they think they can cheat you because so many foreigners do nothing

the small claims court is very useful as a last resort, this school is not very powerful and the tax office will punish them

the Chinese teachers in these schools often are related to the bosses and take all the bonuses such as open classes
some even earn more than foreigners

what is illegal and legal in China is a grey area but Meten is one of the dirtiest private schools in China
Others such as Webi and not much better

But what they do with the visas for full time staff is crazy, not even a business visa

Meten English in YJP Chongqing was raided by the police in April 2015 and Shapingba in Chongqing in 2014

Douglass H[edited] a British national was caught working on a Wuhan visa in CQ

Also Meten has a teens programme which only uses part time teachers so all are illegal and 3 part time teachers were caught working illegally, one american , one african and one other

The teacher caught in Shapingba was deported his information is on the police website

Meten now hires young teachers with no degree or work history because it can pay them less and make them dancing clowns. I was getting 2000 more than other teachers in the centre I worked in because I asked for more! And said I wound not sign unless I got more!

However when I left I checked with the tax office and there is no record of my tax being paid and my housing was deducted tax which is tax free!

Also i was never given a wage slip and my final salary was wrong, I think my flight allowance was taxed but that is tax free too and they don't send any tax to the tax office

Meten also made us work in a local high school once or 3 times a week which is illegal . In China now you can only work for a school if your work visa is from them directly.

You can sue Meten for one months salary for every year you have worked for them a teacher in Chongqing did this and the local manager was fired and no teacher was sent to the high school again

You should go to the local court pay 25 RMB and sue them for up to 10,000 or report the illegals or just tell their rivals

They are so stupid they put every students phone number on the class list!

Meten has teachers working in Shenzhen, Xian and other cities on Chonqging and Wuhan visas this is how they expanded so quickly

There is an American called Taylor corrently working in Shapingba Chonqing on a Wuhan visa and many more

their teen course is a copy of English Firsts courses and uses illegal teachers

I was paid 11,000 plus 1500 housing in Chonqqing don't work for less they are desperate to hire skilled teachers

you should also get 500 more for every year you work there

But they work you to death you can earn more money working for a university and doing part time work

The students feed back is all fixed and head-office knows it, local managers or messengers between the boss use it to get rid of teachers who try to improve things and make them look bad. Local managers were fired in Chonqqing. They fixed teacher of the month and even gave Chinese teachers all the coffee coupons to boast their scores. And now students don't even bother to score teachers the SAs do it at the end of the month so ignore those things. Its just about ego stroking and controlling teachers

Meten in going down hill fast, adults don't want their condescending , let me tell you how to eat, think , bla bla , let me talk about America for 50 mins terrible classes

meet a foreigner classes are for farmers not so called up market schools selling english to middle class educated people

They insult Chinese people and teacher be glad you got out of there

And remember to report them in person to the PSB or go to the court and sue them
