Hey all,
I saw this posted on Dave's...is this for real?

100k an hour is much higher than anything I've seen before. How do you get a job like this? What do you need to bring to the interview table? Can someone tell me about Daewon School? |

You need to not need a visa, not need housing and:
Required: F-2, F-4, or F-5 visa,
a degree from an Ivy League or similar school (Stanford, Chicago, etc.),
able to work at Daewon for at least 3 years,
able to score at least 750 on both SAT Critical Reading and Writing.

| I used to work at Daewon. As the ad says, it's the most prestigious high school in Korea. The students are incredibly smart and hard working -- more so, I'd wager, than a large number of the English speakers working in Korea as teachers. The ad also says you need a degree from a top university, and they mean it; they won't even look at you if you didn't graduate from a school at least as renowned as, say, Duke or Berkeley. You need to be really sharp and on top of your teaching game to work there. The students are hyper-critical and the pressure to perform is immense. In spite of the sky-high salary, many teachers don't last at Daewon. This is, I believe, the fifth ad for an AP English teacher in as many years. But if you've got the smarts and the nerve, Daewon can be a great place to work. |

With those kinds of qualifications, teachers could work in the U.S. and earn a similar if not higher salary. So I'm not surprised that there is a high rate of turnover. |

I'm thinking of my high school English teacher who was very difficult and would hand out F's like it was halloween candy.
That guy was probably one of the best English teachers I've ever seen. I probably wrote a 20 page paper every week for a year. He would grade your papers like:
1. Thesis statement. if it sucks, automatic F. Doesn't even bother reading anything else.
2. After passing thesis statement he reads your introductory paragraph. If it sucks, then he tells you to improve it and doesn't read anythign else.
3. You get to step 3 you would probably get a D. He then reads the 1st 2 sentences in every paragraph. If they didn't pass his mettle, you do it again.
4. Step 4 is where he starts reading the actual content of your paper. If a single citation is incorrect then automatic F.
5. Any use of linking verbs is an automatic F. (except in cases where it is absolutely impossible to use anything but a linking verb).
6. If you got here, then you would get anywhere from an A+ to a C-.
In high school I thought he was a complete ****. When I got to University English classes and I saw that my writing was leaps and bounds better than my peers, I started to realize just how good that teacher was.
The reason I bring that up, is that I think that sort of teacher would probably be fired at Daewon. Can you imagine a teacher handing out F's so nonchalantly in a school full of Korean overachievers? The parents would rebel and the administration would be going crazy.
thinking back, all of my best teachers were the ones I hated the most while I was a student.... |

| Has the salary been reduced? I thought that Daewon GLP classes were compensated at 200,000 won per 90-minute block. |

It's 100k per class hour, which is indeed 45 min. |
