I'm looking into working for Pagoda Academy, unlike some job offers they don't offer free housing, their housing benefits is as follows:
Housing
- housing Manager shows apartments and handles all your housing needs
- 5 Mil won key money deposit, furniture and 100,000 won/month housing allowance
- no key money or furniture and 250,000 won/month housing allowance
- temporary housing provided upon arrival
Based on your experience in teaching in Korea, do you think its economical rather than taking a job that does offer free housing? Mind you that I do plan to teach in Seoul. Also, if anyone has any previous dealing with Pagoda or knows about it, is it a good place to work for salary wise? and do they allow you to teach privately on the side?
Any takers? |
You are aware that most places supply housing (worth about 5 mil key money AND 300-400k per month rent)
OR
supply key money AND 300-400k per month for your housing.
This offer / suggestion from Pagoda is LOW and their salaries tend to be on the low side as well. It is an OK place to get your feet wet but ....
There are many better offers and situations available out there (even in Seoul).
You will NOT find accomodation for 5 mil and 100k per month in Seoul. |
Thanks for the heads-up and can you recommend me any good institutions to work in Seoul? |

I think you mean protein is an essential part of a healthy diet, which can be found in a variety of legumes and other sources. I personally can't imagine a world without meat, but living healthy is perfectly feasible with or without it. |
