Berlin Brandenburg Int School and teaching in Germany

[Peter]

Hi,

A colleague of mine is interested in working at Berlin Brandenburg IS. There is no review on the site. Does anyone reading this have any feedback about the school?

I'd also be interested in hearing from any teachers who have worked in Berlin (or Germany generally) about the possibility of saving much money on a salary of about 45000 euros (before tax!).

Thanks,

Peter

I worked at the JFK school 10 years ago.

I doubt you could save any money today on 45000 Euros!

[Happy teaching]

My husband worked at IS Frankfurt years ago, (when salaries went further!) and maxed his credit cards to take any holidays. He lived in a 60 m sq. apartment and wasn't extravagant. Germany is not a place to save money! But Berlin is lovely and a great city to live in.

Good luck!

Any recent news about the atmosphere at BBIS?

You'll find reviews of this school on the site -- you must of missed it.

A friend of mine works there and likes it. He's been there for three years now and has been able to save money. I don't know how much but he seems pretty happy. It's around a 30-40 minute train ride outside Berlin so don't think that you'll be living in Berlin proper.

Matt! can you please tell your friend to give me a message on alecs_mario\at\yahoo.com so that i can find some inside things from him. i am soon to have an interview with them so i would like to find out more about the school atmosphere . thanks[/quote]

Okay, I just sent him the message. I hope he gets back to you before you have the interview! Good luck! You could land in a lot worse places than Germany for sure!
