OK, I know this monthly summary of the good, the bad, and the downright fuggin' ugly Tefl salaries on offer is more than a tad late already, but so what? I mean, is there any sane teacher out there who would actually consider applying for one of these dogshit jobs?Oh, right ... I see.

Anyway, let's get straight on with dishing out the honours, shall we? I mean, for starters, how many of these esteemed TEFL employers are being a shade too secretive about the attractive salaries they're offering? Ten, it appears. Clearly they're worried about being deluged with applications if they publish their generous rates of pay, so I congratulate them on making the sensible decision to merely whisper 'salary on application', or similar. Cunts.
The other usual suspects are also there, namely BBSI in Dorset, who somehow think that they'll get an experienced legal wizard to work for them for an unbelieveably miserly 19 thousand quid a year. And Berlitz in Manchester - what about them, eh?! Offering a mighty 1500 quid a month for a Senior Teacher position - baah!! Cunts the two of them.
The traditional Sandy McManus 'Golden Fuck-off Award' goes to those providers of EFL tuition who manage to pay ten quid an hour or less, and this month I shall be informing the following schools of their entry (or permanent inclusion) in the McManus Hall of Infamy - the London Empire Academy, the ABC School, London, and the Belgravia Academy, London. You lot are cunts too.

I like the Kaplan Aspect rate of £18.69 per hour. Not £18.68 or £18.70 - no, it has to be exactly £18.69.
Incidentally, I'm going to say this ONE more time in the hope that someone listens. Adrian Glazier (not Glaister/Gloster etc) worked very briefly in the - shall we say - Berkshire TEFL world and left feeling highly unimpressed. I've been in touch with him and can confirm he currently works very happily and profitably at a polo horse establishment in Croatia. He has a girlfriend who models for lingerie brochures (seriously) and they live in a restored manor house (honestly) and they drive a very old Alfa Romeo sports car. He helps to run an English language book club in his spare time. He has bought a share in a nearby vineyard. He considers himself very lucky in life, and who am I to disagree?
The point is that he has absolutely no interest any more in TEFL teaching or the various criminals who lurk around the squalid fringes of the UK EFL industry.
He cannot possibly be the 'TEFL Tradesman' blogger - only a lunatic could believe that.
I've asked Adrian to visit this site and post his memories of his Windsor days (which are hilarious, I can assure you, as I was there too) and I hope he finds time to do this.
And a happy Autumn to all.
I notice that EF, the true corporate cunts of the UK Tefl scene, have three adverts going, and all of them refuse to state the salary on offer. This is because they try to screw you down to the minimum possible, but at the same time expect you to be an utter professional.
And you should see the sort of people who work there with that policy. The teachers are mostly creeps, but the managers are a bunch of semi-alcoholic self-deluding psychos.
I left EF after just three months, but even now I still feel somehow 'contaminated'. Will I ever shake of the dreaded stigma of having sold myself to EF?!
Sandy, IH Belfast are bigger cunts than Berlitz- they're offering less for a DOS position, and the top of their pay band for the position is still less than the bottom end Malvern House are offering for an ADOS.
Paul Lowe has a new project.
See www.windsorenglish.co.uk
Wonder how much he pays his staff for this little one?
So now he offers 'Training for the armed forces' ?? Really, Paul? Training in what exactly?
Concealment and digging holes, maybe.
DOES a salmon EXPLAIN his movements to the STREAMS? Does a falcon EXPLAIN his swoop to the victim rodent? DOES A MIGHTY AVALANCHE "EXPLAIN" its chosen path to the slope it anoints with its MOMENTUM?
NO and no. AND THUS neither will the effulgent beam "EXPLAIN" his modus to the lop-eared comp-ed ticketed likes of YOU LOT. HE DOES WHAT HE DOES, get it dimmy dumkins?
That's why there will be STATUES of him in every village square in 20 or FIFTY years hence (BRONZE< please or shimmering ALLOY) and before you RETORT I am not PAUL LOWE but a mere being who ASPIRES to UNDERSTAND wot GENIUS means DUH ----->

