Currently completing TEFL certification and browsing job postings. Any suggestions for best recruiting agency to go with for finding a job to fit my specifications?

for private schools, YBM ECC and Pagoda are big chains so might be good. for public schools, korvia are pretty good.

Thanks. I'm finding mixed reviews online about YBM and Pagoda (Seoul, specifically). Know anything of Chungdahm, English Channel, Princeton Review or Berlitz?

I'm looking to teach in/around Busan. My goal is to save each month in order to travel the region extensively after my teaching contract is over - am hoping my TEFL certification will help increase my monthly salary a bit in order to save more.

Too busy to scan back a page or 3?
(too busy to go to Korea).

In a word, FAQs.

ALL of these questions have been answered in the top 4 pages of this forum (with the exception of Berlitz).

While the irreverent tone of your response seems unnecessary, I do appreciate your directing me to the previously posted threads.

That said, know of any reviews of Berlitz?

I will probably survive even with the irreverent tone.

Yes, probably.

Thank you for your help.

Avoid recruiters, and avoid the chains mentioned. You could try Wall Street Institute, although I don't know if a TEFL qualification would cut it.
