You're going to buy a recruiter or you suggested that the school should buy the recruiter?
How much do they cost to buy?
Can't you just rent one? |

Don't know about that branch, but from my experience here are a few pluses and minuses.
Plus
-pay was never a problem
-lesson plans are well layed out with (usually) everything you need for the lesson - books, CDs, flash cards, worksheets
-they give you a couple of days of paid training before you start
Minuses
-They moved me from Busan to Daegu after I had already arrived in Korea
-They had me sign a contract that's slightly different than the one they sent via email.
-If they want to bring you over without a visa and promise to send you to Japan ASAP, don't believe them. All of the FTs where I worked got jerked along for a couple of months.
-You will be sitting on the floor for the lessons.
-summer and winter intensives were splits. They had promised the FTs OT for doing these classes, but ended up only paying OT for hours over 30/week.
Misc
-Lessons are 80 minutes each. You'll spend the first 10-15 minutes doing "brain relaxation" excercises to music.
Make sure you talk to current and former teachers at that branch. The director makes a world of difference.
In short, there are worse places to work, and there are better places to work. Again, a lot depends on the director. Whatever you do, just make sure you have a visa before coming over. |
