Recently I've returned from Korea, and I cannot express my
disapointment with the school I worked for. The name of this school is
Nowon Young Jae Center, which I worked for only three months before leaving,
thus breaking my contract. The problems I experienced were enormous, but I
will only mention a few. The first was the lack of any kind of teacher
support which had broad consequences for both the students and I. The
second deals with the fact that I was hired illegally, or in other words the
school wasn't properly lisenced by immigration to hire me. The school would
hide me away from immigration if they thought immigration might come to the
school. I was a teaching on a legitimate e-2 visa. However the school
would lie to me by saying that immigration wanted to arrest me for teaching
on a faulty visa. Needless to say all of their lies left me desperate to
escape. Although I tried, the bastards had the security guards of my
building detain me, while taking my suitcase in order to prevent my
departure. Eventually I got out of there, but not without a great deal of
pain and head aches. I'm writing this message to you so that I can warn
others about this school. Hopefully, other teachers can avoid the trap the
I stepped into in Korea.
Thanks so much!!
