I've just interviewed with a school called EWAS, and though there's been some strange stuff said about the Bundang location as well as some others, folks seem mute about the Seocho location.

The offer was 2.25 million for a schedule that ran 9 hours m-w-f and 10 hours on t-t. Folks I spoke to seemed unclear on how much prep was allotted during the work day, but it seemed like a pretty full teaching schedule.

A couple of questions - is 2.25 a decent salary for someone with no tefl certification, but a year's experience? At around 47 hours per week, the hourly wage hovers gloomily around 12000 won per hour.

Anybody have a little more information about this place?

In order to get your true hourly rate, you have to factor in housing, severance and pension.

Housing is worth at about 6 million won per year, severance another 2.25 million and pension about 1.2 million.

About that specific job, I have no idea.

I`m sure you could get more. Many of the newbies with zero experience I know here are on 2.2....so with a years experience I think you can get 2.3 plus if you`re negotiating skills are any good.

in your opinion, dave's denizens, is 2.3 a decent wage for the hours involved? i'm told there's very little prep time.

I worked for the female who owned that franchise for two weeks on a part-time basis. She owes me 120,000 won and lied to me about hiring me for a full-time job. Also, she deducted 5% from the foreign teachers salaries. She's a corrupt person, but at least the institute is in a very good area of Seoul.
