Does anyone have any information as to this agency Armstong Hilton

[IanMWashburn]

They aren't an agency, but rather a CLT company.

They're small. The staff were friendly and helpful. The other trainers were too.

They paid as agreed, in cash, and managed to find quality client-companies.

My experience with them was limited.

But based on my few months with them on this one CLT Contract, I'd say they are what they say they are.

One note: Probably you should be an experienced, professional CLT trainer, to have the best possible time with them. There wasn't a lot of guidance and supervision.

Hope this helps.

Thanks..but one question. What is a CLT company. The job I am considering is for after the Spring Break and is at a University. Can they offer a z visa or an RP legally. What was the pay like.

[IanMWashburn]

CLT stands for "Corporate Language Training".

Pay was industry standard at 200 RMB per hour plus taxi fare to client-company.

I was unaware that ARMSTRONG HILTON contracts with universities.

I worked out of their Shanghai offices.

Be sure that any organization you're dealing with in China is what they say they are.

As you can tell from these threads, China is a veritable snake pit of lies, deception and double-dealing.

But other than that, it can be interesting, challenging and enriching.

200 an hour for going to a company to teach English is not great in Shanghai. You got to figure in transportation time and prep time . These classes are multilevel so difficult to teach and requiring more prep time .

Thanks I will double check.
