[edit] Citations

The content of this page sounds like an advert and the only verifiable citations are from the company's own materials. Please help by adding independant citations.--Shakujo 02:31, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Unsupported POVs have appeared on this page recently. Please add the citations.--Shakujo 06:25, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dubious External Links

Some links are dubious, in that they only marginally relate to the article. These need to be verified.--Shakujo 05:51, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Deleted links to dubious sites with no relation to the article.--Paulman 21:09, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Attacks

We need to be careful how somethings are presented. There have been some edits without citations, which could libel the company. I have edited these where possible and replaced text that has been blanked without explanation or justification.--Shakujo 06:40, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I have changed some of the inaccuracies in the article in as unbiased a way as possible.

1. Student Contracts: Students are able to transfer their contracts to overseas schools, and there is no problem with ending contracts early. Students are also able to terminate contracts as and when they like.

2. Teachers are not required to have a background in education because the requirements laid down by the Japanese government state that people coming to Japan on the Specialist in Humanities and International Relations visa need to have completed a minimum of a bachelor degree, and speak English as a first language. These are not rules created by GEOS.

3. There is no preferential hiring of new teachers based on sales experience. Teachers are hired based on several requirements. If an interviewee has excellent sales experience, but, in the opinion of the hiring officer, it is believed they will not be able to be trained how to teach, they will not be hired.
