The woman setting this up is a Chinese national from Texas and using a shell company out of Guangzhou.

A new school can not employ foreign teachers in the first year and that's exactly what's happing here. When they renew their license next year is when the crap will hit the fan, assuming she gets it off the ground at all. Trust me, this one will PHAIL.

 

Edit: I did some more checking. Alan, the supposed DOS is having a difficult time getting his letter of invite.

Good catch

Thanks for the heads up. Of course, any teacher who works for this place could potentially also get in BIG trouble.

Crappy training centres

It is mostly overseas chinese (so-alled "huaqiao") from Singapore or other places acting as businessmen in running some (crappy) training centres in China. Those run by this group are the worst that you could ever find.....

Just avoid them and look somewhere else....
