Honestly, teaching adults is better than having free housing and teaching kids, in my opinion.


I agree 100%, especially because WSI doesn't have split shifts. But, jeez, 9 teaching hours a day for under 2.0?? Is it really like that??

Here is a job ad for WSI Daegu that was posted on Koreabridge recently. Seoul centers have the same conditions except for housing. 6 class hours a day and 2.3 mil.

This is a top notch job and if I could apply for it before next summer I'd be all over it.

Thanks for that info. So is this 'Neil Chuodhury' fellow the person that all the foreigners have to go through and interview with in order get the job? Kind of like Ian Windsor at Pagoda?

I'm not sure if I'd call a job with Wall Street 'top notch' for an experienced teacher. Definitely above average, though.

From the ones I've talked to, WSI is about as good as the hagwon route gets. Many have 3-4 years in other forms of schools, including pubic schools.

I worked there in my second year and would agree with the above statement. The actual day to day working conditions are among the best - one could get spoiled. But the vacation time is not that great(like most hagwons), and everyone is required to work at least one Saturday a month(unless they have changed that). But, all in all, not a bad place to work.
