I can personally confirm the same story! In the past the teachers were given a direct contract with the schools that had a relationship with. You made money from the contract each month, usually 6000RMB, and the teachers worked part time for Victors school which he paid 150RMB directly after each class was finished which amounted to an extra 4000-6000 per month. Teachers were able to easily make more than 1wan per month. That was back in 2010. Now, they brainwash their teachers to believe they are becoming rich making 7000RMB per month. Teachers are no longer directly contracted to the schools they send you to, so they are making your 6000 per month and on top of that you'll have to work many classes for them each week which, plus tedious English corners which are mandatory 12 per month 1.5 hours each class. When was English corner ever a class? Your expected to spend money on materials which are the teachers personal bill no matter how small or how large, it's just not taken into consideration. In the past, teachers got paid for each English corner and they rotated their teachers, one week on, one week off! Currently they only employ one dumb person from long ago. The rest were smart and moved on because of the changes they have made! The longer you stay the more you lose, almost like a Casino! Their son is like a taskmaster from Egypt! A spoiled brat which ignorantly demands and pushes the teachers like dogs! What an asshole to deal with! His mother is however a very kind lady, generous and a heart of gold. It's a dirty shame that the school is now run like this due to a lack of tolerance with some of their teachers from Africa.
