1.) What are the associated fees for your service?

- Our fees for the service are collected through the schools and will not be placed on you.
 The teacher pays nothing for the use of our services.

2.) What are the benefits of using Dream ESL service?

- We develop personal relationships with school owners and operators to allow us to pass correct information on to you.

   we on the other hand offer you a more indepth and honest look at many schools to allow you to make an informed decision.

- We work closely with schools all across Korea to allow diversity in your decision regarding where to teach.

- We are experienced ESL teachers who can offer advice about what schools and programs may be best suited to you.

- We offer more indepth information into all aspects of teaching abroad than any other agency.

     * contract negotioation services
     * pictures of the schools and housing provided
     * contacts both in Korea and Canada should you have any questions or concerns

- Most of all we pride ourselves in taking the element of surprise out of your decision.  We want you to be fully 
  aware of all aspects of your school and contract before you make your decision.

- We work only with schools with positive reputations.  We have links to information and testimonials from
   other teachers that have worked at each school to aid in your decision making process.
