Complete rip off

I would never recommend this program to anyone. The staff at TTC are only slightly helpful if it is a problem they can easily help you with... if it's something that actually requires them to put some effort into their job, they just tell you "it's not possible" or "we can't do anything about that." I am on the program right now and the living allowance is pathetic, considering TTC is pocketing almost 8000 RMB from each intern every month while we only see ¥2000. I have no hot water in my shower, my living conditions are worse than many of the locals around here, and the whole TRAVEL part of "Teach and Travel China" is a scam. You only get a maximum of 3 days off at once and it is not possible to travel out of the country on your visa. In addition, the "15 teaching hours a week" is not guaranteed... I only teach 7 hours a week and yet I have to be at the school for 35 hours. This program is slightly ridiculous and not worth your time. If you search the Beijinger you can find jobs that pay 10,000 RMB a month for teachers with little to no experience.
