Recently in: Yuming Education
Anyone in Tianjin, watch out for a recruiter by the name of "Yu Ming Education"
This company is in my experience one of the worst in the city, are notorious for ripping off their teachers and pretty much everything that spills from their lips are lies.
Their website offers a very interesting and lucrative package. Unfortunately that is not what you will end up with, as is often the case with recruiters. They blatantly misinform the length of the holiday periods, and even in some advertisements, state a rate of holiday pay.
All in all you will end up working and being paid for around 6 months of a 12 month contract, the other unpaid 6 months can be attributed to lengthy unpaid school holidays, national holidays and cancelled classes.
Most teachers who then try to leave the company have their visa screwed, as the company will inform the PSB you no longer work there, but will not follow the correct procedure which enables you to transfer your employment elsewhere. They also hold on to your Foreign Experts Certificate from day one, I didn't even know I should have the little black book until I was stopped by the police one time and asked for it.
Avoid at all costs, despicable crooks who have no boundaries as to how low they will stoop.
Quick question though, why do the Chinese government allow this kind of manipulation and exploitation of foreign labour to continue. There are so many poor companies around, who are clearly in existence for no other reason than to take foreigners for a ride and profit out of them. China's reputation is being servilely damaged each and every time articles such as the ones in this thread are published on the net.

COMMENTS: (SPIDERED)
Not sure how to put this, but today at school after some exhilarating lessons (¬_¬) me and a Chinese co-worker were sat in the office. After some banter, she throws a bottle at me, to which I throw back. Next, she picks up a pair of scissors, and comes towards me. I jokingly bare a defensive stance, and suddenly feel a searing pain in my left thigh, then my right.
So, I look down and she's clutching the scissors held shut. I cry out, and hobble to the toilet with the cleaner looking on and assuming I'm joking. By this time it's painful to walk, and I slip into the toilet, drop trou and example. One deep, deep hole on my left thigh, one average on my right. I re-trou, hobble back to the office close to tears, grab my bag and walk towards the elevator.
'I need to go to the hospital' I say, 'I can't teach.'
I meet a chinese friend, head there and have some tetanus shots and clean the wound, 390RMB down, I head for home.
I'm still in shock, my manager and other Chinese co workers have rung me to say 'She didn't mean it, maybe she messed around too hard.' but I find this hard to fathom. Never in my 22 years of living in the UK have I been attacked, or had anything done that ended with me being in hospital and with two blood stained, scarred up thighs.
What next, you ask? Apparently the owner of the school rings my friend and says because I left before I completed my final class of the day, I was to be stripped of all of last month's pay, yep, all of February should not be paid on the 10th because I missed one class.
Any thoughts? It's weird because if this had happened in an office in the UK there would be utter uproar!
I guess this is yet another reason NOT to work for KidCastle in Xi'an.

Just checked with a Chinese teacher friend there. One western teacher was terminated for repeatedly asking that his toilet be fixed. He didn't finish the term. He may have pushed the button a little too hard because he contracted food poisoning in the cafeteria at the end of November.

Teaching English in Beijing?
Hi, I was reading alot here, great forum! It seems that many people come to China and work in medium cities, and that it can be exceedingly difficult to obtain a job in Beijing China.
Is there anyojne presently working in Beijing now, who might be able to share their experience getting a job there and what I should expect for salary and benefits?
I'm 38, having three years of formal in-class teaching experience.
Thanks

Hey all!
First of all I'd like to thank you all for sharing a very important info.
I would like to ask if someone actually saw a contract from one of the companies?
Apperantly Lanxiang is an extremly welthy academy and I was offered to work at their tennis section...
Yep, the same deal with salray and terms - too good to be truth.
The only thing is that they sent me a contract but it still doesn't proove anything.
I was also trying to make them fly me over from Europe to China and meet the academy officials personnaly but theyare trying to avoide that.
Allien coaching forms does seems like they try to nail us and make a living of our pocket.
I was lucky enough to get an offer from Zenchui Tennis Academy - probably another scam.
I will be happy to publish my mails with the current " academies" and check out if someone got the same mails.
Looking forward for your replies.
Tennis coach.

