Would anyone have any experiences with this firm? I just send in my app. materials. I have experience at 2 other hakwons in K-land, one I really liked and an average one, plus one year with GEPIK. You can send me e-mail at <[email protected]> Laughing

if you'd like. Thanks.

I have no direct experience with this particular hagwon, but I'm pretty sure I had a friend who worked for the Sangin location of this chain. Apparently it's pretty good, I didn't hear any complaints from my friend, she finished her contract recently and moved to Vietnam and I think maybe she even worked 2 years with them. But once again, I have no direct experience with them.

It has a reputation for being one of the best in terms of working conditions, resources, students, and teacher support. They used to want new teachers to work Saturdays, but I'm not sure if that's still the case. They also used to offer higher-than-average salaries, but I'm also not sure if that's still the case.

I hate the bastards for not hiring me!. Still YALE is considered a good school by most korean parents and wayguk teachers.

You will likely get the typical hagwon pay, benifits, etc. But you will less likely suffer the little stuff you get at other hagwons like 11 month firings, late pay and cap.

I also think they have a whitey as the head whitey rangler.

Go for it!
