I would like to warn potential teachers about this school. Me and another foriegner have lost alot of money and had many problems at this hagwon. I would like to ensure that another person does not go through the same experience.


E. BO YOUNG Talking Club Jeju Island



727 Nohyeong dong 5F Eunhye B/D Jeju South Korea 690-802
Ph 82-64-713-0594
License Number: 616-92-23778



Manager: Nicole
Director/Owner: Kim Geun



Problems with pay, working hours, class sizes, vacation and the list goes on. No vacation days given. Class sizes up to 35 kids with all levels in one class! Had to organize cooking days game days with no assitance or extra pay. Constant schedule changes and contract violations.



When I brought up the broken terms in the contract I was threated to be fired and no compromise was made. I had to adhere to the new everchanging rules of the contract.

If you have any questions please post or email me at [email protected] or the other teacher at [email protected]

At least you have the kahunas to post the school info and your name!
That brings credibility to your post! You are joining the ranks of thousands who have been screwed over by school owners...and it will never end. The labor board is almost as worthless as school owners as well....they do help from time to time...but their batting average sucks. Hopefully all will end on a good note for you.

This will probably get deleted, so I suggest you post it on the blacklist site,
