i wouldnt take this contract. remember its 16 full hours so that could be around 25 classes a week.(if you have 5 classes thats not too bad but if its 25different classes/ages you will find yourself doing alot of extra work preparing lessons) theres nothing about office hours so you might get lucky. what about this garbage about completing the hours at a different location(they could farm you out to a school 2 hours away) 100rmb per hour for the 4 hours overtime seems pretty low. you may find ur boss shipping you out to schools another school that pays him 200rmb for an hour of ur time. I would want more details on the house too. sounds like a classic shoebox apt. the f visa will likely be fine, but its gonna make it a lot easier for the school to screw you over.

like others said, if you take this job just think of it as a stepping stone to bigger and better

Thank you everyone, you really helped, and made sense of it all, I emailed and turned it down before it got to the interview, they were cool with it. Onwards and upwards, it was a crap contract, I know that now! Thank you!!
