My understanding is that Chung Dam April is not a particular branch but rather one of the Chung Dam curriculae.

My friend's kids go to the one in Gangnam.

Seems like pretty standard elementary student English academy stuff.

I'm guessing it would be a grind like most.

I assume from your username that you are on or will be on an F4?

IF so, take the job... work it for what it is worth and move on when you find something better.

Unlike those coming over on an E2 you have the freedom to quit and move on at will without the complications from immigration in regards to your visa.

There are cameras in the classroom which parents are encouraged to use to watch your classes.

the camera thing, for me at least, is a deal-breaker.
