TBI is a secretive company. This is because it is a company with a lot to hide. As many shocking revelations as we have made on this blog, it is sobering to think that we probably know only a small percentage of the rot which has gone on. This is because we were never in…
Posted: Wed May 15, 2013 11:04 am Post subject: I’m considering refusing the offer of the CELTA place from this particular institution. I wasn’t impressed with the pretentious attitude of the two tutors I met, not to mention poor e-mail responses and grammar typos on the letters they sent out – these were feelings shared…
Reputasi TBI (The British Institut) sudah memudar. Dulu citra TBI (The British Institut) cukup bagus, tetapi kini telah dirusak oleh banyak skandal dalam sekolah tersebut. TBI memiki managemen yang melakukan tindakan korupsi dan tidak profesional. Ada beberapa alasan citra TBI telah memudar.

When Eny was first appointed as School Manager of TBI Fatmawati in the wake of Chris Needham’s spectacular failure at the school, TBI Head Office pumped almost one billion rupiah (Rp 1.000.000.000) in advertising and promotion funds into the school. This was an unheard of amount for TBI to invest in marketing. For most of…

Michelle has oh-so-predictably rocked up this morning and boasted that we are losers because we don’t know the inner politics of TBI anymore. This has become something of a ritual for Luke Preece as his former dominion rapidly collapses. When his horribly unpopular stooge Scotty got demoted from the School Manager rule at Riau we…
It is now time for this blog and its contributors to chalk up another victory for justice. We can now confirm that it has now been over three months since control of TBI passed from Mariam’s grasp. According to her ego-stroking Linked-In account, her time as TBI Director has ended and she is now Director…
The facts of the case are clear: at the end of 2012 Luke Preece was replaced as Head of Franchise by an Indonesian by the name of Pak Hery. The delicious irony of the situation had not been lost on the authors of this blog. The man who back stabbed so many other expat managers,…
The ability to make accurate predictions is important in the sciences as a means of testing different theories. The people who believed in a ‘Flat Earth’ were proven wrong when Magellan circumnavigated the globe. The same applies in other fields.
