I have been offered jobs with both YBM Shinchon and Direct English and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with either company. Any information would be extremely helpful for me in making a decision as to whether or not I should accept either offer. I like the idea of teaching english to adults one to one, but I would really like to hear someone else's perspective or any advice on the matter.

Anyone can get a job with those companies...read the contracts, and make your own decision. If this will be your first year in Korea / as a teacher, maybe it's worth considering. Otherwise, I think you should look elsewhere.

I concur. DE is not a place to make money if that's what you're looking for. Too many ways they can screw you of overtime and classes that are cancelled. Find a school that pays by salary and not by the hour.
