We have often been informed that the “Indonesianization of management” policy which was pursued by TBI with cut-throat abandon in 2010 and 2011 has not been the glowing success that Ashley, Mariam and Luke envisaged. In fact, in the last 3 and a half years, TBI has seen 2 schools close permanently- TBI Semarang and…
TBI defenders are thin on the ground these days. When we first explained that TBI was a rottenly corrupt organization which had stubbornly resisted all attempts to reform it – whether from Yoni, Cameron and myself, the former Academic Manager, Ratna or GA in Malang- we first encountered angry denial. Now things are very different.…
On Monday we showed how by May Dave’s ESL Cafe user “Sun Shan” had become disillusioned with TBI, complaining of its pretentiousness, its typo-ridden letters and its poor diligence in corresponding with people on the CELTA course. According to this CELTA candidate, all other candidates for the TBI CELTA course had complained of TBI’s errors…
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…
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. Di bawah inilah alasan yang paling serius: 1) TBI memperkerjakan tenaga kerja asing…
We have told what we know of the Eny story because we feel it has been insufficiently known until now. If Eny was as hot as people used to say when TBI Fatmawati boomed, why had she done markedly less well at Kuningan? If she was such a lionized example of business prowess, why had…
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…
Luke Preece is the most shameless liar I have ever met. No one else is in his league in his ability to debase himself by lying every time he feels it is convenient. Nothing he said can be trusted. Here is an example of the blatant distortions and misinformation that he and his crew of…
The truth regulator Apr 16, 5:25 am That’s a huge blow to this blog. A great victory for Scotty Boy though. Ratna is gone- hahahaha!!!! Cameron deserved to go. Chris deserved to go. The 5 teachers Luke got fired at Dipati Ukur in 2002 deserved to go. Minnie deserved to go. According to “Michelle” she…
Someone called ‘Tudor’ who claims never to have worked for TBI has posted hundreds of times on both Dave’s ESL Cafe and the Living in Indonesia Forum, mostly about TBI (including on threads where he abuses us and claims to know whether we have jobs!) This Dave’s ESL hog has not missed a chance to…
