Well and WECL are indeed the same thing. I have seen this Belinda person in GZ and know she spends most of her time in Xiamen. The reason for the name change is they are illegal in GZ. Your visa will be from Xiamen, but, wrong province so you will be working illegally. friend of mine worked there - he lived in a student dorm with no AC for 2 years. He was supposedly DOS and full time teacher for a mere 6500. He did endless free recruiting. The Canadian couple referenced above were desperately scrabbling for parttime teachers last year, as they were covering all the classes after other teachers quit in disgust. They got no takers because of the terrible local reputation, the paltry salary, and the illegality. If these conditions appeal to you - go ahead, otherwise avoid like the plague.
Further - they have/had very few students while i was in the loop - I guess that may have changed, but the quality was low. They had no problem mixing adults with 12 year olds. The turnover in Chinese staff was staggering - another sign of a rudderless ship - it is a bad, bad place to work |
Do you remember which university dorm your friend lived in? Why did he stay for two years if the working conditions were so terrible?
According to their website, they have three locations in Guangzhou. They told me that the adults and kids go to different campuses. Also I was told that I would be only teaching adults and not children.
I really appreciate your input on this. Any further information would be great. |
