"A fool and his money are soon parted"
Here is what this guy isn't telling everyone: http://www.eslteachersboard.com/cgi-bin/review/index.pl?noframes;read=58057
Two of these "centers" are rented rooms at a Chinese rec center. The third is a rented shop with one classroom (I think he signed a 5 year lease). He has "management problems" because he and his young Chinese wife have no idea what they are actually doing. He's barely broken 100 students and he's been open for four years. He also hired an African teacher (he couldn't find actual native speakers to teach under such conditions, I presume) and said African "teacher" was deported because all of his teachers are working illegally in China.
Instead of discouraging illegal employment, he posts tips on what not to say to police and assumes no responsibility for the person in police custody. Here's more on that: http://www.shenzhenparty.com/http%3A/www.shenzhenparty.com/people/goneandforgotten/blogs
Invest your hard earned money at your own risk. It's not a real school. It has no real curriculum. They use no books--they didn't even have enough good sense to hire a curriculum developer and instead, use a bunch of typo-riddled, poorly designed worksheets and keep them in a huge binder. His school is also on the China Foreign Teachers Union's blacklist because he's ripped off the majority of the foreign teachers who have worked for him.
