USA teacher - 2006-03-04

BEWARE the posting for Harry's International English in Nanjing. It is a New Zealand-based company. They boast they are leaders in corporate English training, but they NEVER supplied me with teaching material. When I was a full-time teacher for them, I developed all my lessons myself. They also offer an apartment to teachers, and I believe this was true for teachers before me, but I was not provided an apartment, and was never offered one. The primary reason for writing this message is to warn other foreign teachers that while the owner in New Zealand is a good guy (although I never met him), the company manager in Nanjing, Nancy Wang, is a nightmare! She can't speak or write English and has NO UNDERSTANDING of English teaching or how to have professional, or ethical relationships with foreigners. When I resigned from Harry's International English, according to the specific terms of my contract, she later refused to pay me for some days on my contract citing (in her words): "Be the manager, I can decide to this." This event occurred after I had continued teaching for them for another month after giving full notice of resignation. The salary was paid only after I informed the company owner in New Zealand. I advise foreign teachers to avoid working for Harry's International English as long as Nancy Wang is the manager. While working for Harry's, I was the only full tyime teacher. It seems they only can keep one teacher (at best) at a time.
