I have never heard of them but simply, by the standard of the English in your OP and that they have offered you a job, I'd say they aren't much chop or accepting any foreign teacher they can get to work illegally. I say that you should take the job and consider yourself lucky.

Oh yes I have an experience with them...

I advertised my CV on Zhaopin.com

this school called me for an interview and insisted that I must come. I gave an interview. I told them I am not a native but they were satisfied with my English. the lady congratulated me and said she is happy to have me and told me she will talk to the manager and let me know when to come....

that's all...

THE END....

It happened about 5 months ago...

If you have no interest in developing your skills as a teacher and just want a place to work whilst you experience living in China then Riverdeep might be for you.

If you take your teaching seriously though then avoid like the plague. Lessons are are completely pre-planned and involve guiding students through hours of horribly dull software.

I worked with them for seven months before I could stand it no longer and jumped ship to another school.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
