Hi everyone,

Any information about the reputations of any of these 3 schools?
I've been offered 2 positions out of the 3 and I'm waiting for the reply on the third. It's my first time to Korea, so I hope I can make the right decision.

Thanks so much,

Jenny Kim

YES YoungJae Elite School:
I would say no - because of the Saturday requirement.

YES Youngdo:
Not that good either. 3 hour classes with cameras in each room. 2 hours of daily unpaid prep time. But no Saturdays or split shifts. Fairly nice locations. All foreigners (no K teachers). Pay is average. Overall not great, but you could do worse.

English Channel:
At 2.6 it also looks good on paper, but again split shifts + some Saturdays would be brutal to for a year.


Have you tried public schools?

Hi,

Thanks so much for the reply. Have you actually worked at YES YoungJae Elite School? Besides the Saturdays, how was everything else?

Thnx,

Jenny
