I am surprised that there is so much positive feedback on Web. They have a bad reputation. I have talked to a lot of the teachers that work for them and the general consensus is that they are rubbish. The lesson plans are boring, the school is money orientated and they probably will not get you a Z Visa. At least 50% of their teachers are working without Z Visas. It might even be as high as 75% or more. ...and there was that story a while ago where they had a convicted paedophile working for them, and continued to hire him even when they found out (see below for article).

The only reason that they maintain a base of teachers is through their aggressive recruitment advertising. Only teachers who do not know better go and work for Web.

Remember to calculate your hourly rate of pay including the 'office hours'.

Caught on the prowl

Following is a quote from the article (I love to rubbish this school) :):

When Wayne Prete worked as a teacher in 2009 at a private English school in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, he knew there was something suspicious about fellow American teacher Wesley Lowe.

Aside from living with two Chinese women and their prepubescent children in his apartment, there was something else about Lowe that led Prete to believe he wasn't fit to be around children.

Prete decided to do what the school, Web International English, should have done and checked the US federal registry of sex offenders online.

His hunch was correct: Lowe had convictions in three states for crimes related to obscenity and child pornography.

"Three years before the case was exposed in 2013, I reported Lowe to the school and local police, but neither did anything," Prete, who now works as a building contractor in Florida, told Metropolitan.

When school administrators refused to fire Lowe, Prete threatened to distribute pamphlets to parents at the school gate informing them about the 63-year-old sex offender.

Lowe was eventually transferred to another school in Nanjing, where he taught for a further three years before leaving China in January 2013.

Prete never regretted his decision to blow the whistle on Lowe, even though he was intimidated by a group of American pedophiles in Nanjing.

"Men in the pedophile ring began to threaten me with physical harm and tried to cause me difficulties because I exposed them. They threatened to attack me if I didn't stop. At the time, my wife was pregnant with our son. They were threatening me and her. It was terrible to go through," Prete recalled.
