Dear Friend,

Indeed I can answer your question.

First, they do have a website --- it is www.teachinchina.cn.

Their real name is New Times International and they are situated in the capital city of Hebei Province. They have been around a long, long time, probably a lot longer than
all of their competition.

That being said, there is a lot of good, very good, bad and very bad things out there about them. I have dealt with them both as a teacher looking urgent for a job in China after
one of my employer's went bankrupt. They had me come to their city, found a "safe house" for me, put two or three jobs in front of me, and then sent me on my way after I had made my choice. They were there for me throughout the entire process.

I had a good experience with them, other teachers have not, that I must say. Most of their schools are in the towns and villages scattered throughout China's hinterland. You can expect a decent pay -- not the worst, not the best. They charge the customer a flat-out fee of about RMB 6,000 per foreigner, I think - something like that.

They will not deal with a foreigner until he or she has actually showed up in their city and been interviewed by them and then they place.

That being said, I also had a negative experience with them. They sent me to a great school, in the hinterlands, where I still am. A few years back, this school needed a second teacher.

The school couldn't find anyone on their own so I put the leaders of the school in touch with New Times. They promised the school a foreign teacher from Australia who would arrive in two days. That day, we all went to the train station to meet him. He never showed up. He never got on the train. They knew that he never got on the train and yet the temperature was like - 18 C. outside and we were waiting for three hours for him at this little-out-of-the-way station. They never called the school, the leaders, nobody. Finally, a day later, they called to apologize and make smooth but the school would have none of it. Apparently they had sent him to another school that was willing to pay a higher commission. End of that agency at my school.

So, there it is, dear guy, the good, the bad and the ugly.

Exercise caution but not undue cautionl
