I'm looking to work close to Sinchon or Hongdae. Can anybody recommend a less than scurrilous employer?

Bassexpander's interview with the head teacher from Topia Academy made it look like one free of much of the BS one finds at most children's hagwons.

I don't think he mentioned which topia it was. There are over a hundred in Seoul.

I just interviewed with a Topia Hagwan near Balsan Station. They seemed very nice. I think I am going to take the position. Anyone have any negative experiences from this organization?

Does a public school interest you?

Can you be a bit more specific? Where did you work?
