How very convincing! SInce there are dozens of "Shanghai Education Bureaux", we only need to know which one rates this school as "one of the top five" best learning centres...

A worthwhile note of caution above.

I have heard of them here in SH but nothing beyond the name.
They pay well enough but I note they don't offer accommodation.

What about a Z visa? (rather than a business visa?)

You will work weekends and after hours of course because that is the nature of their business.

If you are happy with the $ & etc, why don't you say you will sign/accept the contract subject to these questions being asked.
Then state your questions...

They probablly have 25 other hopefuls whose questions they need to answer.

However, the Z visa is 110% needed. Be certain of that.

I went to see these guys recently. They're a mess. They've grown very quickly and have no concept of teaching or teaching quality. If you're stuck for work, however, they will offer you a job - I get the impression that they will take anyone at the moment.

There's a more lengthy review of their practices on my site. You can check it out here:

Given the post already here, as well as the one I linked to, you could probably do better elsewhere.
