Pagoda has very high standards. You get evaluated monthly and ranked
according to your ability.There is a lot of pressure to perform and you are expected to be not only a teacher but an entertainer. You will not be guarenteed a free apartment. Some teachers who are willing to accept a lower salary get an apartment. You are expected to wear a tie everyday.
Y.B.M. Similar to Pagoda but much more laid back. Less stress from teacher evaluations.
If you want to work with adults you might want to look into a University job
Another possibility is working for a Younsuwon ( a teacher training center)
These are public school jobs. Training teachers. |

You forgot the nasty / ugly split shifts (6:30-8:30am & 6:30-10:30pm) that usually go with a newbie teaching adults at one of the chains.
Your day time break is usually longer (10 hrs) than your night time break (8 hrs.).

i work for ybm. I definitely didn't want to work with kids for my first year. You get some great advantages: you don't have to deal with discipline problems, you go out for drinks with them, and other perks.
The split shift is a problem. I usually go grocery shopping, to the gym, or catch a nap. You won't be going out on the weekdays because you will finish at 10pm and wake up pretty early.
I like it though. |
