Hello, ST,

Thanks much for taking the time to detail your terrible experiences with Modern English Studio in Seoul. I arrived in Seoul only five weeks ago. I work for the the longest established, most stable, leading, and most reputable English training center franchise in Korea. I think theyve treated me (and most of their foreign teachers) badly although much better than what you endured.

Due to the new, much stricter policies and requirements regarding E-2 visas, these English language enterprises are going to have top clean up their act if they hope to retain and attract foreign teachers. I was the first teacher to enter the company under these new policies, and so I am much less tolerant of their shenanighans.

Foreign teachers are leaving my school in droves every month, and so the school is desperate to keep and attract new teachers. I think theyll lose scores of teachers until they begin to understand they need to change their horrible attitudes and practices.

Best wishes to you, and thanks again for taking to time to warn others about MES.
