I’ve been working at Ahil English School (Ulsan) for a year and recently agreed to sign a second contract. Ahil is not in the city, but it is just a bus ride away. Everything we need is in walking distance. Restaurants, take out, coffee shops, grocery stores, hair dressers, etc… are all less than a 4 minute walk away. The bus stop is across the road and it is easy to get a taxi from this street.
The English teachers are provided with accommodation on the top floor of the school. The accommodation is average. We are provided with everything we need. We all have fully furnished rooms and share a laundry. There are occasional maintenance problems, but once the problem is reported, the staff always contacts the repairman quickly. The best thing is that we never need to brave the cold winter mornings to get to school. Work is just a few floors down.
Our boss and secretary are always helpful with every situation. Be it personal or business. Whether I am looking for a dry cleaner, restaurant, website, taxi, a doctor, etc… They always offer help. There is a lovely relationship amongst all the staff here.
