Does anybody have info on this school? I tried a search on this forum, but all the topics had zero relevant info. If anyone has experience with this school, or knows anybody who works there, please let me know. I'd really appreciate it.

They offer a decent entry wage, but the place seems fishy to me.

They're always advertising, which is weird for a prep boutique. And their website has been undergoing repairs for at least a year -- unless I always happen upon it when it's down.

Not interested in working there at all, but would love to hear the deal on this school.

Thanks for letting me know.

Are they always advertising for new teachers? Or just their program?

I used to live around the corner, and got to hear some gossip about the place.

They're one of the best jobs around in terms of pay and time off - but the big catch is that they, apparently, want fluent Korean and English. For most of us that means Kyopos - and they seem to be the only ones who get hired and are in limited supply - hence the advertising.

I might be very wrong - this was all just talk in the pub - but likewise I'd be curious to hear how you go.

What you heard is true. They offer a lot of time off (although unpaid), and a pretty high hourly wage, but I decided to turn down the offer.
