1. How long did you work for Binsar Simorangkir? I worked for Mr. Simorangkir from August 2011 until May 2012. Technically my contract started on October 2011, but I worked part time for him before signing up for a year of my life to TBI. 2) What were the pay and…

One of the strange things that started happening at TBI in 2011 and intensified in 2012 was the relationship which developed between Jalaludin Japri and Firlana Ismayadin, the former Marketing Officer. This relationship had even started to be the subject of much speculation among TBI teachers by 2012. Here is a typical incident or story.…
Starting in February 2013, we bought you 13 serialized installments of a teacher’s report from inside TBI Bekasi. This was the first ever teacher to finsh a contract with the school’s owner-manager-terrorizer, Binsar Simorangkir. The fact that it took almost 5 years before one ex-pat managed to stay at TBI Bekasi Suncity for a full…
Hi Sean! Thanks for the note. I’m not at Bekasi now, thank God. Binsar, the guy who owns the franchise there, is a real piece of work. I’m aware of six teachers who’ve been screwed by that guy. He strings folks along with promises of KITAS and IMTAS, but never follows through after squeezing teachers…
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…
Having established in Part 1. that there is no way the power-hungry, prestige-obsessed Preece would have given up control of 11 out of 16 TBI schools voluntarily, we demonstrated that at the end of 2012 Luke Preece was clearly forced to give up his Franchise School dominion. In short, Luke Preece was pushed out of…
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,…
Teaching Standards I am aware that on my personal site I have written about the courses that I have taught at TBI Bekasi. I do stand by my testimonial there as it relates to courses taught. The standard of teaching at TBI Bekasi is quite high. The local Indonesian teachers are well-qualified and experienced and…
