An overview of our school...

    We've been open a year, we're foreign/Korean-owned, we have a reputation around town as being a high-end, but very effective school that encourages hard work through the building of relationships built on mutual respect between student and teacher.

    We ask a lot of our students, and  try to deliver a high-quality education, and have had some recent successes at that - we recently had three students not only get accepted into the province's foreign language high school, but two of the students went 1st and 2nd overall respectively in the province, and the 3rd girl ranked in the top ten.  We also currently have some up and coming students that we have very high hopes for, so we do take our job seriously and are always trying to improve.

    We have a high-standard that we like to maintain, but along with working hard, we also like to play hard.  We personally think (if we may say so ourselves) that the working environment here is quite possibly the best around as our school is quite small (currently four teachers, boss (my wife) included), all of our staff get along quite well - we've all been friends for years - everyone has been teaching for years, and is very down to earth and willing to help each other out.

    We do have a system that we as teachers adhere to, but not being a franchise, we were able to design that system ourselves.  It's a fairly simple system, but we're finding it to be quite effective and structured in such a way to provide a good amount of structure for the foreign teacher while leaving enough freedom to allow the teacher to really take advantage of the small class size and get to know the kids - we feel it incredibly important for there to exist a mutually respectful relationship between teacher and student, and be a definite element of fun in the classroom.

    To sum up, if you're coming here just to take it easy, punch in/punch out, and go on vacation, this probably isn't the job for you.  I'm not judging in any way, that's how some people like to roll, but it's not us, and it's not what we're looking for.  Don't get me wrong, during our "play time", we like to play, but when it comes to the improvement of our students, our school, and our system, we take our jobs very seriously and will expect the same of the teacher we hire.

    So if you're into being in an environment where you'll work a bit harder but have the opportunity to really progress as a teacher/person and feel like you're really making or trying to make a difference in these kids lives, all the while havin' a good laugh, then I think you'll really like it here.
