, female teachers faced daily sexual, verbal, and emotional harassment from the students and the management victim-blamed them and told them to “wear longer skirts” (longer than knee-length). Male teachers are respected and are allowed to get away with behaviour (yelling at students) that the women were swiftly penalized for. Toxic environment for women -avoid!!

Pros

Very friendly environment, everybody are helping each other. Administration take care all staff.

Cons

Overload and carrying multiple job titles and functions on one persons shoulder is making it hard to work.

Pros

Very friendly environment. Administration is very suportive, and will try everything to help you out along the way.

Cons

Some students are new to English and it can be challenging at times to communicate or teach.

Pros

I am part of the administration at Nile Academy. I have had a wonderful experience with this school. The staff is supportive and understanding. These are the best hours I have had at a full-time job. Some of the students can at times be taxing on ones patience but I suppose that would be the case at any school. Overall though the students here are polite and well-behaved. They make the work here fulfilling. The team of teachers and management is a pleasure to work with. Some of them have been with the Academy for years. I have seen teachers go well beyond their call of duty in order to better assist the students.

Cons

The pay could always be better. Even though there aren't the usual benefits of healthcare and such the management is very understanding and tries to help as much as possible.
