My school review was taken down, and this is the second time it will appear!
Warning - Victoria House of Foreign Languages - Tieling, China!
I will address the main issues in two sections the school and the town of Tieling.
The good things about this school is that you will get paid eventually, be provided an apartment and your visa will be paid for by the school.

The School!

The pay situation: The pay is always late at this school, during my 12 months there, was paid on time only twice. The situation will not improve soon, since it is not an important priority for the management.

During early 2016 - 2017 for 25 hours of work a week/ salary 13,000 - 18,000 a month, and now the school has lowered it to 12,000 RMB.

Housing: You will have your own apartment, but it has not air conditioning during the hot humid months in Tieling, and the heat only turns on in November and it turns off in March, even though there is still snow on the ground. So you will freeze in October and March with temps. at around 0 C.

School Materials: There are lack of teaching materials at most of their school locations, and the computer and printer is usually broken at their main campus.

Medical Insurance: School does not pay for it, so if your sick or hospitalized it comes out of your own pocket. Eventhough, they advertised it in their job descriptions online.

Airfare: The school does not pay for the round trip, only a return ticket back to your home country (mentioned in the second contract).

Working Conditions: Victoria will not be the only school you will be working for, the owner bought a Thomas Training School, and is building another one in town. Working at this school is depressing with unmotivated students, angry parents and burned out Chinese teachers, and you will be expected to work at Thomas too! The management is disorganized and makes impulsive decisions, since buying the Thomas School's and quickly expanding, now they have cash flow problems which affects the FT and Chinese Teacher salaries. These Chinese teachers and staff had to wait a month or more for their salaries, and quite a few of them already quit.

Teacher's Moral: Both FT and Chinese is low not only due to the pay, but also favoritism and the lack of transparency. Example: A female FT worked there a few months and quit, and come back about 6 months later. The second time, she left after barely 2 months for an impromptu 6 week vacation in Nepal. This caused a lot of confusion and hardship for remaining FT's, but now the management are claiming that they ok'd it. She got her job back and with no financial penalty. However, another FT that took off for family emergency back home was threatened and suffered financial penalties.

Contract: You will sign 2 contracts with this school. The first contract will entice to come over there with Christmas Day off, but the school will NOT put their stamp upon it, and it be in only English. The second contract is in both English and Chinese and will say that the FT holiday's will be same as the Chinese Staff and Teachers. The second contract that you will signed at the school will have the owner's signature and stamp, and the first contract is therefore meaningless.

One more thing: You do not have a BA degree and only have to be in China to work there, since the remaining FT's there do not college degrees. The school owner claims to have financial ties to the local PSB.

Town of Tieling!

Location: 193 miles from the North Korean border! The Chinese are already practicing disaster and evacuation drills in the event of war between the United States and the DPRK in the border region.

City of Tieling: Small town according to Chinese standards. There are only two western fast food restaurants Pizza Hut (awful), and KFC (good). There are couple western style Chinese restaurants that are pricey. There are a few temples and a park for daytime entertainment. The nightlife is mainly KTV's.

Here is Nathan the Head of Foreign Teachers( Victoria House of Foreign Languages) response to this review -
Despite the circumstances, I hope you are healthy and doing well.  I know you have some hard feelings about your experience here, we also have some things that we were unhappy with, but at the end of the day all we can do is move on and wish one another well.
The situation from when you were here until now is completely different.  Everything is changing, everything is improving.  The issues you had here are outdated.  Curriculum is changing, the accountant has changed (which was the reason for late payments in the past - Wayne was not even aware of it!  When he found out payments were late he was furious!).  No payments are late now!  As I told you before, sorry that happened to you!  We are finding and fixing every problem, one by one!  As you know, no place is perfect but we ARE striving for perfection! 
I know you have been writing some things online to 'Warn' others, but to be honest there is nothing to warn them of.  We treat everyone fairly and kindly and this is a great job.  I kindly request that you refrain from posting anymore negative things about us - it's not fair at all to do that.  I would be happy if you'd remove the negative reviews because as I said, some of the stuff you wrote is not even true and the parts that were true are no longer applicable.  

Thanks Steven
In the spirit of friendship and mutual success,
Nate

Here is my response: Jesus is the ideal of "PERFECTION", however your treatment of me makes it abundantly clear you will fall far, far short of this ideal. My thoughts and prayers are with you. (Evangelical Christian Mantra). However, I can not rewrite history. I wrote what the situation was at the time. How is Jessica? Has she found herself yet?

Thanks, Nate
P.S. Try spelling my name right that is part of caring.
