I have just finished a 4-month conversational english teaching stint at Kramar's School of English in Zlate Moravce and can honestly say that the whole experience was great. Not only did Boris help me get my work visa (he travelled with me several times to Nitra), he was also a good boss. His wife and 3 boys were nothing but helpful and kind.
I would also like to point out that Boris's mother-in-law is not a "senile and alcoholic old lady" as mentioned on another post. She is a caring, kind lady who couldn't do enough for me.
Yes, there is a telephone beside the desk in every class room, and yes, he did ring me several times per day. This was usually before, but sometimes during, class - but it wasn't a problem. Any criticism he had of my teaching (there was very little) was always conveyed constructively and courteously. From time to time, he did change the roster at the last minute - but again, it wasn't a problem for me.
He always paid my wages on time. I never saw him drunk and he certainly never made rude or inappropriate comments about women.
Looking at the previous comments made about Boris, I can't help but think that perhaps his poor grasp of conversational english at the time may have resulted in some misunderstandings. Whatever the reason, I just feel compelled to stand up for the guy as my experience with him was nothing but positive. I would also like to point out that my replacement (an American) actually taught at Kramar's School of English 3 years ago. Surely it can't be that bad a place if he's happy to teach there again.
