Between 2009 and 2012 The British Institute, a formerly well-regarded language school in Indonesia, was taken over by a small group of people who had aided each other in embezzlement, rigging appointments in favour of their cronies and sex partners, and running visa scams where they employed completely unqualified foreigners as “English teachers” by putting…
In April 2010, Mariezka complained to Head Office that Luke Preece was corrupt. She had sent him her CV to apply for the job of School Manager at TBI Jalan Jawa in Bandung. But Luke Preece (seorang licik dari Australia) had thrown away CV Mariezka. Luke wanted to make his friend Scott Martin the school…
Tonight we take a break from TBI Cibubur to share another one of Luke Preece’s bombshell comments about TBI franchise owners. On several occasions he mentioned to either Cam or myself that the owner of TBI Bogor was heavily involved in organized crime. Preece, a 38 year old South Australian who is using forged documents…
Just a shortish weekend post to clear up a point that could be easily misconstrued. In this post I would like to address the scope of corruption within TBI (The British Institute) in general, and comment on the extent of teacher complicity specifically.

One thing to remember in dealing with sociopaths like Luke Preece or Binsar Simorangkir is that there is a mask or persona which lies over the true self. One of the best fictional treatments of this bizarre duality which sociopaths present is the novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde by the Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson…
In light of Ratna’s removal, we think it is ethical to issue a fresh warning to anyone who has a TBI email account. In late 2011 TBI set up its own email system powered by Google. I think only managers have TBI email accounts not teachers. For example Luke Preece’s email is luke.preece@tbi.co.id. There are…
