I am likely to accept a position at the LCI Kids Club in Suwon, obtained via Hotjobkorea. I have read mixed reviews about the LCI Kids Club, though no mention of the Suwon branch. Can anyone offer an opinion? Good or bad experiences? |

Hi! The best way to find out about a school is through the teachers that are currently there. Ask to speak to one. It's common practice so don't worry about it effecting what they thin about you. I'd totally disreguard any review you read that isn't for the Suwon branch as these things are normally franchises. For example different branch of my school just fired someone in their 11th month but my school would never (I don't think!) do that and treat us really well. |

Also there is the CV of someone online who might be able to help you. |

Do you know which part of Suwon? I have several friends that have worked for a branch in CheonCheon Dong. I worked at a school right next door so i don't have any real, first-hand knowledge. What i've gathered from them is great co-workers, but the boss was not so great. 6 out of the 7 NET's that i've known to work there made it through their contracts. One was sent home early do to "downsizing" in late 2009. The area is great though, especially for first year teachers in Korea.

I had a very bad experience at the LCI in Suwon (Yeongtong) to be exact. Did you already say yes? |
