I worked there too. I would have to agree that this is best avoided. The manager was quite kind and I liked the people who worked there BUT, the manager was inept beyond belief. In the 3 months I was there 3/4 of the western teachers quit for the simple reason that they worked us non stop. They did not understand how to manage the time. Thus, there was no set schedule, it could change day to day. You could not plan anything in advance because the next day, the very next day, you might have a one on one class with a 10 year old girl at her apartment at 11am. Or 2 pm or a new class of high school students was starting the next day at 10 pm. Two of the teachers started teaching at 6 am at a remote location. Their day would end at 11 pm at a different remote location.

If the owner had even a scintilla of common sense he would organize his classes and teachers and give them time to rest and time to prepare. Instead he had them moving all over the city of Gumi (and beyond) at all hours of the day and night, giving them no time to rest during the day. It was like watching those 1000 monkeys typing endlessly trying to produce all the works of shakespeare. And the reason the school continued to exist is because he had an endless supply of new teachers, none of whom he had to pay return airfare for, in fact he was/is saving money. Every now and then the school gets lucky and has a good teacher drop in for a few months (they quit immediately as well) and the reputation of the school improves.

If it weren't so sad it would be funny. Do not work for this company.
