No offense to the OP but this ad has almost every red flag in the teaching industry in China.
For example, *o Possible relocation to new city, center or country*…….a Chinese friend of mine was promised a bank job in her hometown. She was looking forward to living at home with mom and dad for awhile….But 24 hours after arriving there, the bank transferred her to another city.
When they say possible, they mean it. When they say things like airflight reinbursement, they "possibly" don't.
Word to the wise. Lots of opportunity in China, but be careful and cautious.

I agree, always be cautious. I'm basing my assessment on a guy I know who was in a very tricky situation and this particular school helped him through thick and thin, they paid him everything he was due and never cheated him.xtreme wrote:When they say possible, they mean it.

I think it's fair to say that if anyone was going to call an employer out for ripoffs, I would be at the head of the queue with them.

Ha ha ha. I have just spent over 8 years teaching in China. You don't need any type of qualification, but if you have any they are happy because they do not have to forge them. In 2009 I was making 10,000 Yuan a month, plus 2 bed apartment free along with internet and utilities. 20 classes per week M-F, 45 mins each class. Finish class, go home. No office hours. This was in Fuyang, beautiful town on the river a few hours from Shanghai. 1/2 pay during the 5 months of holidays which I just traveled during.
Left that job in 2009 to go to Zhuhai, Guangdong Province where it was easy for me to get 1 year F business visas. I was making $40 an hour teaching privately to professionals (building the Macau HK Zhuhai Bridge), police, Olympic officials and a heap of other stuff in a nice climate and clean city on the beach and border of Macau. Then F visa became 6 months, then 3, then it was like 5000 yuan for a 3 month visa.
Shit happens. Not only that, but new regulations electronically fingerprint you if you stay for over 3 months, no matter what the reason. Over stay is a little expensive (forget, did not do it), but there is a limit.
If you go to China and are patient, you can find a good school. The problem is they like to end your visa in 10 or 11 months so you are suckered into working for them again or leaving the country. I started in Inner Mongolia at -32C before I figured it out during the winter:(

I never mentioned rip offs. Everywhere and you better have it on paper or you get nothing.

It scares the hell out of me that you are an experienced and qualified teacher, Roach.

A. Australians. To be more precise, Bogans.
Then again, he might have learned English by watching Neighbours and Home and Away.

I told you all this when I arrived and my experience. I thought I may get a helping hand. A Japanese outfit offered me $5 an hour and I almost fainted. I took $10, then $12, then $15 till I realized that private professional classes and hospitality was the direction I needed to take.
Your direction was get a tuk tuk to the nearest meth head and grab a bag of glue on the way!
I walked. It was hot. I eat bugs. I pay 800 riel for a coconut in the morning cause the old lady feels sorry for me. Most expats are nice on the surface, but they get drunk a lot, talk to themselves (A LOT, I shit you not), and when passing look at me like I'm a fake monk.
I'm a nice guy and experienced teacher that you all seem to be correcting on a forum. I'm just saying I was attacked ... by expats.
So I fought back. Then they banned me, slam banned me, and super slam banned me.
So I took a break and read and started to get to know you avatars. Personally, I think you all are insane and need to see that psychologist they have here.
Other than that, there are a few very decent people on here.
Scares me when I go out. I wonder ............ is that so and so from K440? Scary. I mean you guys do exist even though most of you are not located here.

There are no fingerprints involved in legit visas. Photos, medical, and pay offs. It is a new law brought in about a year ago. They always time the new laws with Spring Festival. In all my years there I have never given my fingerprints for any reason at all. Got to the Cambodian border and they sure took them digital quick.
