Hi everyone,

I am currently working at a public school and several of the teachers here have children and have asked me to recommend a good hagwon to send their kids to.

Now, I have worked at 2 hogwans and they were total zoos. So, I basically told them most of the smaller mom & pop schools were not a good idea because of the poor discipline problems associated with them.

So, does anyone know of a good hogwan chain with a good environment where the children can actually learn? I was thinking of recommending maybe YBM or some similar larger chain school but don't really know anything about the learning environments there. I want to make a good recommendation.

The area would be near Anyang City, Uiwang south of Seoul.

Thanks for your helpful suggestions.


Thanks

Almost none of the 'chains' are good. Wesley Academy is the only exception I've heard of but they're also very Christian-based.

Tell them to get private one on one lessons.

Well they did not specify the money. I am more concerned with giving them a good recommendation. They can then decide whether its worth the money or not.

So please post the name of the school.
