I've taught at University level in Japan 15 years and for four years in Korea at the University level.

I'm wondering why this job postings on Dave's which say they are colleges or universities have students which are from 15-18. That is high school age.

Or in the case of Shanghai University, they posted an opening for students which are from the ages of 15 to 18.

Is this some kind of cram school operating under the auspices of the university?

This posting is an example of what I am talking about...

I wonder if someone can tell me what these kind of jobs are like?

Thanks for your help

Nothing strange. Some colleges/universities prepare high school kids to go study in universities abroad. I know several former students now in their mid-teens attending "colleges" that offer western high school diplomas.

Quid pro quo. After so long in Japan and Korea, why the attention to China now?

I wonder what the pay would be for a job like that. Competitive pay can mean different things to different people.
