Hello everyone,

I was just hoping to get information on this specific school. I have gleaned quite a bit of insight on the state of Avalon. It seems the experiences vary depending on the location and whether or not it is a franchise school. Any information on this school would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Andrew

I'm sorry, but Avalon are widely regarded as crooks. I would not sign with them. I have no further information.

If you do a forum search you will find mixed reviews. They seem to be best for new teachers. They honour contracts and pay you your money on time, but there is a 'who cares' attitude to the teaching. It might be good to grind your teeth with them for a year, but if you want to improve your teaching then you'll need to move on.

Is there ANY chain hagwon that has gotten generally positive reviews on here?

I've heard only positive reviews of the Avalon organization as a whole, especially for new teachers. I just wondered (along with andrew up above) if anyone had any experiences with this specific branch.

I know there are at least 2 avalons in daegu. Which one will you be working at? I have/had friends who work at one of the branches and while it wasn't the best job in the world, they didn't have any major complaints.
