Housing provided? How many classroom hours? What are you expected to do outside the classroom? Tier 2 or 3 city? Paid during vacation?

A thread named 'Job Offer Checklist' has recently been refreshed. It has been around for a couple of years.

Not enough details but sounds like you could negotiate a better deal from the info provided.

it is 19.5 teaching hrs and 20 in the university doing prep etc
holidays paid only minimum

So around 26 classes a week? The salary is too low for the amount of work they expect and the location is terrible. Keep looking!
