DUX (Nowon)

I would like to review DUX Nowon as a green list Hagwon.

I have worked there for the past two years and am very happy with them.

They have always paid me on time. The staff is always kind and helpful. The kids are high level and very polite and enjoy working. Because the academy is focused on literature, and not just grammar, I have fun teaching some of my favourite books from childhood.

The work hours are reasonable, 2:30-9:30. However, the schedule is a little different each term, so I have never had to work these full hours. The teaching time is usually 5 hours, so the rest of the scheduled hours are used for planning and marking essays. This felt very overwhelming the first term, but become much easier after I got used to it.

It is a great place to work for people who expect it to be a full-time job, but with fair treatment and travel time on weekends and holidays.
