How long has this place been open? I think I have heard that the place was called E-Park last year. It went bust and all the staff lost their severance and their flight home. My friend was down $4,000!
Be careful. |

My friend has been teaching at this place since August...so it could not have on gone bust...
I have talked to 3 of the 6 teachers...prior to applying so the interviews were not staged...and they seemed to be pretty honest about both the good and bad�
A good friend of mine knows two of the teachers personally�and has vouched for them
The contract is good and fits all of the criteria laid out on the contract posting thread
I have found nothing as of yet to make me rethink accepting this position� |

Scarlet13, here you are very misinformed. The school has changed name 3 times in the past 2 1/2 years. None of the current staff know because they have not been here very long. The school/ franchise is in Korean courts at this time. They have a history of not honoring contracts, both to FTs and K staff as well.
Good Luck |
