    Hello! I’m Amelia, I’m 22 years old & currently teaching English in South Korea.
    In today’s video I discuss the pros & cons at working at a public school (EPIK) vs. Hagwons (private schools). I was really torn before I came here on which route I’d go down, so I help this is able to help someone who’s in the same position now💗
    I hope you enjoy the video!

    Man, I would've loved to do EPIK, but not being able to choose where I live was a big deal breaker for me.

    Really interesting video. Sounds like they both have pros and cons but this was super interesting

    :3 Hey there Amelia thank you so much for this video, I am currently in this exact same boat as you. I was wondering for your Hagwon search did you use a recruiter? Would you possibly be willing to do a video or share some tips on how you searched for your Hagwons? I currently have a recruiter and I am very stuck! I am very similar to you and would like to be in a specific area of Seoul. I originally have decided to apply for Epik becauce of the "hagwon horror stories" but the more i hear the more i feel similar to you where i feel those people maybe werent ready to teach in Korea dn thats why. You seem to reccommed Hagwons pretty highly. I am aloso weary of Public schools because ive hear cthe stories of "Oh i have 4 diffeent schools I work at and have to travel to and i live in the middle of no where." EPIK i hear is also changing their holidays and will possibly go to the same as Hagwons.. So now after your video I think my opinion has changed ahahha.

    Hi! I am planning to move to Korea next year to teach English and I am hoping to apply to teach at a hagwon rather than the EPIK program. Could you give me some tips on where and which one to apply?

    Very informative video, I have a question, which curriculum is used in Korea…is it the American or British curriculum? I’m looking for a place that teaches either or so I can get 1 year experience because I want to apply in UAE
