Cool you'll be in Yuncheng round about Spring Festival. Yuncheng is a fine city, and another poster has supplied reasonably current information that suggests the ielts company will return to its former glory come next academic year. I say so coz contracts between agents and schools will be finalized at the start of an academic year rather than midway through, as parents will gladly pay the extra fees to the schools along with the other fees at the beginning of an academic year.
I've done my due diligence, and wish to teach alongside a TA at a state school in China, even though that will necessarily be on a reduced salary due to the TA's presence. My priority is teaching well, not maximizing my salary, and a TA is the way to go in that respect in my view.
Impart the latest, please. Thanks for responding to my initial post.
