Does anyone know anything about this school in Seoul? Has anyone ever worked there? Apparently the owner owns three hagwons in the Seoul area.
Also, what are the SLP franchise schools like? In terms of schedule, pay, curriculum etc...
Thanks!

I don't work there but I have friends who have. This place sounds awful.
They make you work overtime without pay. They make you commute between schools on your lunch hour and they tax you on way more than you make.
I wouldn't recommend this school to my worst enemy.

since I am pretty sure it is the same school, though it goes by different names. Again, I am not saying don't work for them, but think about it carefully. There are some people apparently saying the owner has turned over a new leaf...if you say so, but I am more of a "leopard and its spots" believer when it comes to hagwon owners. They can cover them up all they want, but after the first storm....

Run!

I have spoken to people from that school in the past. I think the average teacher lasts 5 months, and they really don't care.

Stay away... run!
