Has anyone worked for Hoya English? Their website says they are a government licensed company, but maybe everyone is. I'd appreciate any feedback. I was hired to teach for 4 weeks starting in December. Thanks!

It's a winter camp, and it is an E-2 visa. I don't know about different types of visas? Is that important?

They pay airfare, housing, and meals and a stipend, which is paid at the end of the month.

It would be an E-4 visa. I think she typo-ed in one e-mail.

She did give me e-mails of people who had taught in the program so I'm thinking it is legit.

Maybe Patrick Ewing is the owner of the school.

This is a company that places you with schools, not its own school.

E-mail me if you have any questions about it. Yes, they are legitimate, though one girl did get canceled at the last minute and couldn't go. Overall, it was a decent experience, and we got paid on time.
