TLS or Trinity Language School

Terrace, Kaegum, Pusan

  This (TLS or Trinity Language School in Terrace, Kaegum, Pusan) school recently changed management. It used to be pretty much harmless if incompetantly run by a Ms Choi who still recruits for them but is now run by Steve Kang. So now however its a completely different story. Looking back it seems more like a living nightmare. Firstly theres all the lying (I won't list them all) and cheating. My salary went from 1.6 to 1.2 because they didn't have enough classes. Then they tryed to lower it further saying they were too "poor" and force me to do outside classes for another hogwon. I wasn't impressed at all. All this time I was put in this apartment above a garage  that had no phone, no TV, almost no hot water and the washing machine didn't work. They promised at the start to take care of things and provide a TV, a fan (middle of summer) and so on. I never saw any of this despite them saying it was coming over and over again. Then the power and plumbing gave out on the same day. I managed to get them to get the power back after several days. I waited two weeks for the plumber to no avail and all the while the kitchen and lounge floor was a smelly swamp. They said it wasn't their problem! Finally after I had been there 5 weeks and many complaints and nothing being done to address them I said I had had enough and was leaving in two weeks which I thought was very generous giving my living circumstances. Then things really turned nasty. Shouting, many threats upon my person, threatening to report me to immigration, threats that I would never work again, that he "knew" other directors, and physical threats were made. Then I was physically assaulted and thrown about the room. Finally very shaken I I managed to get out at last and went straight home, packed immediately, and left (it was Friday so I had the weekend to leave) never to return.  If you think I'm making this up you're welcome to try it out.
