Hello all,
I am new to this forum and I am doing some research on teaching in China. I met with two recruiter about teaching, one was Sino-American Culture Association (Based in Sacramento) and Franklin recruiting. Does anyone know if they are reputable recruiters? From what I understand the one recruits mainly in Shenzhen and the other in the Shandong province. So any information (good/bad experiences etc...) from either area would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to keep my questions too vague but, I can't help it. Finally are there any jobs teaching oral english to Chinese scientists? The reason I ask is because I am graduating with a degree in the sciences (Genetics and Bio-Anthropology) this June and many of my Chinese teaching assistants could have used help pronouncing English terms.

Thanks All

PS: I know it's nerdy to ask but are there any Eagle Scouts out there who work with the Chinese Boy Scouts (Is there a Chinese Boy Scouts)?

If you use a recruiter, you should never pay them any money (the school does) never sign a contract with them (sign with the school direct) Make sure you talk to some of the curent foreign teachers direct, and the FAO direct.

I would tend to be doubtful about your cahnces to teach english to the scientists. You might possibly teach grad students.


I would be strongly surprised to find boyscouts in China. They do have the young pioneers, or whatever, a communist young person organization.

Shenzhen is near Hongkong.

Shandong Province is where Confuscius was born, raised and lived his hermit ( ) life.

Think it over.
