Korean Job Discussion Forums

[lantie84]

Dear all,

I am a newbie to the forum and a newbie to TEFL as a whole. I've recently completed my TESOL and have been applying for jobs in South Korea. I have been contacted by the following:

Academic director: Anthony Boyd

School:

YBM-ELS/1:1 Shinchon Language Centre
Regional HR Co-ordinator, Western Seoul
29-75 Changcheon Dong, Seodaemun Gu
Seoul, Republic of Korea, 120-833
International Calls: 82-2-323-0509
Domestic Calls: 02-323-0509
www.ybmhr.co.kr

Students: Adults - business and University

I have scheduled a phone interview for Friday 5 March with Anthony Boyd and was wondering if anyone has had any experiences/feedback with this YBM branch as a teacher? I have been doing some research on the YBM organisation and I have come across some very damaging reviews by teachers, particularly the YBM ECC chain of schools (teaching kids).

The general gist of what I have read suggests YBM generally look for inexperienced TESOL qualified teachers like me who they can completely take advantage of for this very reason.

Your feedback specifically on YBM-ELS Shinchon, Seoul and anything on the academic director Anthony Boyd would be most appreciated.

Sam
