Has anyone had any teaching experiences at the proficent kindergarten and primary school in Guangzhou?
It sounds like long hours 8.00am - 12.00 and 2.30pm - 6.00pm each day and 8.00am - 11.00am on Sat. The pay seems ok at 8000RMB.
Any feedback?

I know this school and can say that I was treated extremely nicely by their management. I did a stint at their Fangcun kindergarten, then was transferred to their primary school in the same district of Guangzhou for a summer camp.
They also have a kindergarten in Chencun, which is 20 kms out of town. There they had a westerner with his Chinese wife; he put in 4 hours a day, while his wife had to work a lot longer, for considerably less.
I suppose, you will have to be physically present but not have to teach such long hours.
Once more: I was really happy there, and have remained in personal touch with some of their staff.
Lovely kids, nice parents; the Fangcun kindergarten is well-equipped, located near an underground station.
