I would just like to say that I work for Bill currently, for Sage Education Group/ Songyuan Foreign Studies (He has two names registered) and have been working in his school for a while now and he Is a fantastic employer and boss. I've only had a great experience here and Bill will bend over backwards to help foreign teachers to settle in and feel at home. The pay is very fair, the accommodation is great. Bill and his school has unfortunately ended up with some rather sour teachers over the last few years who are not really willing to try to understand the Chinese way of running things, yes it is not always like living in England/US/Canada etc.....but this is why we should try to understand the cultural differences rather than become negative and start to blame people. Also I see some of the complaints on here come from individuals who can barely string a coherent English sentence together. This one particular individual complained that his/her visa took long to receive, it is no simple process to get such a visa in China, even Korea or Japan, you will find the same processes which take a long time, especially if you come from specific countries. This is the norm, not the schools fault. I have never been 'cheated' as some people complain about. One thing I do know is that I've heard horror stories about foreign teachers here who have behaved really badly, don't take there job seriously and who have probably been over pampered in their home countries. Some teachers even came close to physically assaulting the Chinese assistants who are the sweetest girls. If you behave badly, surely this should reflect in the way you are treated in return in the form of your pay? I know that warnings are always issued first in such cases too. Anyways if anyone reads this and is considering applying for a position with Sage, please feel free to contact me and I will shed some light for you.