Apply Directly to Schools in China or Recruiter?

This primer offers a nice contrast of the many different ways you can come to China.
Teaching in China Primer
Many provincial governments now require a school to go through their approved recruiter. This has been a growing trend for two years. Alot of schools will not hire directly, but rather will use a head hunter to find talent. In doing so, they have some recourse if you bail early or break your contract with them as contracts between recruiters and schools usually indicate that one party is responsible of the "Quality" of their product is not good. In this case, you are the product.
That being said, I think it's okay to use recruiters. As Sue said, avoid the Chinese companies, stick to local. Chinese recruiters have the schools as their customers and will service their needs firstly, not yours.
If you can find a good company or organization to sponsor you and one that offers decent services, it is worth forgoing the hassle of finding a job on your own and letting someone handle all aspects of the job finding process for you. But if you don't mind the hassle, and have experience dealing and negotiating with the Chinese (which many people don't) then by all means, have at it.

Ical is correct, but I would also like to add, (never pay a Chinese recruiter.) If you go with an organization in your home country that is processing your visa and offering you a premium service and support in China, expect to pay for that service.

I think using a reliable and trustworthy recruiter is fine (we use them all the time to find jobs for our teachers).
However, the single most important rule is that you should never, ever, pay a recruiter a single penny for finding you work. That's non-negotiable.

Apply Directly to Schools in China or Recruiter?
Hi all,
Okay - I've been watching these threads for awhile now, and received alot of advice about applying directly to schools and not using a recruiter.
For the past four months, I've been applying to schools directly, but the communication is either terrible or it has been difficult to find someone with a decent grasp of English.
Is this normal? I'm at my witts end.
I have excellent credentials and eight years teaching in public schools.
In contrast to the advice I've received, the best responses seem to come from recruiters.
Anyone else with a similar issue?

KID CASTLE XIAN !!!

(SPIDERED)
So, thought I'd settled into China nicely, first and foremost, I work at Xi'an Kid Castle *sigh*.
I know, I know but I was naive and the contract they sent me was written in the Chinese name of the school and skewed, nothing came up, but anyways.
So things were going ok, but the last two months things related to pay have frankly done my nut in.
Before I go any further, I'm not hiding behind any alias either, if you know Kid Castle in Xi'an my names not exactly hard to hide so whatever.
Anyways, firstly, last month I go to check my account, and oh, I'm 1300 RMB short, I signed a contract for 5400 and I end up being paid 3000. So anyways, question why, but am told the money has been taken to 'pay for heating'.
'Don't worry though, it's only about 800 RMB, you'll get the rest back', guess how much I've received back? This isn't in the contract and apparently it's never been heard of, I don't understand how the Chinese dive their hands into the pay and take what they perceive to be the right amount, but I guess that's just being Chinese.
This month, due to our school moving and them not painting in time, I miss 10 days of school, and my salary this month was only 3,000 or so, which is paltry I know. Go to check now, I've been paid 2,200.
No explaination and now everyone's 'away on new year'.
What the hell am I suppose to do with 2,200 RMB considering I've got medicine to buy? I already had the landlord knock to ask for the bills before he jets off for Chinese New Year, and I paid, so no excuses there.
How do you budget properly when you get told your contract is for 5,400RMB and you check your bank and are paid 2,200? Honestly, is it even possible?
And if you worked 2/3 of the month and ended up with 2,200 rmb, how many would just pack their bags and be done with it?
It's strange because although Kid Castle received a battering, and for some things rightly so, I do like the people I work with and the children, but that's just slave labour if they realistically expect someone to live on 2,200 in one month...

