I can vouch for this being the absolute worst hogwan in Korea, it is run like a cult in every aspect, you are scrutinized at every moment of your time here, not only by the moment by moment camera watcher's, but also by the incompetent and brutal managers who are trained to direct fear and threats your way so that you do not leave the job before they decide it's your time to leave. The atmosphere is oppressive to say the least, this school also does not respect foreigners's and sees them a little lower than dirt, the treatment and open backbiting about foreigners in Korean, makes this quite evident. It doesn't make much sense why they are teaching English and try to pride themselves on teaching a higher standard of English, when they do not respect the foreign teachers who know the correct pronounciation and grammar of the English language as well as how to teach effectively, and instead opt to hire a Korean teacher who can only speak broken English and has poor grammar and English pronunciation skills.
I feel very bad for the parents and children who are being ripped off by this school, and any future foreign teachers who may encounter this life form known as Topia.
This organization like many cults believe that perpetuating fear and lies about how badly your performance is at work will get you to be their loyally devoted slave, and make you work harder for average pay, you also must attend mandatory meetings and work Saturdays for no additional pay. The cameras are used on foreign teachers as if you some experiment to find ways to manipulate and control your performance to suit their needs at the time. If they can find ANY information about you that will aid them in their control and manipulative tactics, they will aggressively use it against you and attack you and try tp devour you like the bunch of piranhas they truly are.
The people that run this franchise are the most despicable bottom feeders I have ever met, I had also accepted a job here despite the bad reputation of this school but thankfully I have moved on from the misery and enslavement this place clobbers you with and I am free from this dreadful prison known as TOPIA : Terribly Obscure Piranhas in Asia.
their contract.
BEWARE FOREIGN TEACHERS OF THE TOPIA MONSTER
