Well, I think the review by “Englishman79” is very opinionated and kinda malicious to an extent.

I have a few friends working there and they do seem to be pretty happy with things. The school does have a pretty good reputation among foreigners in the city, better than most other ones I think. Ok, so why I am not there then? – I have no interest in teaching kids or teenagers! Plus there are way more school holidays to enjoy at public universities!

The fact of the matter is a lot people who post reviews here are those disgruntled former employees - usually those who came to China for “second lives”… I think the story here is rather one-sided, and I did hear about the story of a troublemaker who made quite a scene at the school, even in front of the students, when his contract was not extended in summer 2012 and he had a trouble getting a visa at his new employer who does not have a proper license to hire foreigners…

Rather than believing anyone, I would suggest anyone who just got a job offer from any school to ask to speak to a couple of its current teachers to get a truly balanced view.
