The TEFL Tradesman: Speak Up! - That Deleted Post!
http://tefltradesman.blogspot.com/2015/01/speak-up-that-deleted-post.html
Dishing the dirt on Britain's tacky TEFL trade. Friday, January 2, 2015. Due to popular demand, I am restoring the post below, which was deleted as a result of the usual grubby activities by lawyers. Sandy will NOT be silenced! Once again, Sandy's Tefl spies have brought to greater attention the dodgy doings of another shyster school. In this case, I am very proud to be able to shine the 'Spotlight of Shame' on Speak Up! Http:/ www.solfed.org.uk/north-london/marta-2-speak-up-0. After all, he seems to hav...

The TEFL Tradesman: Would YOU work for 20K in London?
http://tefltradesman.blogspot.com/2014/08/would-you-work-for-20k-in-london.html
Dishing the dirt on Britain's tacky TEFL trade. Saturday, August 30, 2014. Would YOU work for 20K in London? Well, would you? If you’re an EFL teacher you’d probably have to, but did you also know that – even as a Diploma-qualified Tefler with the following attributes, you may well have to! 8226; Experience of delivering examination classes ( FCE/CAE/CPE/IELTS). 8226; Experience of working in multilingual classroom. 8226; Proficiency in time management and record keeping. What’s worse, the ad makes...

The TEFL Tradesman: December 2013
http://tefltradesman.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Dishing the dirt on Britain's tacky TEFL trade. Sunday, December 1, 2013. The oddness of Riyadh: the place and the people (part 3). And so, here we have, unfortunately, the last instalment in the trilogy of our beloved Tefl colleagues. Can any other trade or profession boast such a large. Eventually Mr C resigned after his wife (affectionately named Robocop, on account of her metal knee plate) was denied a visa. All true I promise. Please feel free to enlighten us by adding a comment below! The oddness o...

The TEFL Tradesman: March 2013
http://tefltradesman.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Dishing the dirt on Britain's tacky TEFL trade. Monday, March 25, 2013. Sandy has decided to make a tentative reappearance, after a few weeks spent hiding from the usual gangs of loathsome lawyers waving writs and threatening to leave me naked and penniless by the roadside. Seeing as I have no wish to spend the rest of my days loitering around the sleazy streets of Skidrow-on-Sea in absolute penury, I have decided to succumb to the evil lawmongers and delete the offending posts. Links to this post. Or ar...

The TEFL Tradesman: Rubbish in EFL
http://tefltradesman.blogspot.com/2013/07/rubbish-in-efl.html
Dishing the dirt on Britain's tacky TEFL trade. Tuesday, July 30, 2013. My God, HOW remiss of me! I completely forgot to enlighten you all regarding my thrilling experience with Luke ‘the Spook’ Meddings. For those of you who have no idea (or wish to know) just who Luke is, he is one of those unfortunate social retards (i.e., a Tefler) who claims to have half-invented the Dogme movement, along with his Australian chum, erm, old whatsisname. Of course, so enthused was I by Dr Spook’s presentation th...

The TEFL Tradesman: May 2013
http://tefltradesman.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Dishing the dirt on Britain's tacky TEFL trade. Wednesday, May 1, 2013. Sandy's Nutty Tefl Mayday Offering! Oops - Forgot to post this one! I mean, can you actually believe this shite? I'll give anybody ten free pints of Old Speckled Hen if they can tell me from which highly-esteemed teachers' journal it emanated. A new group is about to start a programme where it is important that learners mix with others. Each new member of the group is issued with a lollipop stick. Would any right-minded being (that p...

The TEFL Tradesman: November 2013
http://tefltradesman.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Dishing the dirt on Britain's tacky TEFL trade. Thursday, November 21, 2013. The oddness of Riyadh: the place and the people (part 2). Here is the next colourful instalment in the rich tapestry of Tefl weirdoes from Saudi Arabia. I was quite relieved to find out that I don't feature amongst them! An Irishman with a propensity to throw chairs through windows after consuming illegal hooch during in-house karaoke sessions. Whilst in work he gained the reputation for being a compulsive liar and having a ...

The TEFL Tradesman: The short goodbye...
http://tefltradesman.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-short-goodbye.html
Dishing the dirt on Britain's tacky TEFL trade. Friday, January 30, 2015. Well, it's almost exactly ten years since I first breathed life into 'Sandy McManus', aka 'The Tefl Tradesman', and started this blog. In all that time I have achieved . probably very little (if anything at all). OK then, maybe not. After all, we have had some great laughs, ousted a few shysters, and thrown an unforgiving light on all manner of bullshit and deceit, both inside and outside the classroom. Want to fill us in? Oh fuggu...
