The pay was around 3,000,000 won/hour, depending on your background.
Teaching environment is pretty intense. Many of the students at AndyPrep come from prestigious backgrounds. There are some children of celebrities, top businessmen, government officials, etc. To put it bluntly, they are basically "jae-buhl-jip" students.
AndyPrep is also known to be one of the most (if not the most) expensive TOEFL/SAT hakwons in Korea. The students pay a ridiculous amount to go there, so the parents and staff expect A LOT from the teachers. I'm not saying that this isn't fair, but it is stressful. There are video cameras that also record audio in every classroom, to make sure that each class is on task. To be blunt, I constantly felt like I was being watched by "The Man" -- which I was. This isn't to say that it was completely awful. I became great friends with some of the other teachers that I worked with, and have been considering going back. I'm also still keep in touch with many of my students. I'm graduating this year, and will have received teacher certification, so I'm debating about going back to AndyPrep, or trying to find a place that would pay me more since I have the credentials. |
