| There are a few small, elite English hogwans that put education first, are well respected among parents, never advertise and always have a waiting list of students. |

For a hagwan or chain to be truly respected I'd say it would need the following.
1) Only employ experienced and qualified teachers
2) Pay them around 3 million a month for around 20 hours a week of teaching with a sliding scale for more qualifications and experience.
3) Have regular teacher development workshops
4) Have management who are more experienced and qualified than the teachers, get paid more and have time down to observe teachers and give them constructive criticism.
5) Have a level system based on proper assessments and placement testing.
Otherwise it's probably just down to good marketing or current trend. |
You probably know everything about this business. Why not start a school yourself, you'll have all the teachers wanting to work for you, now, all you need are students .... |

I don't know anything about running a hagwan business, nor do I want to. I'm speaking purely from the point of view of a potential parent sending my kid to one, or a teacher wanting to work at one. Personally If I was a Korean parent and there weren't any schools around like the one I mentioned I'd teach myself English and teach my kids myself at home. |
