I totally and completely agree with the following from 'The Whistleblower' and I would also like to add that Larry (one of the owners) makes regular visits to Allestra Recruiting to see the owner with whom [eidted] (not commonly known but I am inside their company and in a position to know!) and has a [edited] agreement with her (for the moment I will not reveal her name) for recruitment. He has also arranged a fake TESOL certification course for which he charges US$300 from each of their new victims. HE splits this with her but takes the lions share. He and Jacky together with Michael K are complete scum, theives, immoral, lying, cheating, malicious, and viscious (I have seen this from personal experience as they do hurt people and refuse to pay salaries if you are not 100% subservient and obediance is not open seen). They fired a very highly qualified man with a PhD who seriously cared about the teachers and students and challenged them. THey stole his salary, made life very difficult in documentation for him to get another job, were malicious, and tried to get him arrestred by the Police... who they pay regularly (I'm an eye witness to this) and threatened him with gang/hired violence. I hope he's okay as he is a great teacher anbd someone with a soul and morals. I have not heard from him since so I cannot tell what has happened. The information about Mikey K an exemployee of Disney English (who fired him for dubious practices and he was generally hated whilst he was 'working' there) is all true.I have seen this pathetic mans viscious nature and malicious and psychopathic behaviour.

Please stay away from Best Learning, they are very bad people. They prey upon the new graduates and those who are desperate for a job, then then catch them in their traps. The result is that these new employees have to be bailed out by their loving parents of suffer paying a lot of money and living on the next to nothing that remains. They don't even get their full salary as it is claimed that the deductions are Chinese Government Tax, these deductions never get paid to the Chinese Government they go into the pockets of the owners who, of course never declare them.

Parents, Colleges, and Universities DO NOT LET YOUR NEW GRADUATES HAVE ANY DEALINGS WITH BEST LEARNING OR ALLESTRA RECRUITMENT. THEY WILL GET HURT.

BEST LEARNING SCAMMERS - JACKY (Chinese), LARRY(Chinese) AND MICKEY K (US Citizen from [edited], I believe)
Do NOT apply for or accept an offer from BEST LEARNING Schools
especially from the corporate office in Beijing.
This school is a scam: They prey upon new US graduates with very little or no work experience and offer them suposed legal visas, a salary, help with accommodation, and a move into a lucrative career in ESL Teaching. This is a contrived ploy to sucker the unaware into signing with them and coming to Beijing. Once in Beijing however...

The visas they do provide are NOT legal, you are NOT allowed to work in China, they trick you (young people, new graduates) into coming with "we will help you with a loan to get a beautiful apartment, don't worry we'll take care of you" it is a loan that will be taken back straight away leaving you with nothing from your already small and inadequate first salary and you will be asked to sign legaly binding documents that are enforcable in China that will cause you to be arrested upon breaching them, if they so choose. They pretend to offer education to Chinese Students through their parents of FULL USA Curriculum which they claim they successfully teach to non-english speaking Chinese children (young learners) in an amazing 6 hours per week AFTER they have studied all day and are tired from their own REAL school work. BEST LEARNING (Jacky, Larry and Mikey K[edited]) lie, cheat, trick, decieve, swear blind that they are legal and in the mean time are paying corrupt Police Officials to stay quiet about their illegal immigration and work/illegal company operations. Their ONLY goal is to make as much monrey as they can and sell out fast ! (Words from the horses mouth!)

If you get caught in this scam you stand the risk of arrest (highly likely!) detainment, and then deportation (at your or your familiy's expense or be jailed!). They also take 'TAX' from your salary which quite clearly as you are an illegal immigrant are not declared to the Chinese Government and so pocket it themselves.

The ownwers are called Jacky (Chinese), Larry (Chinese) and an American called Mickey Ko_hn who claims to have committed crimes that he has the connections to get away with as Larry's [edited]. This is probably verbal diarrhoea but the simple fact that he truly believes he can get away with anything and any crime makes this Mikey K[edited] a very dangerous and pathetic [edited]. Information about Mikey K (4 letters): An extrucker who has pulled a lot of scams by his own admission and hurt people with his friends if they don't obey him. He likes to tell everyone, "Hey, this is China we don't care we can do what we want as we have the connections". Also, "Hey, this is China who cares about copyright, we'll just get all our books copied and everyone can go 'F**k' themselves, we can do whatever we want!"

STAY AWAY FROM BEST LEARNING COMPLETELY
PS: IF ANYONE KNOWS MIKEY K AND IS LOOKING FOR HIM, INCLUDING THE FBI, ETC. HE'S AT BEST LEARNING, DATUN LU AND ANLI ROAD, BEIJING. SEE THEIR WEBSITE FOR MORE DETAILS!I SINCERELY BELIEVE HE IS WANTED FOR [edited] ACTIVITIES IN THE UNITED STATES!
