You may have read about some of our teaching experiences in the past, but recently we’ve been silent about it.  The reason for this was that we had to leave the school about a month and a half ago and have been battling with them ever since to receive payment.  Simply put, this has been the most negative employment experience I have ever had anywhere in the world. 

After almost two months of long days, a terrible commute, and a constantly changing schedule we called it quits.  In our time brief time there we became the second most veteran teachers, and saw 9 others quit with some staying in the school for less than 24 hours. 

All of this is a side note to the simple fact that I have still not been paid for an entire month of work.  We owe the school nothing as they never compensated us for travel, provided us our visas, or even returned our diplomas.  However, due to our old manager’s anger they have decided I don’t deserve to be paid.  This is plain and simple theft.

Instead of payment I have received a constant barrage of insulting and threatening text messages from the old manager. Never have I been in a employment situation where there was such a blatant and total lack of respect.

I hope that if you are considering a job there you do so carefully, and knowing the attitudes and practices of the school.  We heard so many stories, and experienced so many things I wish I had known before we accepted the job I wanted to give others a warning before making the same mistake that we did. 

Teaching in Korea can be an amazing experience, but the right school can make all the difference in the world.  Do your research and avoid places like, or you’re end up paying for it.
