Newish, Third tier school for Chinese locals. Compensation package is low. The students arent anywhere near the the best or brightest, and have "motivational" issues. Its a business venture that bought its school affiliation. Very Chinese management and business practices, and your work experience will match. You will constantly be asked and told to do more and more, and their have been "mistakes" in payroll and HR that are then dismissed as "miscommunication". Nothing you do there will build your resume, unless your an American trained teacher transitioning to the UK curriculum, and your students scores wont be anything to brag about.

Havent been there personally, I have a source that was their briefly. You cant save any real money there, youd have to live a pretty quite life and be a homebody. Wouldnt recommend it for families, especially with kids. They wouldnt be getting the quality type of education youd want, nor would you have a very high quality lifestyle by western standards. Its a bottom tier school, and their really are no benefits.
