My advice is talk to BOTH of the current teachers via e-mail when the boss is NOT watching over their shoulder.
If they only let you talk to one, then pass.
Ask specifically about:
+Pay - do they really pay overtime. Get the rate settled.
+Classes - how many, how long are they and what is the schedule really like.
+Pension and medical - do they really pay into it? Does the foreign teacher have the medical plan booklet?
+Vacations - how, when, how long and who decides? This is often a very big area of contention between teachers and hakwons.
+lunches - they are not considered a work hour? do you have to spend it with the kids?
+airfare to Korea - is it prepaid - in the contract it should be waived after 6 months. |
