I had a job offer at a local Elementary school in Seoul. 2.2 million 9- 4 pm and teaching 6 classes with no curriculum in place. Up to 16 kids per class and would have to write a comment for every student every 1.5 months. I have my B ED and have taught in Canada but SERIOUSLY!

There must be some better than this- I was making 2.4 at my Hagwon with set curriculum and max 12 kids

This is why the jobs aren't getting snapped up.

Exactly: the whole having to make your own curriculum thing can be exhausting...a lot of hagwons seem to have a better deal than public schools in certain respects.

I'm considering the change..but according to their qualification requirements, my BA, 2 yrs exp, and TEFL cert would only put me on a 2mill. salary.
I can get more at a hagwon- with fewer students.

You would be able to get level one with those qualifications. (2.3 mil)

Anyone know if EPIK placed it's quota or is still hiring?

Or are recruiters the way to go at this point?
