I have worked for the same small academy now for about 3 years. The owner is a great person to work for and her students are mostly older. She is teacher-oriented, friendly and is one of the best Hagwon owners I have worked for in my ten years of experience of working with Korean students. She has expanded her business and a teacher who has been working for her is moving on. Ehwa Academy is a great place to work and Andong is a great smaller city to live in. It is known for its annual Mask Dance Festival and is steeped in cultural history. She is looking for a well-rounded, cooperative teacher who is flexible and responsible. As with any teaching job, you need a 4-year degree and be willing to experience all that a new culture has to offer. Seo Seung Hee is the Hagwon owner and teacher at Ehwa English Academy. Her offer is found below.
