Pros

The company does a really good job preparing you for life in China. The company took care of all my paper work and visa requirements. The company also had a wonderful community of teachers working together. I was able to meet people from all over the world. If you don't understand Chinese it is vital to have a good support system of other international teachers. There are also a lot of opportunities to move up in the company.

Cons

This job is not suitable for people who go to China expecting not to work. It is also not a good job for people who have an education major. This company is a business and many things that happened while in the company were decisions made for the parents and not the students. It is also hard because teachers aren't able to see their students everyday. We were only able to see the individual students weekly. You should try to go for a smaller city because the pay is low for big cities like Shanghai and Beijing.

Thank you for sharing your EF experience with us. We understand that moving to a new country can be stressful, and we take great pride in the relocation support we provide our new teachers. Teaching is not an easy job, it requires hard work and dedication. while EF is a business, we work hard to ensure that the decisions we make are always in the best interest of our students.
