If anyone knows a thing or two about Kids College Yunhee please drop your knowledge. It's apparently ''a very well known and highly regarded ESL school.'' We'll see...

Kids College is a bad hagwon chain with a reputation for cheating foreign teachers. Proceed with extreme caution.

What he said ^^^.

Read the contract carefully AND check references when the boss is NOT looking over their shoulder.

(get an e-mail address from a FOREIGNER and not one of the K-staff).

Any recruiter who is steering you towards a chain like this is no friend of yours. Find a new recruiter ASAP.

I knew before the OP that Kids College had a bad rep, but to my surprise, I've already had three recruiters offer Kids College, LCI Kids Club, SLP, and other alleged untouchables. OP is from footprints, others were from g2k, and a random recruiter. Do you have any better recruiters in mind?

ESL planet has been good, but I don't want to start with SMOE at 1.8 and random location. So it looks like I have to take the shaft huh.

If possible, be patient in your job search. A few extra days/weeks of searching might be the difference between bliss and piss.

Recruiters will often offer you the worst they have right out of the starting gate in the hopes that you havn't done your homework... Its the only way they can pass off their long list of bad contracts...
