• About Us

    What we do?

    ESL watch encourages positive and negative reviews on hagwons, schools, universities and recruiters.

    We also post breaking news as it happens; changes in legislation, education, turmoil, scams and other events that affect you when heading abroad to teach.

    What you can do?

    Did you have an unpleasant experience with a school or are you sure that some recruiter or someone ripped you off or, perhaps, you just want to warn others about a crazy scam that occurred in your neighborhood?

    Just post your complaint on ESLwatch.info! It'll take you just a few minutes to warn others about any crooked activity of a person, recruiter or school, so no one will fall into their trap again.

    We also require positive articles, so have you had a good experience with your school or recruiter? Had the time of your life in your selected country, have titbits or information note worthy for this site? Then please take the time to post here and share your experience with the community. 

    Help other people to become better educated before they make 'the biggest decision of their life'.
