Well I'm in a quandry if you want to know.

Yeongdeongpo-gu

What sayeth you? Is it close(ish) to Hangyang park etc? On my subway map it doesn't look too far and this I proclaim is good. I just want to know if it's a good place to live, that's all, that's all I bl**dy well tell you

It's a public school but they're promising less than 15 students per class. And I don't know if this is just a blatant lie because how can that be????


aaaaaaaannnnnnnnnddddddddd if this can indeed be, is working 11-5 for 15 students in a (possibly) nice area worth having another job with no other foreign teachers to talk to?

That. These. Are my questions[/b]

This is in Seoul, right? You aren't working for the Seoul Metro Office of Education with the number of students and hours you described, so to say it's a public school is fishy....

Most public schools only have 1 foreign teacher, too.

It's possible if the school divides up the classes into quarters and sends them to you, one group at a time. I did some part time stuff at a school which used that plan of attack.

Isn't that something you should be asking YOURSELF?

If you are working 11-5 you are a hakwon monkey who is subcontracted to a public school doing their after school program..

You are NOT working directly for the school or the Seoul Office of Education.

BE VERY CAREFUL and tread lightly. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. There is NO FREE LUNCH and this is especially true in Korea.
