    You're so beautiful Mbarlay, I don't think I can ever comment on your videos without mentioning that! 😄 Anyways! I commend you for going for hagwons/private academies. I am super scared of struggling there. But, I won't lie, I am starting to consider applying for them as well now. Having to wait for programs with set intakes is not it!

      Thank you so much🙏🏾! Ey, sometimes I’ve wondered how I’ve done it too😂 but to be honest once you’re in it, it’s not AS bad (if you get an okay or good academy). Yeah, I went with Hagwons because I didn’t want a long application process, I just wanted to start ASAP 👀. All the best with whichever decision you make! 🤞🏾

    So I’ve been most schools offer 10 days vacation. Do the students not get a few weeks off for summer break and winter break?

    • @mbarlayndlovu9059
      @mbarlayndlovu9059  2 роки тому

      If your academy decides on those days for you, then the kids will have the same days you have off too. If not, then kids just take their own breaks and will call in saying they’re off for a few weeks or months.

    Hey loves; I am in my process of finding a school. Can you please advice me on working hours for first time working at a hawgon if possible. What's fair and what isn't?

    • @mbarlayndlovu9059
      @mbarlayndlovu9059  2 роки тому +1

      Hey, that’s a good question. I’d say fair working hours would be dependent on your duties & teaching vs break. If I had to pick a number, I’d say 8 working hrs and 6 teaching hrs. I’ve seen some Hagwons are pushing for 9hrs now but that means they legallly have to give you an hour’s break, and if the duties/teaching hrs aren’t strenuous, I’d still deem that fair, also factoring salary (minimum being around 2.1 million won). Although it’s not as common, there are schools that offer less hrs for a similar pay.

    Working at hagwon can very well be an abusive experience. The private owners of the hagwon will wipe their butts with your contract if they that sort of individual.
