Hello all

I'm brand new [ please be nice ] and don't know to much about these forums and how they work - let alone what teaching English in china is like
So I'm hoping someone can help me out. Has anyone heard of or worked through eslteachersassociation.china? Are they a legit outfit? I've tried to find some info on-line but there really isn't much.
Another thing I'm wondering about: what are the differences between private and public schools in China? Is there a massive difference in salary, benefits, and working hours? [I'm told class size is a huge difference but that students are relatively well behaved so larger classes may be daunting but are quite manageable - still pretty nervous though]
Any advice/help would be most welcome

Thanks for your time
