In response to na wen, Eton British English School, Bayuquan (robert osborne)

Regarding earlier comments posted by a previous teacher I feel that I must offer a vastly different opinion regarding the school, the owner and the staff.


To try and influence prospective employers this school was defined as best to 'avoid like the plague'. This is an absolutely horrific description created purely to deter future teachers, I will refrain from offering criticism of the poster because I do not agree in giving unbalanced and unsupported views.

I have experienced only kindness and lots of help and understanding whilst working for the owner and the school. I have had no issues with pay or working hours and the accommodation is absolutely fantastic. The staff are fully supportive to any requests regarding teaching and any other issues that have arisen from living in a foreign country. Bayuquan is described as a 'small town' which gives an inaccurate description which is laughable. Bayuquan is large, modern and clean. It is part of a newly developed zone in China next to the Bohai sea with state of the art bullet train which services most of the major cities.

The school has recently moved into a brand new purpose built school which offers fantastic facilities (air conditioned classrooms, interactive whiteboards etc) combining with small class sizes (max 12 students per class) which is vastly different to what many schools or language schools offer in China.

The owner is willing to offer short term contracts for suitable candidates in order for them to make their own decision regarding the school (which includes payment of flights etc). Which is something I have rarely seen on the vast majority of job offers in China. I must stress that this would apply to suitable candidates and not those who want a paid holiday!

I am also available to contact regarding any questions you may have about the school, the owner, the staff and Bayuquan itself and will give an honest and unbiased opinion based on my experience of the school.

Wot does the 'na wen' bit mean, I have never heard of that before? As for the other- did they get permission from Eton college before ripping off their name? i agree with the likes of Silverboy, a filched name spells trouble. But I could be wrong[doubt it]- how many contact details would an FT be provided by the company in order to obtain references?
