In response to Re: Omeida Language College in Yangshuo (Trevor Furner)

Dear Trevor, I will try to sum it up for you & your wife in a few points:

  • Students are mostly spoiled brats from rich families, who expect to be entertained. They are abusive, superficial, immature and wasteful. Failure to entertain well will draw complaints, which will probably be used as a pretext to reduce your salary or not to pay your airfare. Students are encouraged to make unjustified/whingeing complaints about you. Proof of all this is lies in the fact that you will not be allowed to respond to complaints (ie both sides of the story.) It would be called racist bullying in the west!

  • No staff at omeida have any care for or knowledge of education. You will not receive any professional support, course materials, aims/goals or anything like that.

  • The "school" is located in the centre of Yangshuo's red light district, where fights/rapes have occured, and probably will continue to occur during your stay.

  • The wages are pretty low. It is very unrewarding work and not real teaching.

    • That covers it. Odar doesn't even use the standard SAFEA contract. More info available if needed, but I hope the above will suffice.

    Ex-tc.
