Anybody tell me about Jadens schools? Especially in Jeju. I'm thinking of applying for a job with them

Thanks,

Hi,

Actually, In their ad they said they had 2 native-speakers at the moment. That's all i know. I would assume Jeju has a fairly small community of English teachers? So maybe you know them or have bumped into them? That's assuming it's in Jeju city, of course. Are you in Jeju-city or are there other cities on the island( I know very little about Jeju)?

I also saw them advertising for positions in Busan and other fairly big cities. They're supposed to be an adult hagwon, or chain.

How long have you been in Jeju? Maybe they've just sprung up in the past few months?

I've been in Jeju for about 15 months now. I know most of the people, but don't recall anyone saying they work for Jadens or anything like that. Get the whiteys' names and I check it out for ya.

Jeju's two main cities are Jejusi (��ֽ�) and Seogwiposi (��). Most people teach in those two cities. I have heard of a few people who teach in Hallim (�Ѹ�) and Jungmun (�߹�).

If you have any other questions, let me know and I'll answer whatever I can.

Thanks KPRROK,

how's life on Jeju? How's the nightlife? As good as it gets outside of Seoul and Busan? The cost of living is low, I assume?

By the way, any jobs going at your school(I assume you work at some kind of educational institute)?
Very Happy

Cheers,

nightlife is ok. the island has only 550.000 people, so it's small. you'll find yourself going to the same places, but there are lots of places to chose from. if you don't mind going into a mainly Korean bar and being the only whitey, you'll be fine.

my school? yeah, we have an opening in mid-April. PM me if you want details.

Thanks KPRROK,

I pm'd you. By the way, I think Jadens are just a recruiting company. The way the advert was worded portrayed them as a school chain. Recruiters misleading people, well I never.....
