AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS

-CINDY ZHANG
-DALE SHENG
-MR YIN (THE OWNER)

Be especially careful of CINDY ZHANG.
She will constantly remind you that she is your "friend" and ask to borrow money from you that will not be returned.

They are crooks and purposely withheld my last month's salary because they knew my visa would be expiring and that I had to return to America. They also forced me to do a demonstration for other teachers in Jinan on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day without choice and did not pay for it. Cindy Zhang never reimbursed me for my completely bogus visa "tourist extension" either. They lie about everything, I cannot make that more clear.

-They do NOT offer anything other than Tourist L/M visas
-They are NOT contactable while you are in China
-They do NOT reimburse you for medical exams/visas/etc.
-They do NOT help you at your school -- even if you are the only English-speaking teacher at a poor rural high school. You are left on your own to negotiate, which is pretty hard if you don't know how to scream in Chinese.
-They do NOT have a real office. When I went to the demonstration to give a model class, the "Cultural Institute" was just a sign nailed to a steel wall on the Jinan traffic police.
-They WILL ask for money and not return it.

That's the gist of it all.
