Dear Donald and Tom,
Great names! Trump and Sawyer?
But guys, if you want anyone to consider working for your agency, you must write comments that at least appear to be written by native language teachers. If you can't even write a believable bogus comment, how are you going to convince anyone to actually work for you?

Never work for Rockies English School. They fooled me and I felt really dissappointed. A good lesson for everyone who is looking for a job as English teacher in China. You should never accept the school if they say you should come with a tourist visa (L-visa) first. That is bullshit, it is just a way of getting more money. Rockies does the following with that: They'll notify the public schools they have a contract with that a new teacher has arrived, the public schools pay for the books etc etc. for about 5000 RMB to Rockies. Once they have received the money, you will be fired, so basically they just used you to cover for classes some other teacher couldn't do and you will be treated like crap. Thanks for nothing basically. First they give you a contract which didn't even state the start and end date, which already start you think about this place. I've been teaching for one week and they already decided to fire me after one week. I've spoken to other teachers at Rockies, everybody got a work permit before they arrived and never got in China with a tourist visa first. That's bullshit. You aren't allowed to work with a tourist visa in China, if the immigration catches you, you are screwed.

If you want to teach in China, you should pay attention to the following things:
- Are they covering for your flight going to China and your return ticket?
- They should provide you an appartment free of charge with salary, you shouldn't get into one of Rockies appartments, because basically they charge rent of 350 RMB per week, which shouldn't be done at all.
- Make sure all the legal documents for a work permit are complete and the school you'll work for has done this.
- Identify if the contract any school in China gives you is a solid and a good looking contract (if it is says, accomodation allowance, that is bullshit, it is just included your salary, if you get sick one day, you will not get the 'bonus' of 1000 RMB, so your salary will be reduced
- If they promise they'll arrange a z-visa for you, it should be done before you go to China, never go with a tourist visa first. Then you can ignore this school
- Make sure that on the first day you arrived in China, one of your Chinese colleagues will help you to register at a police station, this is a must, if they don't, you should question yourself, is this a good school?

I made a big mistake and you should be really careful. So never choose Rockies English School. Try to find a teaching job at a private school, which are much better. At public schools, the teachers are not teachers, they just play with their phones. And the assistant that joins your classes (assistant is usually from Rockies) is not even a qualified teacher, they always have criticsm about your teaching style while they are not even teachers for god's sake!! How do they know? And the weird thing is, my manager said that one of my assistants is not a good assistant, so why do you keep her employed at Rockies then. Rockies should fire her too then, but no, they fire the foreigner, because they like to make abuse of you and they are litterally slave drivers. They do not even cover the hours you make from going to school A to school B, which a good school should cover for.

So everyone, let this be a lesson not just for me, but everyone. Do not immidiately accept the first teaching job, look for more and then select the one you think is best

Good luck!!
