The teaching methods are outdated, including teaching the Di Zi Gui and reciting Tang poetry.

The environment is average, and the salary is very low; the year-end bonus is only half a month’s salary. No employment contract was signed; the work duties were agreed upon verbally only. The salary package also includes an attendance bonus, which is deducted if you do not have perfect attendance.

No Teacher’s Day gift money was provided on Teacher’s Day. Instead, a reward was given for promoting talent classes. Even shampoo assistants at hair salons earn more in commissions than you do.

Owned establishment: Fengshan Baijia Kindergarten treated the interviewee extremely poorly; they were very polite on the phone but offered no apology in person.

I am not from a relevant early childhood education or childcare program, but I did graduate from a medical-related department. The teaching assistant position was posted on 110 on September 2; I submitted my résumé on September 5 and received an appointment on September 7 for an on-site interview at 11:00 a.m. on September 8.

But wait! When I was riding toward the area near the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying), they called at 10:34 and said: “We’ve already found someone, so the interview is canceled.” At 10:36, I checked the 104 message system and there still wasn’t any notification.

Hello? On the way, I was almost forced to veer left when some reckless drivers squeezed through a gap between vehicles. A moving light truck was involved too. Baijia Kindergarten clearly opens at 8:30—did the previous interviewee arrive at 10:00? Do they assume every interviewee lives at the intersection next to the kindergarten? That was quite sudden.

The environment and interacting with the children are very straightforward.

1. No one guides new employees when they join, and they won't tell you what you need to know either. It's best to look out for yourself when you go in.

2. Lunch is not tasty and is quite meager. Many classes leave a lot uneaten, and on top of that, lunch contains no meat, resulting in an unbalanced diet.

Sharing on someone’s behalf: After working for three days, I was told I was unsuitable for the job, but I was not given three days’ wages, severance pay, or a certificate of involuntary resignation—nothing at all. The place was Dingjian Baojin Private Preschool in Changhua County. The children’s lunch consisted of quail eggs and cabbage; it was heartbreaking to see. The employee system also did not comply with the Labor Standards Act. Poor Changhua has so many exploitative employers like this. When everyone stays silent, they act as if nothing happened. I couldn’t stand by and watch, so I’m speaking out on their behalf. Truly damn awful.

I worked here as a tutor.

Here is a summary of my experience with this company.

Poor administrative efficiency: Every time you need to do something simple, you have to go through several different contacts. When I arrived at a tutoring student’s home, I discovered that the hours supposedly given to the parents for free had not actually been used up, even though the company had repeatedly claimed they were. Previously, when I went for an interview, one person said the address was on Chongqing North Road. I couldn’t find it at all when I got there, and only then did another person say it was on Chongqing South Road—while acting as if I were the one who had been late.

Low employee quality: Some people didn’t even know how to copy and paste on a computer. The interviewers’ appearance and communication skills were completely unacceptable, and after the interview they still spent one or two hours talking to you about pointless things such as their teaching philosophy.

A pile of meaningless procedures: After the interview, you also have to conduct a trial lesson for them. I wanted to do it by video, but their internet connection was so terrible that a task that should have taken 10 minutes ended up taking half an hour.

No SOP: Whatever they say goes, and their way of handling things is different every time an issue comes up.

Extremely low pay: During the tutoring hours they give to parents for free, tutors have to prepare for every lesson each week, write up lesson progress reports, record teaching videos, and have the parents sign a certain form after every lesson. The hourly rate is only NT$300, and to get paid, you have to take the forms to their company before you can collect your money.

Poor teaching materials: They lack quality and substance. I think even public-school textbooks might be better.

In short, whether you are a parent, a student, or someone looking for a tutor, I really do not recommend this company.
