Does anyone have any experience working at Kid's College in Gangnam, Seoul? I have a potential offer from here and am curious about working conditions! My interview with a foreign teacher went well and I am in the process of speaking with other teachers but wanted to tap into the vast collective experience of Dave's users!

Same as the answer for your other query....

LOOK at the contract.

Kids college has a well deserved reputation.

medical / pension / taxes / number of classes (not just class hours).

same response as my other inquiry:

yes, of course i will scrutinize the contract. however, i was wondering if anyone had any personal experience at this location...even if the contract is airtight, i don't think that really means anything about the school conditions except outlining the way things are supposed to be, without any insight into the working conditions, environment, teacher relations, etc.

Their parents pay 800,000원 per month for their kids in Gangnam. Not sure how many kids go to that place but you would be teaching professional kids. Their parents are pretty rich and they want to spend money on their kids. Personally, they will be spoilt little brats.

Just thought that might help avoid some confusion. Kid's College is a chain with independent owners.

Hi I am also interviewing with them. I was wondering if you took the job at Kids College Gagnam and what your experience has been? I can't find anything online for this particular location.
Thanks

Gagnam is fitting, lol. Even though they try to use a similar curriculum and are a chain of hakwons, they are independently owned. Which KC in Gangnam?

What do you mean it is fitting, lol? Do you or have you worked there teaching ESL? I really want some feedback from people who have worked at this location. I don't know which one in Gangnam, I didn't realize there are 2.
