Listen,
If you really want to know the truth....
EV is a best of 3 shit choices in this area. All the companies in this area are shit.
Why is EV SHIT
1. Don't follow or respect contract
2. Housing is small, or what ever they can find cheap.
3. Helen will never answer your questions, if she does it is a lie. Will only tell you what you want to hear.
4. They only care about money..... plain and simple.
5. The assistants are shit, they gossip about all the teachers, spy on you, and tell the company every thing you do.

these are just a few. I could tell you more. Things other teachers tell me and others. The truth is it is a terrible company. But it is the best in Yuncheng.
The others are full of blacks who's English is terrible (most of the blacks will tell the Chinese they are Americans, lie). And yes, I know this to be a fact. I have been to their parties, I have
been to their company events. Example: Christmas party this year for Ielts, 3 white people and 10 blacks. I saw the group pictures. I would say if you want to teach in China. Don't come to Yuncheng. All the companies are shit, and only care about money. You are a tool for them, and when your usefulness is up or you are no longer needed they replace you. I will not or would not recommend this company or any local company to a foreigner. Stay away, run.

That's the truth!!!!!!!!

If you are saying, and I think you are, that only native born English Speakers should teach oral English, you obviously couldn't be more right; otherwise,the Chinese students are being short-changed; and anyway teaching oral English should be a birthright for all first language English speakers, irrespective of holding a degree or not. However, these blacks cannot be blamed for trying their hand and earning a decent wage; and even lying about their origins. I blame the Chinese bosses for hiring them in the first place; having seen all their ID's, qualifications and passports, they will know exactly where they originate. The Africans to the man are perfectly legal and have attended universities in Africa- and have 'proper' degrees.....well they are legal..yet any sewer worker from Northern England will have a thousand times more English at his command than, a degree in English African.

Mind you, I still say, that schools like Yuncheng IELTS and English Village can be good starter schools for newbie FT's.
