Shanghai/Jiangsu Schools

[kzel81]

This morning I have received another offer, this time by an institute that runs two schools - the Shanghai Industry and Commerce Foreign Languages Collect and the Jiangsu Jiangyin Huashi Experimental School.

I would only be required to work at one of the schools, and can choose to teach at either.

If anyone has any feedback on these, it would be appreciated

I've been stalked by this school for the past month...Stalk is a strong word, I suppose. It's just that I insist that I will not sign a contract with them until I've seen the area and the school and met with other teachers there, yet they continue to email me, asking when I'll be there. Perhaps its just the language barrier?

I'd appreciate any info about the school as well!

Not that I'm there yet, but assuming the contract issues get sorted out, then I have decided to sign up with this school.
I do understand what you mean in regards to the stalking, as I have received fairly regular emails from them regarding signing the contract, but at the same time, they have been quite quick in answering any questions I have had, and also put me in touch with a foreign teacher who is currently working there.

The comments from the teacher were fairly positive, and he said that once you are settled, you don't really have anything further to do with the guy who sends the emails, and that the teaching staff are friendly and helpful.

I know that second hand information isn't always accurate, but hopefully it's a good indication.

Hey Kzel,

How many other foreign teachers are working there?

If there are at least two others then I suggest getting their email addresses and getting in touch with them rather than just the one ft.
