Anyone ever teach/heard of the above school? I'm very close to accepting an offer there.

I know a little about them.
Private training centre thing as far as I know. Their first teacher was an American guy I used to know. He ended up getting kicked out of the country because he wasn't actually on a Z visa. It was his sister's fault though. She came over on a tourist visa and started working there, even after her visa had expired. Her stupidity dropped him in it and they both had to leave. Another American guy took his place and seemed to like working there. I think he was paid pretty well, and the apartment they provided was lovely. You will be expected to work weekends and during holidays. My only reservation would be the visa situation. Maybe they've bucked their ideas up after what happened to their first teacher.
I lived in Luoyang for two years so if you have any questions about the place.... There's some info in the 'city specific' forum as well.

Yup. The City forum is in the Library.
Ilunga raises an excellent point: if there is no Z visa and no work permit/residence permit, you don't want it no matter where it is.

I wish I had the guy's e-mail so I could ask him some more about the job. I think he was legit but I couldn't say for sure. Just make sure you get an offical letter of invitation so you can come over on a Z visa and not have to worry about things.

What you could do if you have any doubts is ask for the e-mail of their previous teacher 'Steve'. He left town abruptly last christmas, although I think it was more to do with personal issues (kids back home etc) than anything else.

Is this Steve who left the same as the head teacher there? Cuz the head teacher is called Steve and is definitely there now. He seems to be a good guy, btw.
