Binsar had got me a proper working visa and KITAS which is better than other TBI schools by the sounds of things. However, he insists on keeping your KITAS as he’s paranoid youmay be working elsewhere in your free time. The previous teacher, P****, complained about this and said that he wasn’t legally allowed to…
One of the interesting things for the authors of this blog is the way how witness statements from teachers within TBI Bekasi all repeat the same themes: the tightness and miserliness of Binsar, his unwillingness to honour pledges, and the complete indifference of Head Office when confronted with complaints about his sharp and dishonest practices.…
Part 2. Contract Negotiations and Problems The salary offered was Rp9 million per month for 24 hours a week and Rp100,000 per hour for overtime. I knew this was a low salary for TBI but compared to my EF salary of Rp7 million it was an improvement. As it was my second year teaching I…
I just read Sean’s interview with the TBI Bekasi teacher. I wanted to add a few thoughts about the teacher’s comments. 1) TBI franchise schools are not supposed to do price increases in September, so the teacher is absolutely right to wonder whether Binsar has done this with official approval.

He is a busy businessperson these days, who views TBI as the worst six months of his life. We asked him about the allegations being aired by Matthew, Colm and Luke that we are psychotics,…

Today we have published the original teacher’s report from the first blog. I asked the teacher (name kept hidden for his safety) to write out his story. Predictably, Luke Preece and his cyber-bully friends attacked the grammar as not up to TBI standards. This is one of their well-established bullying techniques. Not one of Luke…

This week we will continue to reveal the deception and dishonesty which is now an acute disorder which infects everything TBI touches. Readers of this blog will be aware that the first 6 expat teachers to work at TBI Bekasi (Sun City) have all reported that Binsar under-paid them and threatened them with arrest, violence,…
