ask for the native teachers' email
then fire away all your questions to them and hopefully they will answer honestly
you could ask about the school - start time/finish time, if there is additional work besides teaching, Saturdays work, if classes are curriculum based, do you need to make your own curriculum, etc
also ask about housing - where is the housing, how far from the school, any notable places nearby (subway, supermarket, etc) |

All of this, and I hope you know what age students you'll be teaching. 2.0 is a little low, but if the answers to the above make you happy, it could easily be worth it.
The OP's post is ancient, do you have more info, mattdemers? |

I'm going to get some emails from current teachers. Just waiting for an email from my recruiter. I'll keep you up to date and post the email response from the current teachers. Were you offered a position there as well comm? |
