Hi,

It is M-F, he said about 35 hrs/wk , nice housing in
the city (Ulsan)

Here is the schedule

9:40- 1:50 2:30-3:20 3:30-4:20 4:30-5:20

He said classes are 40 min/each and asked what
salary do I expect. What
do you all recommend?

Thanks!!

You NEED to ask him "what does this job regularly pay." This puts the ball in his court. You'll receive his answer, then go from there.

Roughly 2.3 million. This would depend on your experience and qualifications. Where in Ulsan? Those appear to be 50 min. classes to me.

It also depends on how many of those hours are teaching hours. That big block of time from 940~150 deserves an explanation. It appears after that, you have 3 other classes. So, if they have you teaching all throughout the big block of time, and assuming you get your lunch between 150~230, where is your preparation time?

If you have no experience, and are teaching 25~30 classes, then at a hagwon, the starting rate is around 2.2~2.3 for a 35~40 hour week.

7 classes a day is going to kill you.

2.7 million.. then you have some wiggle room.. setting for around 2.5
