horrible. horrible. horrible. The owner is scum.

Stay far away.

Any Hagwan is a crap shoot unless you have experience in Korea you
should stay away from the Hagwans.

Try a Public school much better chance of completing your contract and
actually getting paid in full, there are some bad public schools, few and
far between, but you will find more support from your fellow teacher
within the province.

Then if you like Korea you can stay with your Public School or move on to
a Hagwan, hopefully during your first year you can find a Hagwan with a
good reputation by making contacts in the community and with other
teachers in country.

Most Christian schools expect you to sacrifice your health & sanity so the pastor can buy an Equus & use it as a means to show his church is doing very well.

Avoid hogwans, that goes doubly so for 'religious' hogwans.

I've known of a few people who have had words to say about this hagwon. Frankly, I would be looking for alternatives.

Avoid hagwons with any religious affiliation like the plague.