China TEFL Network - Stealing your Identity
COMMENTS: (SPIDERED)
..The following "teacher testimonial" was NOT written by Romain Vuattoux:
http://en.chinatefl.com/SchoolinChina/teacherlist.aspx?id=19
A recruiting company in Hangzhou called "China TEFL network", has been using my name to sign a FAKE "testimonial". They took a picture from another website, published false information and signed in my name without asking me for permission or even sending me a notice. Before using this recruiting company, I would think twice about it. A company which spreads lies and usurp your identity cannot be reliable.
I DO NOT KNOW the company, but they claim that they placed me in China. This is the first lie.
This company NEVER asked me to write a testimonial. Another teacher (Brian Dermody) never wrote anything for this company either but is also used.
I did spend a year and half in Jiangshan Middle School, and it was not as described in this false "testimonial". I DID NOT have a good relation with the principal of the school (in fact quite the opposite). Most of the teachers there were only professionally friendly.
I DO NOT "highly recommend" Jiangshan Middle School. The principal has changed and I have heard that he is terrible. The students are great and the work too but this school wants to control every part of the teachers' lives. If you don't mind having a curfew and not being allowed to host whoever you wish, as well as having to ask permission for every movement you make, go for it. Jiangshan city has its benefits, while living in a small town you can learn much about real and more traditional Chinese culture (not westernized, franchised, city culture). I had a good experience there, but not because of the school.
Finally, the English used in the testimonial is barely correct, and is clearly written by a Chinese person who is not fluent.

Lousey ESL Teachers in China, Who Complain
TO ALL YOU CRAPPY, NO LIFE, EXPAT TEACHERS WITH NOTHING BETTER TO DO BUT FUME YOUR VOMITOUS IGNORANCE WE PLAN TO EXPLOIT YOUR LEGIONS, LAUGH AT YOUR CONSTANT WHINING, ROLL OUR EYES AT THE TINY VALUE OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO OUR GREAT SOCIETY AND GENERALLY RETIRE ON THE PROFITS EARNED FROM THE MANDATES WE WILL ISSUE TO YOU THAT YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER.
Reading your drivel is a regular morning pleasure for us. You make me money, and I can enjoy my life comfortably with the sadistic pleasure that you are unhappy and can do absolutely nothing about your situation. You are free to leave my country, yet - you choose to stay, unhappy, constantly complaining. If the price of my large retirement fund is to listen to your groveling drivel, then allow me to give you some advice as a show of my deep appreciation..
You serve to educate my children on what not to become, and how to acheive success in the international language of business that you take for granted, English.
Thank you for making us all better exploiters of your countries poor political manueverings, your beholden economies, and the general desperation of a mass of ESL wanna-be's seeking to escape the hundred year reality you have created in your slothdom.
It is our turn now. You can leave, and you will be replaced with not so much as even a blink. Your only remembrance will be a calendar photo from the last year you served, and gone at the turn of a page.

Which location are you talking about specifically here? Jeff Chen is a notoriously evil character wielding a nasty temper, I had the displeasure of working for him on several occasions back when I first started my career in China and learned the hard way.

Is this the same school franchise headed by Tim and Jeff Chen? (schools are in mainland China but they are originally from Taiwan)

DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY!!!
~ New Jordan Education Group ~ (Including all branches)
I am currently one of many dissatisfied teachers working in China for this company. It has been nothing short of Hell and an uphill battle with this company and many of its bosses in general which has lead to nothing short of a bloodbath. Here are a few of the many reasons I have personally come across for why to boycott this company:
Issues That Arose:
~ Their inflexibility:
I had very few classes due to Spring Festival (children mostly go home two weeks before) and all afternoon I had nothing to do (from 11:30 to 4pm, no classes at all). Instead of giving me the option of going home, or even shifting my work times a little forward (removing lunch break which is unpaid for) to allow me to head home earlier; they simple said no. They admitted to being inflexible and unreasonable.
~ Rude & Inconsiderate:
When addressing any issues to the woman I was supposed to report them to, at one point she lost it on the phone, came up with phony excuses and then began to yell at me on the phone, ignore my attempts to further explain information and kept repeating lame excuses etc. Telling me it was my fault, to just accept it and stop being difficult, something she had text to another foreign co-worker of mine when he has raised concerns to her.
There was a national snow day one day and though the school had been informed the evening previous, no one informed my fellow foreign worker nor I via phone, text or e-mail. We showed up for work, wondered why no students were arriving and once we were able to track down our manager she finally told us that yes, no classes so we could go home. No one had thought to tell us this before our coming? Very inconsiderate!
~ Threats:
The woman above who I am to report to has also made threats to not only me but to others. One of them being “to add more classes” in a cover up as making everything “fair to all”. When she has no leg to stand on, or other higher bosses do not have anything to fall back on they threaten to just add more classes or give more work, crappy classes or teaching instructions etc. One fellow Chinese worker spoke about a 17 day delayed paycheck to them and they gave her really bad classes as punishment for speaking out.
~ Pay Cuts:
New Jordan is all about taking money and giving out as little as possible. From counting the number of pieces of paper you ask for, to cutting your pay for being late 2 minutes. Yes, they do it. I, along with my fellow workers have been threatened of, had to fight against, and have received pay cuts for the following:
~ The government issued “snow day”
~ Being late 30 minutes due to heavy rainfall, before class even began (which they wanted to take a whole day pay off)
~ A whole half day worth of pay for missing two classes in an afternoon
~ The school cancelling classes/days due to closing of kindergarten during renovation
~ A coworker of mine was told 3 weeks later after missing some class time that he was going to be cut a big amount of pay.
~ Excuses, Lies, False Promises:
One day, I was late due to heavy rainfall and as I was very sick and had to take a long bus ride to work, I came in a little late and missed sitting in a cold room during winter to do nothing, they said nothing. They waited until lunch of the following day to call me on the phone and tell me I was losing a full day of pay. They basically let me work for free first before telling me this. Of course I fought it (and won somehow) and one of the excuses for me receiving a pay cut was “because Cassidy is sick”. Lost? So was I!
Promised my fellow foreign teachers many things, their own apartment, not having to work heavy loads during training school days, No Friday night classes etc. etc. And of course, they never follow through.
All of us have been downright lied to at one point or another also.
~ Changes, Delays & No Teaching Content:
Even though in the contract it says that schedules must be given 2 days in advance and that the material as well as teaching content must be provided, it is not. They change everything the day of, or give no teaching content, you ask as you go to teach the class or it was incorrect. They have also given the schedule the day of. All of which can be refused by the foreign teacher as I now know.
~ Poor Management (a mess) & Useless
ALL the bosses are @$$holes, to put it simply and nicely. This company is not only poorly run, poorly organized, but the head bosses are sincerely selected on how well they can rip off parents, employees and one another. They are childish as when a problem occurs they blame one another and then they state it was a group selection so you cannot peg them down. More than once they blame the poor Chinese teachers who are in fact, not to blame. They also refuse to let you speak to anyone higher up, but forget it. That too is a waste of time as they are just as rotten in the core as the rest of them.
~ Poorly Treated Employees:
As if foreign teachers were not poorly treated by getting big pay cuts, being told they should be ashamed as they make a lot of money than everyone else, or told that “This is China, maybe you just can’t get use to it” or being compared to one another when a concern arises. However, New Jordan also poorly treats its Chinese employees. Yes, they delay their pay cuts by 17 days or more, they withhold a whole month’s salary too in blackmailing them. They also let all the blame fall on these poor people who make less than the average minimal wage in Wuhan China, they make only 1000 RMB compared to the 2,000RMB minimum wage in Wuhan. They are also required do work outside of teaching, promotional events, decorating the school, making their own teaching materials, translating or writing speeches etc.
~ Catches in the contract:
They offer money bonuses, “free health care” and all sorts of goodies that, when read closely and asked about reveal that they are not free and are harder to obtain than you know! All money granted must have been spent previously with recites to back them up, something that is very hard to get in China and if they give you a 400 spending allowance, you must spend more than that to get it least they only give you up to the 300 you spent but consider this benefit used. The Health Care is only accidental, so a car has to hit you in order for it to be valid. These are just some of the catches in the contract.
There is more, lots more. Needless to say I won’t bore any of you anymore. I just wanted to make everyone aware that this is a SCAMMING SCHOOL where they take as much money from the parents as they can and greedily suck it back; giving and doing very little for their employees. It is all about using everyone to their fullest and giving as little as possible. DO NOT WORK FOR NEW JORDAN EDUCATION GROUP if you value yourself.
Best Wishes!
Jamie
