I'm looking for any information or experiences from OHA Language academy in Cheonan, before it's mentioned I have talked to a couple of current teachers. Any info about the school, or the area would be helpful. Thanks!

Yup, I do, and the information in that thread was great.

Maybe I worded the question a but strangely, I was looking for information about the location of the school. Thanks.

I've seen one branch (there may be more, but I don't know) across the small street from Burger King, which is right downtown.

Don't know anything about the school but check out www.cheonan.blogspot.com It's the site with all the happenings on it and you can get a feel for the ex-pat scene there. Good group of people here now...pool and poker nights, a bit of hiking, etc.

Cheonan is a nice place to live, close enough to Seoul etc...
As for the school, I heard that they had two runners not too long ago. The owner sounds like your typical school owner(negative aspects). One of his teachers told me that at a dinner he said that he is great to the teachers because he does not hold on to their passports, like other owners do??? He has banners around the city, stating that he needs teachers, so he seems a little desperate.
All my information is second hand, you should really get the low down from at least a couple of the current teachers, if he has any? I personally would keep my distance from OHA, but who knows, there is always two sides to every story.

Thank you. I think the teachers I've been in contact with may be the runners, so know of them. I'll try that. Appreciate the advice
