Hi Henry. I worked at Yangzhou Web from 07/09-05/10. The teachers then were ok, named Alan, Alan (Australian), Emmett, Nick, and an Indian/Canadian guy, and myself, Greg. Tracy the franchise owner has an excessive beliefs about how teachers should be; they allowed no media sources for Social Club lessons. Teachers were forced to draft PPTs, without any repetition of topic for one entire year. The students were overall happy with us, but I was transferred to the Shanghai school, in part because I requested it. As soon as I left, Alan from Australia left, only one month later, because he said they had pushed him around. Shanghai was not this way for anyone who wants to teach for Web. Some Webs are franchised, as is Yangzhou. And she runs it in a restrictive way. The Chinese Tutors actually told the students to speak CHINESE when in the office, so that their conversations with the students would be private from the foreign teachers. When I told staff in Shanghai about this, they could not believe it. I was pretty appalled. Tracy wants the teachers to do everything as she thinks ideal, but she doesn't listen to teachers. She goes by any info she can collect from students. Tutors and Chinese are very us and them, and it feels like they are working against the foreign teachers, and thinking they know better about education. Many teachers come and go from there, and I can tell you why.
