Bell Education and King Saud University

Run!  Run like the wind!

Bad rep for not taking care of their teachers.  Bell is in it for the money...and take advantage of their teachers.

Considering the state of things, if I were an EFL instructor (I am an instructor and trainer) looking for work, I would give the KSA a pass these days.

Situations are getting worse, salaries are coming down and benefits are starting to dry up.

Look elsewhere.

Good luck.

Thanks a million Mister Stretch,
I had just turned down AETG, another horror story apparently.  The same seems to apply for most of the others I have seen on the forums.  I think I will follow your advice and stay clear of KSA.  I am currently in North Carolina teaching part time at a local community college and thought the Middle East would be an exciting ,and possibly lucrative,option.  However, after all the horror stories I think I'll stay State side for now. 
Thanks for the help.

MidEast is still possible...think United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait or Asia...still lots of work there, as well.

Get out...see something of the world.

Hey Misterstretch,

Any recommendations on countries in the Middle East to try. I do feel like getting out and seeing more of the world.

Hmmm...re-read my post...there are some there.

Will do, thanks.

Accdg to the KSA discn bd of daveseslcafe dot com: Bell & King Saud uni = bad, bad news re working conditions! But check out daves' int'l jobs for other (better) ESL teaching jobs in Saudi. Sent u a PM.

Thanks Jeddaa, got the PM, thanks a lot.  I really appreciate your help.  Happy teaching and enjoy.  If I get there I'll let you know.
