hi all.
i am currently working in Guangdong but considering a move to Xiamen in the coming year. if anyone has any information regarding average salaries/ good school recommendations/ living costs etc i would be grateful.

i have heard about a school called Kings International English and would like to know more about them if possible.

i currently earn 6-7 thou a month and would like to stick to that or preferably improve it. i also prefer jobs which provide accommodation as i find it easier.

my experience is in language centres as opposed to public schools (but i am open to either) and i have some experience teaching a range of different ages (from 3yrs old to adults).

thank you

Kings is a language mill. From what I gather, though this was a few years ago, they can't get you legal working docs.

Here's an old thread

hmmm so it doesn't look good then. thanks for showing me that one. i am not down for the illegal working.
although that was from a few years ago - pre-olympics and east asian games- so maybe they have upped their game a little. i wonder if there is anyone currently working for them who i could get more recent info from? some of their info looked good in their job adverts- though i am well aware that they always do.
