Hi there

I've worked with BSK for quite some time now. I haven't had any problem with them.

They pay quite well, always on time.

They offer textbooks, flashcards, CDs, pacing schedules, and teaching assistants for your classes.

Visa, flight re-imbursement, no headaches.

I know quite a few other teachers there. Nobody seems unhappy.

I'm signing with them again.

Hope that helps.

I did accept and I decided on Qing-pu because I want to save money and the housing is paid for. Maybe I will meet you soon.

11,000 for 25 classes, 12,900 for 30 classes and 14,000 for 35 classes. no office time.. just teach and go home.
Housing is included in Qing-pu, some allowance for another city and you have to pay for housing in Shanghai.

Thnx

I'm hearing very schizophrenic reports about this school on the Cafe. Is it a good school or not?

Your help is appreciated.

Cheers! Very Happy

I am not sure if it is good or bad... but Worpt emailed me and gave me a lot of information. Anytime I send an email to BSK, I always get a response. I have read some bad things but most were from years back so maybe things are better these days. I am not sure. I am going to take my chances and go for it!
