At the moment, I have around 6 companies. The biggest client is Glaxo Smithkline. The office is very plush and the atmosphere is very formal. Its students, however, are the most relaxed as they are happy with conversation classes where they can relax, talk about everything and anything. These classes consist of no more than two students and are relatively informal.
My most interesting, but challenging group is ECB (Energy Centre Bratislava), a non-profit environmental organistation that deals with energzissues in ťhe country. The class consists of ten upper-intermediate students and takes place in the company's kitchen.
Some classes can be a knackering experience, especially when the lessons take place at around 7.30 in the morning and the students are half-asleep and thinking about something else.
Getting from one end to the city to the other can be challenging as you have to sit on buses where everyone is packed like sardines. Even if one allows plenty of travelling time, the chances of being late for classes is high. When buses show up, they are already taking more people beyond their capacity. When the bus is full, one often has to wait another 20 minutes for another one.
However, there are a few perks. Most comapnies give you plenty of tea and quality coffee and often give you plenty of time to settle in. What's more, if you have a director on a 1-1 basis, chances are that he or she will often cancel the lesson when they have more important things to do.
