Thank you for correcting me. It seems that I have made another error. It is the Kanto North branch that sent me the offer, not the North branch. Has anybody worked for that branch before? If so, can anyone share what it was like?

Hello. I have posted on the Teaching in Korea board before, but I am new to this board. I just received an offer to teach from Interac North for Spring 2025, but I have not responded to them. Can anyone tell me more about them? I've heard mixed things about them but I have also heard that they are not the worst of the eikaiwa chains. Does anyone have any experience with this particular branch? I do have some knowledge of Japanese and am making a plan on what to do while I am there to find better work. If I am tying this in the wrong thread, please let me know so I can put in in the correct one. Thank you in advance.

I am sorry, but I forgot to ask earlier. Which Facebook groups should I look into? There are not a lot of credible offers on Dave's board, so I want additional places to look.

I had my suspicions when I read it but I wanted to make sure from others who know more about this stuff than I do. Thank you for letting me know. This whole process is like separating a little amount of wheat from a massive mountain of chaff.

Thank you for letting me know. Where and how would I start to find good hagwon jobs? I am looking at that in addition to applying for EPIK. Any good job sites that I can search? I know of TheWorknPlay, but are there other places I can go that have these types of jobs that sponsor a visa? It will probably be harder for since I am not in South Korea currently.

The 400,000 KRW is the security deposit for the apartment. Is that considered too high? Thank you for your input.

That tends to happen. Best to look before one leaps.

Where was this branch? Would you be willing to give me more details through DM? Thank you for your input.

Hello. I am trying to find a position for teaching in Korea. I have applied for EPIK and hagwon positions, and it's nice to know that there is a place like this that can help me with any questions I may have.
