Hello I'm new to the site and was wondering if anyone had any experience or knew anyone with any experience working with Worwick, particularly the Bundang branch. Please fill me in if you can. Thanks in advance.

i was supposed to have an interview there last year but i canceled it after reading this: http://hagwon.reliableteacher.com/worwick-franklin-school-bundang-gyeonggi-do/
maybe things have changed for the better since then... but i would definitely talk to teachers who currently work there before accepting the position.

I have an interview there tomorrow, but I just saw all of these reviews:

My interview is for the new Daejeon location. I'll do the interview, but I'm apprehensive. I'll at least report on how the interview goes.

The big problems I see, are that it's a new school, so there is no opportunity to talk to current teachers about the work environment or the accommodations. Perhaps if I can contact some current teachers in other locations to see if things have changed. It's important to remember that often it is only those who have bad experiences who write reviews. People who have good experiences seldom do. Also, one must consider the somewhat low standards that SK has for teachers. I don't mean to discredit anyone's subjective experience, but one must consider one's sources.

Hey all. I had an interview for a position. It went well. I've had about 6 interviews so far. This one was right in the middle. Not too brief, but not to rigorous(what's funny is that the rigorous ones don't really as questions that would tell them what kind of teacher you are). All in all the interviewer was informative and I left the interview feeling good. I should also note that I found this blog of a Worwick teacher that seems to be having a good go at it in Busan.
