These folks made me a reasonable offer and I turned it down because I want to stay in Zhuhai another year. However, I will think of them again next year.
Reviews on the web are mostly negative, some spectacularly so. Asking on the teflchinajobs list produced some comment, mostly negative, but nothing from anyone who had actually worked there.
Does anyone here know more?

Pashley,
I've never worked there myself but I remember the name. There was quite a firestorm regarding this school over on TESall some time ago.
Pretty ugly stuff, although the school also had a few defenders. The negatives came from quite a number of voices, though, too.
The bad allegations were SO bad (Chinese teachers being beaten by University security guards, nightmarish housing, association with the lowest rung of Chinese recruiters (such as Alin Buuer/Allen Zhang), and the usual weasel treatment) that I can't personally imagine advising anyone to take a gamble on this place.

Sorry, Nate, slipped up.  This is the core of the stuff seen on TESall, too. |

Well, I'm at Yang En and it does not seem near as bad as that post indicated. Of the 50 or so foreign teachers, quite a few are on their 2nd or 3rd year. On the other hand, it sure isn't perfect either.
I'll post again when I've enough experience of the place to have a clearer opinion.

Wow, Pashley, you've chosen to ignore a pretty compelling body of bad news coming out of that place...  Who knows, maybe they've cleaned up their act. Or maybe those other FTs were lying. Either way, I hope it works out for you... |
