OK Kapitan, yes they claim to be in Shanghai.  They claim to have been founded by a Canadian man and his Chinese partner (partner may or may not be a man -- both may or may not be of Chinese origin).  It's a preschool, I think, and they are offering RMB 11,000 for 24 hours per week.  Not clear whether or not they pay the apartment and other fees or not.

 

Several worries here : (1) have they been in business long enough to provide a proper Z visa or will you be forced to work illegally? (2) why are they advertising every 2 -3 months for teachers -- considering that they are a small operation, that would represent a serious turnover; (3) RMB 11,000 for 24 periods per week with the little ones in Shanghai is just not quite average.

 

Finally, you need to ask them for a website -- they surely should have one and you need to ask them to speak with some of their teachers -- if they offer email addresses, be wary because they just might fake them.

 

I can't find anything about them on the Chinese web.

Hi man,thanks alot yes i also have many questions especially on the z visa part and the 11,500RMB.I have tried searching for them in vain.so if they advertise every 3 months(High employee turn over) it means the school ain't good.

How do you use the chinese website to detect scams???????????

981977405:

I don't use the Chinese web to detect scams -- that would be near impossible.  However, I do use the Chinese web to search for information that might lead to other information when search engines such as google, yahoo, or similar turn up nothing, or precious little.  baidu is not the best search engine in the world -- far from it -- but often it will have items in Chinese that don't make the Western web for some reason.
