Hello I need some help. I just got a job offer from W Language Academy in Bucheon City and am Wondering if anyone has heard anything about this school. I have heard good and bad things about this chain so as you can guess I'm rather confused. Everything in the contract looks good but I really could use someones feedback who knows specifics about the school and maybe knows someone who has worked there. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

W academy is not a bad place to work. It isn't the greatest but you can do a lot worse. The only problem has been that they seem to be running out of money lately. The W I worked in was one of the oldest in Korea, and finally around last Christmas they had to sell it because there was no money. If you can find out whether or not they are financially stable, then talk to a teacher that works there or the one you are replacing about how good the school is.

They were an old client of mine. Every dealing I had with the two bosses was great. I really liked them and got a great feeling from them. 1 poster mentioned that money was tight there...I hope that is not true.
The husband works at a university and the wife runs the show there. She is pretty much on the ball. Her English is near perfect as she lived in the States for a while.
I really wanted them as a long term client but could not find them a teacher. You should look into this school more. I Thought it was one of the better ones out there.
