Herald School – Sanbon: Sanbon-dong, Gyeonggi-do

While there are better positions available in Korea (such as public after-school jobs), most of them require a year of experience teaching in Korea. Sanbon Herald School is an excellent place to start off in Korea and gain experience. I have heard a lot of horror stories about other hagwons, but at Herald you will always be paid on time and the support staff is kind and willing to help. Cindy, the afternoon head teacher, is an incredible person and has helped me more times than I can count. Also, the children are very well behaved and their mothers often give the teachers gifts out of appreciation for their work. I know that many people, including me, have extended contracts at Herald, which says a lot. Also, former teachers often visit and come to company dinners. If you want to work in Korea but are worried about ending up at a shady school, I can vouch that Sanbon Herald is a secure place to work and is full of good people.
