Re: Suzhou Foreign Language School, Suzhou, China
I am sure that we would like to thank the 250 kilo Kevin and all of his myriad personalities for all of the posts here....same tone, same style, same ilk. What WILL be interesting, however, is what will happen over the next 2 - 3 weeks : that is when, if what I hear is correct, that Gordon, or whome...

Re: Suzhou Foreign Language School, Suzhou, China
The above post is a paid political announcement from a new teacher, apparently, at the school, who has been at the school for less than several weeks. I have learned by reading another site, www.eslteachersboard.com, and a posting by a Dr. K. V. Helmsleigh, that apparently the infamous Kevin H., and...

Re: Problems with eslconsultants, Qingdao - anyone else?
Dear Ulrich, eslconsultants.com are well-known scam artists in Shandong Province, which tends to have more well-known scam artists than other provinces. I am sorry that you are wasting so much time in dealing with them. There are a lot of decent jobs in China, if you look carefully, and a handful, b...

Re: Suzhou Foreign Language School, Suzhou, China
Except you are ASSuming that "Jake" and "kev7161" and "VocalRush" (me) are one and the same, which is a grossly false ASSumption. And you know what ASSuming does (leaning more towards YOU than me of course! LOL!)!!!! I don't think "kev7161" even gives a rat's...

Re: Suzhou Foreign Language School, Suzhou, China
Our readers will note that neither VocalRush aka Kev7161 or his other multiple personalities did not answer even one of the questions that were asked of him. In his silence we find his guilt.

Concerning the posts by VocalRush and Fischer, which appear to be in reality Kev7161 aka Jake of http://www.eslteachersboard.com, I picked up this post on another site. It struck me as an interesting, well-constructed post so I thought I might insert here. Again, I can take no claim for anything tha...

Hi guys. I'm a doctor of physics at Exeter Uni. I have had lecturer experience and I have also taught A level and GCSE physics in a private college but I have no formal teaching qualification. I'm thinking of dropping out. Heading to Bali then working my way overland to Vietnam. If I find somewhere...

Re: Suzhou Foreign Language School, Suzhou, China
The last post is a little bit incoherent, to speak politely. This is a BBS here, at least as it appears to many, and decidedly not an off-track betting establishment. We don't take bets here and surely not with total strangers. As I said before, previous employees were kind enough to furnish me with...

I would encourage all posters to carefully read the long thread about this school on http://www.raoulschinasaloon.com (Suzhou Foreign Language School -- particularly the last four pages of the thread). In reading this thread, one may note the intervention of Dr. P. Turnoi, one of the well-respected ...

Re: Georgia "dangers"
Dear Pintsoggin, From personal, personal experience, Russia is exceptionally dangerous and corrupt. As a foreigner, you will be "shaken down" by corrupt police probably at least once a week. If you don't pay up, you go to jail, or you land in a snow dump somewhere. China, for example, is a...

Re: Suzhou Foreign Language School, Suzhou, China
Because of the tremendous volume of negative posts that the school has received on the Internet, and given the late date in the hiring cycle, one can only conclude that the school may be having trouble reaching its hiring quota. Given what I have read all over the Internet, that is not surprising a...

Re: EF job in Indonesia – avoid or go for it?
Alex, Let me be of assistance here, please. EF Indonesia, depending upon which EF group, is actually a slight cut above EF in China, a big slight cut. But it depends upon the group. There is the EF Indonesia Group that does Djakarta and that part of the country (I can't remember the name of it) and ...

Dear Friend, Sorry, Heather, I am in China now and I have been here in a long time and I am a foreigner. Your answer is somewhat correct and somewhat erroneous. To the OP (original poster), It IS possible for you to find a job in China. NOT IN BEIJING, SHANGHAI, GUANGZHOU, CHENGDU, TIANJIN. There no...

Re: Dongpeng English Training Centre in China?
This is NOT a bona fide school. It has been written about all over the Internet and all over the Chinese press. They have a particularly nefarious reputation. Kiss your money good bye if you have sent it to this school. In China, never, ever, ever pay an agent money to secure a job for you. Not ever.

Re: Expected pay in China??
from top to bottom based upon experience. 1. Kindergartens pay the most these days in China. If you can find a decent kindergarten, it's a great way to sing-and-dance your way through China. RMB 8,000 - RMB 16,000 average range. 2. Primary schools can be a challenge. You are actually expected to tea...

You are in the middle of God's green acre at South China Normal University at Nanhai. The end of the world. You can take the subway to Foshan and bus to the school. The subway service is great; bus service is highly sporadic at best. TianHe to the Foshan on the metro is probaby 30-40 minutes on a go...

Re: Dongguan University of Technology located in Dongguan
Pay is slightly above-average for the greater Guangzhou area. Dongguan is just one endless line of belching smokestacks, the worst that Guangzhou has to offer. The school is a mixed bag. I have a had some friends who have stayed there for 2 - 4 years and others who have run away at the end of one te...
