Greetings. I have two items that should be of interest and value to anyone wanting to teach in China particularly and maybe other Asian countries.

One is a warning to avoid a man named James Zhang (or Frank Zhang) from an ESL recruiting website named tefl.cc. The man appears to be a fraud and a con artist operating under several aliases and his tefl website should be avoided at all costs.

Second, I have posted on my website information about an ad this man placed on many websites, a copy of his contract, and a copy of a letter I sent to him with questions needing responses. These 3 items should be instructional if not enlightening to anyone wanting to teach in China (or already there).

Also, I have posted some useful information and tips on finding schools and negotiating teaching contracts. This should save many of you some headaches if not heartaches. It applies to everyone.
