I am trying to learn Korean, I've been seeing tutors but it isn't really enough, I have heard of hagwons that teach Korean but I can't find any in the Incheon area, at least ones that I can attend after work (6:30 or later depending on location) do you guys know of any?

I've done this research before and sadly there are none. Your options are:
Uni Course (mornings though which I see is not possible)
Capcom (not sure the exact spelling) language exchange
There's a cheap class offered by Talk House (near City Hall, 1st come 1st served)
Fresh Korean offer private classes and starting this summer classroom classes in Bucheon (TBC)

Other than this there are no other options that I know of currently in Incheon.

Those are the only things I found too.

Do you know how you can sign up for Talk House or what any of the details of it are? All I know is where it is and that you can learn Korean there, they haven't responded to any of my messages.

I was going to try Fresh Korean group classes but it seems you need to have a group ready and really I would have liked to have met new people through the classes as I don't know anyone my level of Korean who wants to learn and 1 on 1 classes don't appeal to me/cost more

Honestly I never took the Talk House stuff further than finding out the basic information as the classes clashed with my work so it wasn't possible.
Maybe go there in person in order to find out more. From what I heard the teachers are voluntary so the quality varies a lot.

I feel like an expert on this now - I spent bloody ages looking for a Korean language school Laughing

There are a couple in Incheon and Shinchon that I thought were rubbish, but I ended up in Gangnam at a new place called Lexis Korea. Very happy with it. I won't go into details as I've discussed it in another thread and I don't want to spam the place, but it's worth checking out if you are serious about studying Korean.
