Hi.
I'm thinking of making a move to China soon and joined this site to find out more information.
There are two potential employers, English First in Shanghai, and Ivy International in Jiamusi, that I'm considering.
Thanks,
maviznoz

There seems to be some controversy regarding that specific Ivy location here:

Also, there was a post on this very forum about Ivy some time back:

And here is a post about EF Shanghai:

If I were you, I would be looking elsewhere.

mavisnoz,

Do you have a degree, a TEFL/TESOL certificate and teaching experience?

The Koreans once gave me five minutes notice - I didn't know what to do with the extra time.

Welcome Mav! What's your story?
