 |
|
My Korean friend suggested applying to teach at this school because it's a popular place for Koreans to attend.
But I'm finding a few horror stories out there. And a lot of bad things about teaching there.
Has anyone had any experience here? Or have any advice about it? |

My friend also mentioned YBM, but there seem to be a lot of horror stories about this place too.
And i want to teach adults, not kids. |

| Run a forum search on the subject. I believe I have seen some discussions on Pagoda not too far back. |

| One of my friends works at Pagoda. She's having a hard time adjusting to the schedule. Her sleeping patterns are suffering. And she doesn't really like the job all that much. Heck, last year I met someone else who worked there and when someone asked her if she was used to the split shift schedule her glum response was, "You never get used to it." |

And therein lies your problem.
The bulk of positions are teaching kids (K-9).
Teaching adults, unless you are eminently qualified and in demand, usually means ugly split shifts since you teach when they are not at work (before work in the mornings and after work in the evenings) and very demanding clients who may not really know what they want or what they need but will be more than willing to complain when you don't deliver it.
