This employment package forwarded to the foreign teacher is a summary of what is offered to the teacher by the school in return for his/her services

25-30 hours is A LOT of classes. When it says 25-30, you always have to figure they will make you work 30, although you could get lucky. 30 classes a week will burn out the average teacher in a year. However, a lot depends if you are teaching the same class again and again throughout the week (easier but mind-numbing), or if you must prep for many different kinds of classes.

I'm a little confused by the salary. 8000+ is not great pay for the work you will put in, but not terrible either. But if that does not include housing, forget it! If it is 5500 + housing, don't even consider it. They are taking advantage of the teachers. Salaries are MUCH better than this in Guangzhou.

Accom is pretty clearly provided BUT those hours!!
Class size could be an issue if you only see each class once a week for 40 mins.
Seems that one lesson would stretch over two meetings.
I would ask for a typical timetable and look for the number of classes ie groups of students taught in a week.
Remember preparation time is on top of face to face time.
More info please, but at first sight...

[YAMARI]

too many classes. never take a job with too many classes unless they throw buckets of money at you. one shouldnt come to china to make little cash and work too much.

lol....anything with no Western toilets would make me think they are not really set up to receive foreigners. But hey...some like to squat!

[dharma86]

The hours are enough to put me off that job! No way, it would be very difficult especially if you have those rich parent kids, as it is an International School.
