Hi, I would like to talk about the bad experience of working at St. John's English school. They have 3 schools in Zhoushan. One in Dinghai, one in Lincheng and one in Donggang. The bosses of the school are Jake and Cherry. The boss is very unreasonable, and would often walk into the teachers provided house uninvited. He would just walk in the teachers house without knocking or without telling you he would be coming. In the span of one year, I have been payed late almost every time. There would also be deductions on the paycheck that would not be explained to the teacher, so your pay was always a different amount each month. Several times I would be asked to teach a class at a primary school 10 minutes before actually going there, so there was no time at all to prepare any kind of a lesson. We only get 1 day off per week, which makes it virtually impossible to travel anywhere during your time off. I was also working more hours than was stated in my contract. Another thing is they would use recycled paper for lesson plans that had previous teachers passport details on the back. Anyone could use these if they wanted to do identity theft. Now that my 1 year contract is over I am moving on. Please stay away from this school in Zhoushan.
