No nights or weekends are noted in contrat, maybe this is a plus. The contact at teachingjobs.com made it , along with the contrart, sound simple with 20 teaching hrs a week. Oral English only.

You must be new to this game. Above is a contract from where you want to work detailing what they want. Teachingjobs.com is a Global recruiter and as such their contract will be short on details.

From the add above they are asking quite a bit and you could even be doing travel jobs outside of the university. They are expecting 5 to 10 hours a week of preparation so that says that they want proper teachers plus they are paying 7,000 RMB a month which is somewhat up market. Also they are talking about Oral/Written College level English courses. They also talk about evening and Weekend work. To top it the pay rate for overtime is very small.

You need to get on the phone and speak to them and clear things up.
