Fellow teachers,

Please be aware of an ad that was posted yesterday by Phoebe from Outstanding American Preschool in Shanghai. This is the same woman and school that have been written about numerous times on here. First off she is not authorized to hire foreigners and will give you an F visa, if she does give you a Z visa it is from a company that doesn't exist. When you leave her school she will not give you your letter of release as she is not supposed to hire foreigners. The last male teacher from Australia had serious problems with this when it came time for him to get a new job.

She is nothing but a liar and one of the most deceiving people you will ever meet. You will have trouble with the housing she provides (filthy and cold), getting paid and trying to take your holidays. She constantly is asking you to do favours and travel here and there. You will also never get a straight answer from her about anything.

Do yourself a favour and stay away from this school it is located in the Putuo district of Shanghai and its owner......
