I have been offered a contract to teach English in South Korea again. I’ll be teaching in Ulsan . It’s not that far from where I was the last time.
The name of the school is Leeh-hwa Little Campus School. They have students ranging in age from pre-school to sixth grade. I’ll be teaching pre-school (or kindergarten as it’s referred to in Korea) in the morning and elementary school in the afternoon.
There is a possibility that I will be teaching science and math as well. That would be really cool. I’m a math/science person at heart. As an undergraduate, I had a double major in psychology and comprehensive sciences. The science part included biology, chemistry, physics and math, with my emphasis area being chemistry.
Let the preparations begin!

Hello, I was wondering if you had already worked at Lee-hwa little Campus school, or you were about to. I have recently had an interview with them, and have been looking for some school reviews. Please let me know how your experience was with them (if you have already gone).
Thank you!

Yes, I did teach there for three years. I’ve been at a new school for a year. As of a year ago, I would not recommend to anyone that they take a job there. Things may have changed in a year, but I’m doubtful.
The relationship between the Korean and foreign staff was tenuous at best. The discipline was non-existent. The foreign teachers had their hands tied as to what we could do with students who were disruptive or disrespectful. While all private academies are into pleasing the parents, Little Campus is over the top.
