thankyou so so much for making these videos! I am going to be applying in the next couple of months through EPIK and you have helped me enormously! so excited for you and your new journey in a Hagwon! Im currently in the UK and it's been my dream to move to South Korea and teach English and watching your videos has made me feel so much more at ease and motivated to just do it! So thank you :)

Hi Alex! Honestly thank you so much for this video. I'm starting to apply to teach in korea and I've been going back and forth between hagwon and EPIK. This vid really helped a lot 💕 Currently I am an English teacher online, the students are all adult and mostly have a good level and its small groups, however and I feel like the only thing I'm missing and really really want is to be able to speak to the students personally and really get to know them and track their progress. The way the company I work for set things up, I teach brand new students every lesson, everyday. So theres like no way of developing any type of relationship with the students. Watching this really just made things really clear about what to expect since I've been leaning more towards Hagwons anyway. Also can you please share more about the green and black lists for Hagwons? Whats the most reliable source? 💕

I had the worst job of my LIFE at a kindy hagwon in Gangnam. I've never done epik, but taught adults (at a hagwon), worked at an international school on Jeju, and lastly worked at a private elementary school. And man, the kindergarten hagwon was easily easily EASILY the worst job I've had of my life (including all my menial labor jobs in the states.) But I've heard some are good - god speed.

Cheers - I’ve been lucky in Korea with two hagwons I’ve worked for across seven years. My own classroom, higher pay, seeing the students improve over time, and being in a location of my choosing are the key reasons why I stay at a hagwon.
