I haven't received my info yet but I was wondering what age range is the best to teach? I don't mind mischievous kids to an extent because I am the type that messes around and has fun with stuff. I am thinking elementary or middle, not sure how high school kids are but around my area in California they are a mess.

This totally depends on you, but Korean kids tend to be a bit more childlike and childish than their age compared with western kids. I love my highschoolers, even if they do drive me crazy with their antics sometimes. I often can't stand to be around Korean elementary kids, but then I know others who love them but hate highschoolers, so it all depends on you.

Elementary is fun if you have a good co-teacher.

Maybe the content is very very easy, but I like being given the opportunity to teach the basics, and stop bad speaking habits that will continue on. Maybe I'm just old and naive but I try and make a difference.
