Good working-hours academy

About the School
This English academy in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul is the Jangan-dong branch of an established, multi-branch English education brand, teaching elementary and middle school students. The two incoming native English teachers join an existing team of four current native English-speaking instructors alongside the Korean teaching staff, so it is a settled, team-based foreign-teacher environment rather than a solo post. The program follows a structured, level-based English curriculum, and the school is open to newer teachers who take feedback well and want to grow – prior teaching experience is not required. The academy is in the Jangan-dong area of northeastern Seoul.
