Since I can't seem to get more than a one-word string successfully searched here on Dave's, I'm going to ask for advice on two schools whose offers seem okay. What does anyone know about Korea Times Language Institute (two subway stops from Apgujeong) and Direct English (Pagoda), 6 locations in the Seoul area? Which is more accommodating to bringing my wife and 2-year-old? With 21 months previous hagwon experience, is another hagwon the way to go?

Thanks for the advice, and please point me to any previous threads dealing with either.

i'm also looking for info on Direct English Jongno. A search on google led me to this: http://forums.eslcafe.com/korea/viewtopic.php?t=110205

the gist of it is that direct english is a decent place to work, but they work you hard and long. i might start employment there in a month or two...not sure if i should sign or not.

Run away unless they are paying 2.5 or more. Shocked
