If you go to http://china-tesol.com/Approved_Agents/approved_agents.html you will find the list of all the APPROVED agencies in China. My association, the IEEA, is listed there and we enjoy a wonderful record here in Hainan Province. Visit two online photo albums: http://members9.clubphoto.com/eddie466575/2727044/guest.phtml

Agencies can help you when difficulties arise. They cannot PREVENT trouble since China isnt a country rule by law. However, approved agencies have contacts with the provincial education bureaus and through these contacts most problems are solved. You dont come to China for money or comfort. You usually come to China for educational or humanitarian reasons. For those who need substantial salary, China isnt the place to teach. If your comfort zone is limited, than China isnt the place to live. China is usually reserved for those who have no monetary restrictions or can endure hardships. Sorry if some of you dont fit into that category.

Fellow teacher in Hainan, Eddie
