I have been working in Korean Hagwon’s for three years now, and have been with Bucheon Poly almost a year. It is by far the best place I’ve worked which is why I felt the need to respond to the above criticism. In the time that I’ve worked in Korea I have never had a director who was more upfront, direct, and professional about finances and housing. Our housing is the nicest I’ve seen and our paychecks have never been late. She is also the only director I’ve encountered who has been honest enough to give us updates on our pension accounts and return our tax return money.

No Hagwon is perfect, but if you are honest with yourself about what you are looking for you can find a good fit here at Poly. This is not a school for those looking to take a paid vacation to Korea for a year. We work long, hard hours, and are consistently busy. On the other hand, if you are a teacher, coming here to teach, and not afraid of hard work it doesn’t get much better. Our students are incredible. I wouldn’t trade my Poly students for anything. I have never worked with such gifted and wonderful children. Our co-teachers are top notch, as are our materials.

In short, I have seen none of the issues described here at Bucheon Poly. Instead I have found a challenging, but rewarding job with students I love. I hope to stay for quite a while longer, and I would whole-heartedly recommend working here to anyone.
