As a teacher at Ivy English Language School in Jiamusi I would have to say that I find it to be a great place to work, and that other comments on this website about the school are unfair and unjust. Ivy English School has a great team of staff both foreign and Chinese all who are professional and hardworking. Of course as with any school the standard of teaching is high, and the school has a very good reputation. I find the Chinese staff to be very helpful, and the Chinese Director is a brilliant person to work for, they are all supportive and will assist and help you in any way that they can. The school keep to the contract and the salary is always paid either on time or early. The apartments for the teachers are very large, clean and spacious and all foreign teachers are treated very well by all co-workers. There are regular staff meals together and different events to encourage a family atmosphere. Having worked in other countries as a TEFL teacher I find Ivy English Language School in Jiamusi to one of the most professional, reliable, friendly and enjoyable places I have worked and I think there are many other teachers who would agree with me.
