I like the students that I have now over the break, and am excited to start teaching for the year. My apartment is great! It is much nicer than any other new teacher I know. It is very very close to my school, which is nice, but far from the subway. The staff is nice and have been helpful. Sincerely, Megan E. Broderick USA 01.21. 2010 1/12/2010 Paul Forester Teaching exp. with a private academy in Yansan, near Busan Hi Soon, Sorry it took so long to email you back. I sincerely appreciate all of your time and efforts in helping me find the perfect school. I absolutely love everything about this job. My school is about 120 students and about 10 teachers. My biggest class is 12 people. The school's director has been incredibly nice to me and treats me like family. Yangsan is a beautiful city and my apartment is literally right across the street from the subway to Busan which makes it very easy to travel around to more of Korea. Now that I'm here, I'm very relieved that i didn't get the job in Seosan. Good luck in the future!

Lavinia from South Africa 12.14. 2009 12/9/2009 Amanda Stefanyk Guri City (public school teaching experience) Hi GMSC ! It's good to hear from you. Im doing really well. The staff here at the school are very friendly. I get along well with one of my co-teachers. She a little bit older than me and we are becoming good friends. The students are good too. At times, they are a little bit crazy and hard to control, but I still enjoy their energy. I really like putting together lesson plans. It gives me a chance to get creative. The only problem I have is when tasks are brought on me without any notice. I assume everyone is really busy and just forget to notify me. Hopefully that gets better in the future. I like living in Guri. It is nice to have Seoul so close by, and yet far enough away. I like being close to the country. Its beginning to get cool here and the students are preparing for their final exams. I have met quite a number of foreigners in my area so we have gone out for dinner a few times. Everyone here is really adventurous. It's great! I dont have anything really to complain about. Korean people are so hospitable and welcoming. It took me a little while to get use to some of the people staring at me because of my blonde hair, but it doesnt bother me anymore. Thanks again for all of your help in arranging this job for me. I really appreciate it! Cananda 12.09.2009 12/8/2009 Monique Coke Ansan city (public elementary school teaching experience...) Good Morning Soon, How are you? Sorry it has taken me a bit to respond I have been verybusy, just wrapped up the orientation. I like the school very much, I didnt know it has only been open for3months now so everything is very new. The students are very cute, I have my favorite classes already!!!!some classes are very hard to teach... The staff is nice although I have a very hard time communicating withthem, I dont know whats going on half the time and sometimes theydont tell me things that are going on so half the time i'm clueless. The living arrangements I like the only thing is that they are takinga VERY long time with getting all the stuff on the checklist, I stilllive out of my suitcase because they havent bought a wardrobe yet andthere is no where to sit because i have no sofa or chair....I getfrustrated a lot because they keep saying how busy they are with theirwork, but I signed the contract that they would get those thingscomplete. But their making me feel like i'm asking too much bycontinuously asking them to complete those tasks, its like they rushedme to get out here but they had nothing organized or arranged. I dont want to seem ungrateful or rude but its been almost a monthsince I been out here and the least they could do is make sure myliving arrangements are completed in a timely manner. Other then that i'm having a blast!!!!! USA 12.06.2009 12/5/2009 Evan Di Lauro Anseong city (public elementary school teaching experience..) To GMSC, Everything has been great so far. I'm very happy with my job. The English team at Yangjin Elementary school is exceptional and we work very well together. The students are wonderful and a pleasure to work with and the school itself has lots of good technology and good administrators. My area is also a good fit for me. I have every expectation of renewing my contract for a second year if things continue as they are. We just had the GEPIK orientation and for the most part it was fun and useful. Thank you for your follow up. I hope everything is going well for you. Have a very happy december and happy holidays.An nyong hee ka se yo. 12.03.2009 USA 12/1/2009 Rubin Kwon Anyang city (public middle school teaching experience) Hello GMSC, Im really enjoying teaching the kids right now and its been a great learning experience thus far. Im still in the process of getting settled but everyone at the school is treating me very well and the kids seem really excited to have me as a teacher. I also love the housing they have provided its an officetel on the 15th floor so i have a great view and its literally 2 minutes away from my bus stop as well as the subway. Thanks for all your help and support! Rubin Kwon from USA 12.01. 2009 11/26/2009 Yulrea Kim Anyang city (middle school experience...) Hi GMSC!! I'm sorry for the late reply. I am doing all right. The housing that the school provided for me is very nice and the staff are also extremely friendly and nice,I really enjoy working with them. The students, on the other hand, are agrressive and difficult to deal with but I suppose that comes with the job unfortunately. Anyways, thanks for the follow-up!
