BE VERY CAREFUL OF EDISON YE, Shanghai/Songjiang. EET Songjiang, MAJOR ENGLISH scam franchise, Ping Cheng teaching visas for sale. Ping Cheng is a bankrupt school for teaching Japanese. To use a work visa sold to a teacher from from Ping Cheng via Edison Ye and then be sent to other schools by Edison Ye, means your illegal and can be arrested, fined and deported. You can only work for a school if you have a work visa from that school.
Firstly I would like to say, It would be very nice if the Chinese authorities extensively investigate the activities of Mr Edison Ye. His activities would require many months of investigating etc but they should be investigated and his behavior stopped.

Those teachers either working in Shanghai or thinking of coming to Shanghai to teach need to be very careful of the following which offer teaching jobs, a work visa or even offer to sell a school franchise called MAJOR ENGLISH. The main person behind the scam is a Mr Edison Ye ( he also uses a Chinese fake Doctor Name which translates to Mr "protect English YE" ). He is from Shanghai but very active in the Songjiang city area, accepting teaching job applicants and selling them a work visa starting from around a thousand rmb up to 3,000rmb but no full time teaching jobs. He likes to hire you out to other schools, companies, public schools which in effect means you are working illegally as your visa is not from those schools. He has connections with EET schools in Pudong, Shanghai and claims to have bought a franchise name from them. They in return say EET stopped any connections with him in 2009. By the way the teaching visa he will sell to you is from Ping Cheng which is in fact a bankrupt Japanese language school. It is unknown if he owns the Ping Cheng school license or simply pays the owners a percentage of the money he makes through using the Ping Cheng name. He still uses the EET English schools name as and when it pleases him and EET in Pudong, Shanghai do nothing about it. Some evidence exists online that suggests that MAYBE EET Pudong/Shanghai is one of his original scams, he certainly seems close to them dating back to 2003. They sold school franchise names around China but the school franchises were not allowed to legally employ foreign teachers, which brings us directly back to the work VISA for sale scam again.

He has also been assisting other illegal language schools by letting them employ foreign teachers from him ( through the visa for sale scam) and even letting them use the EET school name in an effort to confuse local city Chinese police. E.G EKD Business English Agency/Linda Chai the owner, runs this b license set up as if it is a full licensed language school, Edison Ye uses the EET name and Ping Cheng school license to send teachers to illegally work for her. KDC ( Canadian ) actually participates knowingly in these illegal activities and should eventually get caught by the Chinese police. Edison Ye is currently offering for sale online school franchise called MAJOR ENGLISH, which claims connections to a foreign language professor, Buckswood boarding school, England, Cambridge university, names experienced ESL teachers, education institutes in various countries, none of the claims are even remotely true. The MAJOR ENGLISH franchise web site is a ringer for the so called EET schools franchise web sites, which they post on other websites but the advert is designed to look like a website. EET has been doing this with connections to Mr Ye since 2003. MY SINCERE ADVICE TO YOU = if you want to work in China avoid the scam merchants mentioned in this post, they are very clever and deceptive. I am with help from other teachers, currently gathering evidence which will eventually be given to the city government.
