). Especially, considering he's targets are people who are not certified in teaching. I am guessing he has the entire curriculum planed out and teachers have very little freedom to change anything. (good for those who have no training in teaching) Maybe when sussie call him (if he in fact gives me a phone number) ask him about what kind of text, if it is a scripted curriculum. | ||

This doesn't sound immediately illegitimate. If you're qualified, correspond with the guy and see how it goes. Then take it from there. | ||

The day he brought it the owner suddenly brings like 5 parent customers and says "LOL MY EMPLOYEE IZ FROM CORNELL HOW AWESOME ARE WE" Sadly, totally understandable... Isn't it quite easy to forge diplomas? There was a scandal with a professor here some years ago. | ||

Edit: Also, i dont know about your countries, but in Sweden a job ad would NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER start with how much payment you would recieve. That wouldnt even be discussed until you were taken in for an interview. | ||

I whistled at that. Getting 700 in all three especially given how subjective the written portion can be is a pretty tall order. I still have yet to see a college actually ask for the written part of the SAT scores... they still don't care about them. | ||

Regards, Hyun-Won Ouch, we seem to have a bit of a stalker or a TLer within the recruiting team.... (in which I would lol if someone from this program actually follows SC PLs and visit TL often :D) But in any case, I read and follow thru the entire thread process and pretty much, I gotta say, unless you are REALLY committed and be willing to do some hardcore "no-life" working work for some good money in a short period of time, then this is the best way to go. You pretty much have nothing else to do but plan plan plan, teach teach teach, and all once you get into this program and become an instructor. Based on my own experiences as a 6-month English teacher of the program they have in Korea to recruit college students from US, GB, Aussie, NZ (TaLK), I was pretty stuck having to plan, teach, and take care of my students the entire day everyday barely enough to do anything else and all (except on weekends). After my term ended, I realized I'm not doing this sort of stuff anymore or at least not for a while unless my mindset and motivation doing these type of work improves but yea, it is indeed hard imo to teach people when you never taught before. Also imo, all korean hawgons or programs really do expect the best of the best they can find in terms of obtaining instructors from the best educational background. Why, in that english program I did, when I revealed and stated I was from George Washington University, the staff were amazed and like the local newspaper reporter came to me to ask for an interview and I was like "wtf?" (Sadly, like someone did mention, other school rank higher or similar to like GWU, such as Syracuse or even Carnegie Mellon, they never heard of nor care...) | ||

Most Korean hakwons DO post a price of how much they will pay. And it's by law that one has a university degree (they ask for transcripts and the degree itself now). But yeah.. No phone number, using a gmail account and no website = scam, in my book. | ||
