Worst Experience

I was in English Camp Taiwan a while ago and I will say that it was one of the worst experiences in my life.

First of all, they have no structure in how they run the program. The people that are in charge of the program basically only deal with the logistical stuff of overcharging parents for a English summer camp, finding schools that will help scam these poor kids, and find accommodations for the interns aka the English teachers.

All of the curriculum, activities, and schedules of what the kids are going to be doing throughout the summer camp is the responsibility of the teachers. The people in charge though will not help you at all. They force you to come up with lesson plans and fun activities on the spot and will criticize you. This means that you have a bunch of inexperienced college students teach young kids English with a lesson plan that they came up with the night before. English Camp Taiwan will just make you do everything and overwork you from early morning 8AM all the way until around 9PM.

The accommodation that we had for the first week was also filled with tarantulas and spiders. There was no running hot water and we all slept on the ground. It was very unhygienic.

I once had a headache and asked if I could stay in the accommodation for just an hour or two to rest because I was so overworked and dehydrated. I got a call from the person in charge and he scolded me telling me that I was not allowed to take a break even though I was feeling sick.

All in all, there is so much more to this organization and how unorganized it is. I would not recommend anyone to do this even if they are desperate for an internship or job. It is not worth your energy and you will just be helping them scam these kids' money.
