I interviewed at a famous Jung Chul in Centum City. The boss wanted me to work 30 hours a week, but when I pressed him to how many classes that was he didn't want to say and he started to punk me.
He kept saying 6 teaching hours a day is normal. Six teaching hours with 5 minute break each hour.

Finally he told me classes were 30 minutes long.

No way i'm teaching 12 classes a day.

Anybody worked at Jung Chul in Pohang? I have a phone interview and want to see if this location has a similar reputation as the other ones I've come across so far in my search. Thanks!

@ globusmonkey

no idea about that branch, but you should ask about the number of classes that you have to teach versus the hours that you teach, ie how long is a class. Jungchul schools sometimes split 50 minute classes into two 25 minute classes which means 5 hours of teaching can end up being 10 classes which is a lot of classes even though they are short. Also you will probably be the only foreign teacher.

It really depends on the individual hakwan.

My friend worked at a Jungchal in Seoul and was housed inthe smallest apt I have ever seen and had a hellish time at the job from what I garnered.

I worked at one last year and it was decent and I liked the job and hours better than my previous ps ele job.

I't s a lottery.
