I know people have talked about both of these schools on here, and I know it can largely vary by location, but....

Has anyone worked for the Poly or Avalon school in any of the Busan locations? If so, how was the experience? Which locations are good?

Any other advice that might be helpful would be fantastic.

In Pusan, Haeundae SLP has an excellent reputation.

thanks malkovich....but I am really disappointed that I only got one response, and it didnt really answer my question about the two schools in Busan.

not sure if you`re being serious or not? Slave Labor Program? There are countless bad threads about them but to be fair about the Seoul/Daejon based ones more.

Try asking on pusanweb. You will probably get more replies from the Busan based teachers who know more about the schools in question.

Can`t really comment on the 2 specific schools but Avalon are generally ok but be vary wary if it`s a franchise Avalon.

Avalons would be brand new for Busan right? This is their first southernly expansion? Could definitely be a safe choice for a noobie.

New schools are rarely good choices for anyone, in my opinion. I worked for a new school that was open all of 2 months.
