Hi, I've just been offered a job with them in Shenzen through Click China Cultural Exchange Co., Ltd. and I just wanted to know if the'ye reliable or if someone had experience with them. They have a website with a bunch of job lists in them and they were willing to contact me with foreign teachers who work there. I just wanted to ask if someone has an experience with them. Also I'm a newbie a don't know much about Shenzen China, they're offering 9000rmb per month with 2500rmb for rent. Is that livable in Shenzen? Thank you in advance for answering my quesions

Hello, I just thought I'd remark that I too am pondering an offer from them, and recently posted a question very like yours.
All I can say is they seem to have a good reputation. Would you agree?

Pm me for more information.

Why not just state the information?

I worked with the company for a year and 3 months and during that time I was moved to 3 different schools. I also had to move my housing three times. Everyone has a different experience so if you hear about a good one do not take this to be the same for everyone.

I will say right now there are little to no Americans. The majority of the staff are from England or non natives. So when people post saying they had a great experience and received help when needed. This is because they had no other options anywhere else and of course they take a Russian but no Africans so blacks are not sought after.


You are working for the agency not the school, but the agency knows nothing about the school they place you at. If you have problems they will never tell you and will just keep moving you around. I stayed to avoid having to get the letter of release. I do not advise for anyone with options. As for housing me and 3 others had private apt but those from England shared with up to 7 people. In the beginning for about 6 months I was living in a hotel which was decent, had to eat out everyday gaining lots of weight.


This agency is recommended for those that are over 50 which was the majority of the few blacks and any other teacher. Also if you have never had a job and did not get a degree or cannot speak English.

I may also have some pretty passionate things to say about them depending on what happens in the next week.

A couple weeks in, I feel like giving them pretty good marks. I think the difficulties I've had with them have just been in the normal range of Chinese chaos. I will also note that I have not noticed the problems that nubianqueen mentioned. The group of teachers is quite diverse, including at least one black African among the new recruits. I'm also not aware of teachers getting moved around from school to school.
