Define the problem first
Separate role selection, CV evidence, test practice, interview review and application tracking. Ask what has stopped your progress and what output would help. Public vacancy information and paid preparation support are different; you should be able to access an employer’s official application route without buying a package.
Compare prices using the same units
Write down the total price, session length, number of revisions, tutor changes, response time, expiry and extra charges. Two packages with the same name may deliver different things. No independently verified industry-wide price is asserted here. For instalments, establish whether there is a loan, its total cost and what happens if the service stops.
Evidence to obtain before signing
- The contracting, payment-receiving and invoicing entities, and an explanation of any differences.
- The tutor’s relevant background, who actually provides the sessions and how a replacement works.
- A complete deliverable list: documents, sessions, revision counts and feedback deadlines.
- Booking, cancellation and missed-session rules.
- A written refund formula, the conditions at different delivery stages and processing time.
- The actual source of any vacancy, referral or internship being described.
Put material oral promises into the contract or a mutually confirmed attachment. Ask for the complete version before paying, not just a sales summary.
How to read reviews and success stories
Compare specific claims about timeliness, contracts and delivery with the evidence available to you. An anonymous complaint is a question to investigate, not a finding of fraud. An offer screenshot does not prove a service caused that offer or will work for every customer. Do not choose a package on an unverified placement rate.

Use the checklist to decide
Mark each item as “evidence provided”, “needs clarification” or “not independently verifiable”. Pause payment where essential terms remain unclear or a role’s source cannot be established. Coaching and purchasing a job are different arrangements; a referral does not guarantee employment.
The existing four-page contract checklist covers deliverables, tutor/session arrangements, costs, instalments, refunds, referral and internship authenticity, privacy and termination. View the checklist preview and request entry (Chinese).

Questions
Does the site recommend a paid provider?
This page has no paid-provider recommendation. Any future cooperation must be separately disclosed; inquiry details are not automatically forwarded to an agency.
Does charging for coaching prove a referral is valid?
No. The service deliverable and the employer’s actual recruitment route must each be verified.
Return to the official source before applying or paying. Preparation advice and translated explanations do not replace the employer’s or authority’s decision.
