If you plan to teach in China, you need to be aware and avoid a recruiting company called China ESL owned by Rebecca Tang in Beijing. Although they advertise by many names all over the internet and on every ESL/TEFL forum and message board, they are bottom feeders that have ripped off over a thousand expat foreign teachers since 2005.
The problem is that Rebecca is a millionaire who hired a full-time hacker to delete all the negative posts about her online. Below are some current posts that she has not deleted – yet. As an old member of the now-defunct China Teachers Alliance who was not allowed to have my visa renewed, I still feel it is my duty as a teaching colleague to bring this fraud to your attention. Good luck and stay safe in China.
