 |
|
Anybody know anything about working in the "English Villages"? and partifcularly one down in Mok-po.....I think it's called MokPo English? I heard also that it's owned by the Korea Herald.
I noticed on a Google that it looks like they're continuously recruiting and on one of the URLs it mentioned that there's what seems to be like frequent weekend shifts.
I'm curious. |

Hi just browsing through the forum, saw your unreplied post, I worked at an English Village this past year. All i'll say is possibly stay clear, I was talking to a potential recruiter and he said that the 'English Village' is a good idea, but the Koreans didnt execute it well. I heard a few English Village's have closed, think their reputation is not the best now. The one I was at, was very much struggling, I got nervous and left after getting paid late.. Best advice is to ask to talk to teachers already there. |

Turns out that I didn't get the offer. I thought our telephone interview went pretty good but......well.
However I did get an offer, which I accepted, in an elementary school in Gumi. For 3 mill.
That amounts to a 40% raise over what I was making in the public middle school where I was working in Suwon. I enjoyed immensely telling my Suwon school that I'd gotten another job. |
