 |
|
I would like to encourage anyone looking for a job to apply at Honors Review academy in Bundang (just South of Seoul).
I have worked for HR almost five months now, and I am very happy with the job. We have a great staff of eight foreign teachers. We teach elementary through middle school and we are currently hiring several new teachers.
We have a newly remodeled floor which looks very nice, and we are currently remodeling the fifth floor as our school has recently added over one hundred and fifty new students.
If you are qualified, willing to work hard, and care about doing a good job for the children, please look us up. Feel free to email me through this forum if you are interested, and I will help you any way that I can.

That would be this Honor's Review Academy?
Caution: Honor's Review Academy, South Korea

This is for anyone interested in teaching positions in South Korea. I strongly advise you to be cautious about any positions offered by Honors Review Academy in South Korea. This school has had a very large turnover rate among foreign teachers. The manager, Harry, is very discriminating against foreign teachers. We had a young woman here who desperately needed to go home to be with a very ill family member. When she requested time off, she was refused, and not in a very nice or sympathetic way. She then quit so that she could go home. The same manager has also made remarks during staff meetings about the superiority of Korean teachers versus foreign teachers. Teachers are also constantly held accountable for all students' failures and problems.
Hopefully, you can find a better position with a different academy in South Korea. South Korea itself does have a very high turnover rate as they find it very difficult to keep foreign teachers; hence, one of the reasons for the bonus money at the end of your one year contract. As a former Peace Corps Volunteer for the U.S., I can assure you that this is not a good environment. Best of luck to you in your search for a good and rewarding position. |

PM me and give me your best offer. I just might possibly think about taking your BS offer. |

I already addressed those issues on his thread. Please read them there. Thank you for the concern.
Who are you? Why are you so interested? Do you know any of us? Don't you have some grading to do? You seem like the kind of person who causes problems, rather than encountering them.
Thank you for your time. |

That has got to be the weirdest reply I've seen in a while. Do you think writing stuff like this is going to make someone want to work with/for you? |

After spending more than 3 years working as an advocate going to the labor board, NHIC, pension office, and tax office assisting foreigners in Korea who have been screwed by slimy employers I have no sympathy for bad hakwons, lying hakwon directors, worse owners and their touts.
If I can save one teacher the grief you admitted that the original poster went through then it has been my pleasure.
If you have difficulty in recruiting new teachers to screw, then that is also my pleasure.
If you business suffers because you can't find new teachers to screw over, then I have no sympathy for you and your ilk.
PS.... let me ask you some easy questions;
a) Do you really pay into the national medical plan for your staff?
b) Do they all have their booklets from the NHIC?
c) Do you pay into the national pension plan?
d) Can they call and verify their accounts?
e) Have you accurately collected and remitted their witholding taxes?
f) Can they contact the tax office to verify the taxes remitted on their behalf?
g) Does your hakwon honor all the provisions of the contract you signed with your staff or is it ambiguous and you interpret it to your advantage as you see fit?
Care to prove it? If you do, I will be the first to change my statement and make a public apology.
If you can't or won't then I have no problem keeping your bad name in the public eye.
Sincerely, |
|

You addressed nothing. Only thing you proved is that your hagwon sucks.

Yes, I can be a serious pain in the ass for cheaten hagwon like yours.

Bergy, you are nothing more than a 'snake in the grass.' To all those who read this thread: choose this hogwon at your peril. Take the advice of ttompatz, he's always on the money, and must be one of the more beneficial contributors to this forum!!
The Charge! |

| I had a friend who work there and she said it was ok. They make you work for your money, though. As far as I know, she got what she was promised but the accomodations sucked. |

Just one occurence?
This happens all the time in Korea.

Sounds like any money-crunching hagwon to me. |

| They are currently recruiting and I wouldn't want a cheating hakwon to get forgotten in the backwaters of the forums. |

Wow! That settles it, simply have to come and work there - especially if it's that wood effect lino (can you get any other flooring in SK?).
