Has anyone on here worked for, is currently working for, or heard anything about DD Dragon English schools? I'm trying to find a good, reputable school that I can teacher in in Shanghai and came across their website.
Are there any schools that any of you can recommend?
Thanks! |

Yes, Mr X used to work for Dragon and his experience was "Google" and used to say all the time that he and many of his coworkers found the school to be "Google" .. |

He means that you should do a search for information yourself - perhaps on www.google.com
The DDDragon schools seem okay. There are both positive and negative things said about them which is pretty typical of most schools. Everyones experiences will be different. One of the comments that does recurr is that they are well organized.
Importantly there is no complaints about malicious activities, illegal work, or non-payment of wages and they are the things you really best look out for. Problems with actual working conditions such as hours, pay rates, accomodation etc can generally be worked out prior to signing a contract if you research positions well and use some common sense.
If you are looking at the school in Songjiang you will find that it is a bit out of the way as far as convenience goes so you won't be in a position to go bar hopping every night! |
