Daytime academy

About the School
This well-established English academy in Seocho-gu, Seoul runs a structured, level-based English program for kindergarten and elementary students, with a team of five current native English-speaking teachers working alongside experienced Korean staff. Classes are kept small, at about 10 to 12 students each, so teachers can give focused attention and steady speaking practice to every learner. New teachers begin with a one-week training period, and join a collaborative, established environment rather than starting alone, in a quiet, transit-friendly part of Bangbae-dong near Naebang Station.