Dear (+NAME)
For some time now YOU will have been aware of a subversive presence at large on the wilder fringers of EFL generally. The person culpable is a minor EFL "Blogger" and failed raconteur who is motivated by spite and lack of respect for those more successful then him.
He has adopted a variety of personas, most RECENTLY and falsely that of Adrian Glaister, who it turns out is innocent, also others known to you, and he even has a transgender personality known as "KAREN K."
With much work invested in this outcome, I have decoded his movements and lamentable PROSE manner and I can now alert you to his true identity. He is a would-be TEFL author and small-league supply teacher going by the name of Jeffrey (or JERRY/GERRY/JO-JO) HARMER. he has chosen this ludicrous surname in a reference I believe to the demented practice of SELF HARM. How pathetic and worrying he must be.
Please therefore if you should receive a dog-eared manuscript or synopsis from this individual, do not waste time assessing it but consign it AT ONCE to the slush pile wherein it can fester. ALSO if you know of the school or college where JEREMY/JO-JO etc HARMER teaches (no doubt some back-street operation without ABLS ACCREDITATION or even a 'first aid policy' in place) please inform me lest that too should fall from favour.
It is vital (you will agree!) that those of us who LEAD this industry club together on this and ensure that the fringe remains at the edges and does not CREEP centrally towards an influential high ground from whence others might be corrupted tengenitally.
With kind regards

FOR MONTHS
It is DETUMESCENT FETID and SCABROUS
as someone with such selected breeding and apparent LDN contacts, hasn't your pr advisor informed that it may be more cost-effective and less stressful to simply invest in rebranding?
a campaign showing one's generosity matched with internet marketing and press releases, plus an 'I'm sorry' and settling complaints should flood top 10 pages of google searches, then all is forgetten.
Twitter and blog freakouts are the norm now and if celebs can get past it so can an ELT personality.
but for central LDN, the account may be 3000 pounds/month but 6 months should point everything in the right direction. and tolerance can be developed and demonstrated by showing one can actually work with people with poly degrees at the pr agency...
just sayin'
thinking a little one this, this is so obvious that one wonders if indeed there are (a) the contacts, (b) the business knowledge, and/or (c) the cash.
Or is the reason this strategy has not been adopted because those with "comparable" breeding have turned their backs, tossing the ELT personality (rightfully?) into the gutter with the rest of us?
Discuss.
HA HA HA touched a raw NERVE have we JO-JO?? Am I getting warmer, HARMER??

Mr ELT Personality of High Birth,
As clearly the family has been spent, surely you must have one friend left or a sympathetic family member who can loan you their pr officer for a day/week to begin the rebranding campaign.
Relying on public services is well, very common. Hate Crimes? I don't think Upper Class (and frankly sir I know four Brits with family titles and you do not strike me as anywhere near that). You demonstrate Internet-drunkenness and probably your only claim to standings is reading various magazines.
Get a pr officer--or how lowe can you go one wonders...
family money. the more internet bs you do the more you'll have to spend on pr...
Sounds like a schizophrenic troll to me...
I do believe that people have attempted to parody the schizophrenic troll, which frankly seems like a forlorn if not impossible task.
Quite good evidence to be used in a court of law though: possibly commital proceedings under the Mental Health Act!
Oh for fugg's sake PACK IT IN, well yer! Keep Mr Lowe back in his box, over on his dedicated Windsor Swindler site.
Every time he makes an appearance over here, I have to get the place antiseptically cleaned afterwards.
Any more of this lark, and I'll start charging him for it (as if he'd EVER pay!!).
'Antiseptically cleaned? Obviously Paul Lowe's 'Lengthy defecatory touch' is still in evidence!
So CLEVER JO-JO so frigging cLEVER
Unlike you I have been SUCCESSFUL at my chosen path - SO MUCH SO that you devote a paltry lifetime to mocking MAGNIFICENT ME
How odd quoth ALICE, to see such a sight; I must have been DREAMING again
YES dreaming of imaginary FIENDS and untriangulated PHANTOMS such as your doltish self
THIS IS NOT finished
I am unquenchable and YOU are on my LIST for impending attention
along with that irrelevant shithead who styles himself with the cognomen 'Fritscher'
And no I am NOT Paul Lowe
Spot the looney!
