Does anyone know anything about these schools? My recruiter has sent me some information and I may interview with one of their schools in Daegu.


Any information would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks!

Last year I was set to teach at an Isponge institute in Daegu. About a week before I was supposed to leave, the school was shut down for hiring illegal workers. But that's just one. It's a pretty big chain.

When doing research, I heard pretty mixed reviews from people. Most people thought it was okay but not great. They said it was okay for a year but not any longer than that.

It didn't sound too bad. Could be better, could be worse.

But again, its a big chain and every owner is different.
