Has anyone heard of this school http://www.eslcafe.com/joblist/index.cgi?read=13383?

Seems they are affiliated with Tsinghua University.? Has anyone worked there? I'm thinking of going to work in Shenzhen.

Help, if you can.

Thanks,
Bob

I'm always wary of employers who ask for all of your documents before even looking at your resume. "only complete applications will be processed", they say.

Besides, they're pay is low for Shenzhen; this school has been advertizing on http://www.eslteachersboard.com fo some time now.[/url]

I taught there a year ago and its a pretty good school except for the pay. Thats why I left.
The school is modern and there were 17 foreign teachers there at that time.
They stcik to the contract but the work load is quite big for the pay. I used to teach 21 classes in 3 days.
The apartments are nice and have all the necessary equipment. I would have stayed but 5000 is quite low for Shenzhen. As the school is in Baoan its a bit off the beaten track. Over 1 hour by bus from Futian.
The students are pretty much the same as everywhere else. Some are motivated and others are not. As it is a boarding school many students live on campus or in tao yuan ju which is the apartment complex next to the school. Transport by bus is regular to most inner city places in Shenzhen such as Nanshan and Luohu.
I did enjoy being there but I though the pay was too low.
