I have worked and taught English at 6 different "English Language Schools" in China in the last 3 years and they are all low quality institutions. I cannot imagine it being different anywhere else in China. Most of these so-called teachers I have worked with are useless. Most of them, in their 20's, come here to party and drink. There are exceptions but they are few and far between. The Chinese owners are reluctant to change, many of whom cannot speak or understand English. They own the business as a financial asset only. They do overcharge students and underpay most of their staff. I must add that having qualifications means nothing. It is almost impossible to fail a TEFL or EFL course and having a degree does not come with years of experience neither does it mean that the holder is good as a teacher. It takes a certain kind of person with lots of good experience to be a good teacher.
