If you wish to teach English in China, in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province in China there's one outfit you should avoid like H5N1 .It's Hong-N, run by a certain "James" Ma, located on Gan Jiang Lu.
This guy is the kind of guy.... if you shake his hand, you need to count your fingers immediately afterward. "James" was behind Shane English in Suzhou which has spectacularly collapsed and he fled. He ran an outfit called 'Richeway' which boasted a client base including Bosch - and offered the huge sum of 100 RMB an hour for teaching. Ahhh, NO.
The out-of-bed coin in Suzhou is a minimum 150 RMB, even nudging 200+ per hour for corporate clients. If you want to white-ant the system in Suzhou, then go ahead. 6,600 RMB a month ? Fuck that.
If you want to come to Suzhou and make a difference, email me. There is a good gang of foreigners that I know who will give you good advice, set you straight.
So many people want to re-invent themselves - at your expense. This guy is an expert. No mention of paying for your 3,000 RMB a month apartment.
Unless you want to live in a SLUM and cry yourself to sleep every night and flee back to Oklahoma, Birmingham, Saskatchewan or Taree after 2 months in China, skip them.

I'm just doing the right thing, letting you know. I know this blog would get me sued nicely, back there, but you NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS ahhh, person.
Bye, Liable Jamieson. Yes, NAMING AND SHAMING. 6,600 RMB a month with no accommodation allowance is someone's idea of a joke in Suzhou, it's a pathetic package here. Don't get yourself in a situation where you are the 'jokee'.
Please, Please I hope you googled this blog and get with the program. I beg you.
