| Interesting in that they have been around quite a while and very little on them at all doing Google searches. Generally a good thing as you know in that they are not popping up on blacklists and warning posts. Some positions advertised over the years and some resumes and linkedin posts from former teachers. |

| I found out about the school, management is good but the hours are not traditional. They advertised 9 hours but really you teach 42 classes. Some are 30 minutes but the others are primary. The pay is low and they have not been able to fill the position for 3 years. The benefits are great, you work 10 days then get 4 days off. Standards are high for teaching so you must please the students. Not quite a laid back environment, but the location is excellent. They have brand new facilities but again the schedule is not for faint of heart only because you go straight without a day off. People are wonderful and fair but they have had 2 teaachers for 6 and 10 years straight. |

| I must admit that I learned a lot in Dongguan, but never at any school! |
