Captain Hook I am a long, long timer here in China, and I know most of the large Chain schools. While Aston is not the worst, it is far from the best.

If your new here, my advice is to avoid private schools and work for a University or a public school. If you still wish to work for a private outfit, you could do worse than Aston. At the same time, you could do better. Unfortunately, finding better in the private sector is very, very hard.

First off, Aston requires that you share a place with another person. Cheap employer, don't work for them.

Two, they don't pay very well though they ask you to work a lot of hours.

Taking these two things into accound, you still could do worse. All in all though, your best looking at Public school, not places like Aston.
