Consumer Advice

Sadly, the cram-school industry in Taiwan is focused mostly on making money, not on necessarily educating you, and there is almost no regulation or quality control.

Some of the teaching methods used disappeared from the west decades ago as an increasing amount of research proved these methods did not work well at all.

If you care about your own future, you must read these posts. Just click on any of the following titles.
