Such a silly request. While I am at it can I have a list of all restaurants in Moscow. Preferably in English.
OP there are no yellow pages here in Korea really. Besides they would likely be in Korea. Also this makret changes all the time. Schools come and schools change names or just go away.
You want a list here is two things to do. Learn to read Korean and learn some of the basics words like hagwon, map, etc. Go to Daum or Naver maps and general search and start looking and clicking. You can come up with a list of possibilities in no time. Or course that does not mean all will speak English or want to deal with you. |

I think that this one recently changed it's name when Ben and Anne bought the franchise. If I recall correctly, it's now the Ben Dover - Anne Taykette Academy. |

The OP posted a similar thread asking for the same information in which he went into extensive detail admitting that he didn't have a degree and was coming here to teach illegally.
In other words...don't feed the troll. |
Why must you research everyone? Certainly, that takes longer than just ignoring the thread. |

I didn't research anything. He posted said thread YESTERDAY and I happened to click on it before it was removed. |

I was doing privates in Japan, and a school made a deal for me to give trials to new students. Instead, the school just sent their students who pretended to not sign up. It only took 3 of these before one of the students admitted they were already a student at the school.
Then the next day, I supposedly had a real "new student" who wanted to sign up. The school asked me to go with them to the bank to make sure the student would pay the costs. In Japan, at the time at least, they pay for 1 month and a sign up fee which is a ridiculous amount (like the apartment security deposits in Korea). After the school got the money, they left. I asked about the commission for signing up a new student and it ended up with them "not trusting" me for asking them. The guy came to my apartment, put the commission money in the mailbox and locked it with a combination lock. I didn't get the combination until after the school I regularly worked for saw the lock and wondered what the heck was going on.
In China, a recruiter will be your employer. They farm you out to different schools. ChinaESL has been accused of taking advantage of teachers, but to their defense I didn't experience this when I met them and interviewed for a few positions. I think it boils down to a money issue and what the teacher had expected. |
Nope. Certainly MOST / the majority / almost all jobs at private academies in China are not like that. Sure some are, as some hakwans in Korea are shady, but no the majority. The majority, you just work for the school at one place. |
