Not true, I tried to defend that company, but to no avail. I still regard it as an average employer, though a good one for newbies without teaching experience who wish to learn the ropes.
Treining centres and some private schools here are much worse. Oh, and Yuncheng IELTS is good for older teachers who cannot get jobs easily due to ageism and the Chinese employment regulations. Salary levels aren't paramount with many of them, 5000 a month, but no end of term holiday pay is fine in their eyes - you see, they are getting pensions from their homelands in addition!
Too much snobbery on this board re workplaces and qualifications, I'm sorry to say! Typical Western attitudes, understandable though short-sighted.

I recall another Scot, Ian Mc---something, waxing all lyrical about IELTS- went by "Ian is an excellent teacher." Were you Ian, because as I recall you did change your name half way through that campaign? You say you defended them to no avail- on the contrary, then they had about 20 teachers (FT's) but now, as you revealed yesterday, they have a staggering 35. Did you refer some Poles and Russians there to bolster their numbers?

Anyway, I son't agree with you, I think they're everything we should be fighting against, a ruthless recruiter-placement agent.
