My current EPIK school has given me 27 hours and in addition I am expected to work in the English cafe during lunch. I have strong opinions about this, but my question is...what has been the maximum number of hours anyone has worked at an EPIK job, or for that matter at a Hagwon?...in EPIK is 30+ class hours a week feasible? I imagine it is in a Hagwon. Just trying to ascertain what the ceiling may be.
Re: Maximum # of hours @ EPIK or Hagwon
You're complaining about 27 hours plus a few extra hours at lunch. Go back home and work a regular 9-5 job. That's also if you can find a job with today's economy. Teachers here in Korea are pampered too much...
Re: Maximum # of hours @ EPIK or Hagwon
The answer is in your contract....
Re: Maximum # of hours @ EPIK or Hagwon
You should get paid overtime for anything beyond 22 classes.
Hogwons are different contrct to contract but usually ist 30, 35 or 40 (ouch!) hours.
When I worked EPIK i was teaching upwards of 42 hours (Lots fo after school classes, multiple schools, teachers classes) Made for a VERY sweet paycheck.

Why the heck are you even working for EPIK when you have an F visa ?
I'm just waiting for that guy to post, " ohhh I only work 12 hours a week and make 3.3 mil a month with 4 months vacation."

Public School Jobs whether they be full time jobs or afterschool post are like a box of chocolates . or like blind dating you never know what you will get . I guess this is due to the influx of teachers and thusly more jobs and a lack of qualtiy control over those jobs and teachers . Public school jobs and Univ post due give you a sense of being a more respected person as you tell people you work there or when tell a taxi to take you there . Usually people see you as a higher human strain . However sometimes people are wrong once at those posts you dont have to teach that well honestly since its not a business . At a hogfarm you hear when a parent complains or a kid stops so you most be on top of your game i mean teaching . Thusly i think hangwon teachers .> then Univ and public school teachers . I am sure those working at Univ and public school will surely disagree with me . But I think Hangwon teachers are better teachers then Univ and Public school teachers . You agree
Re: Maximum # of hours @ EPIK or Hagwon
Nope, this is drivel... it is incorrect logic to assume that because it is a business the teachers are better...
This is the person on the barstool next to you~
