Plato English Academy (Seodaemun)

I'd like to recommend Plato for the Green List for a few different reasons.

I've worked at three hagwons in total and Plato is drastically better than the other two, one of which was one of the major franchises. Plato is really good about respecting its teachers and hearing them out. While there is way of doing things in the classroom here, the supervisors work with the teachers to help them get to where they need to be and try to find constructive solutions to problems and issues instead of just demanding teachers sort things out themselves.

Teachers are not expected to create their own curriculum and are given really great tools to make the class run smoothly. Teachers are able to add their own style and creativity to the lessons and enjoy themselves while teaching. There is weekly grading to be completed, but plenty of prep time is offered to get it done.

There are a lot of other benefits I could go on about (generous boss who gives gifts often, free lunch, great kids, reasonable supervisors etc.) but the main reason I'll recommend Plato is they genuinely do try to make adjustments and hear things out. They consider the teachers' concerns and don't put them in uncomfortable situations. If you're looking for a quality job and don't mind a bit of grading, I think most people would be happy in this job.

Plato school in Seodaemun-gu

I had worked couples of hagwons in korea and I would proudly say its the best work place i have worked entire my life without hesitation.

Well first school isnt franchise itself like most of other hagwons in Korea. it has established 20 + years it has really well organized curriculum and supporting system. All the staffs are super friendly they believe in positive reinforcement so it really helps you to grow as teacher. They treat teachers really well and it definitely a place make your time in Korea memorable !
