You post in two websites, this and eslwatch.info. I think you just couldn't handle the life in Beijing. Expertise Education was the best choice I made at coming to work in China, I worked for almost 2 years. Work visa, TEFL certification and adequate housing. You were after a free lunch and you hated the taste , its your fault so get over it.
Now, I am Director of Studies at EF Education First in Shanghai with a good reference from Expertise Education i'm earning three times the amount. So stop posting lame pathetic lies about this company because of your own problems.

Same old GW talk, trying to label their victims as the weak that could not handle it... Well, nobody wins any prizes for accepting bullshit, like the pain-loving masochist that their company would want them to be. In fact, I have far more respect for those who dare to make their true feelings known and stand up to abusive bosses.

Before you try to declare me to be somebody who doesn't know what they are talking, I actually have previously lived and worked in Beijing.

Sure, due to my job at the time, I was provided with far more luxurious accommodation than most people on a teaching salary can afford (a luxury serviced apartment managed by a 5 star hotel), but I am very familiar with the ups and downs of Beijing life, was faced with long journeys to several destinations around the city and high living costs, but the living and working conditions which that poster described is not in any way what I would describe as reasonable in any way at all.

By the way, nobody with any knowledge of the ESL industry in China regards EF as reputable company, they even got a lot of negative publicity on CCTV News, lol.
