Bad Experience Talking Club EE BOO YOUNG HONG SEONG

15 years ago

I was the perfect candidate for this position. I loved Korean culture, wanted a graduate degree in Korean and English and have a lot of experience overseas. Kyong YOung Choi and his wife Cho in Hong Seong violated every term of my contract. search my name katan-ko on Facebook MSN . I was not paid on time, not paid the full amount, not paid overtime, was told to teach at a man's home on weekends, adult levels were mixed on the spur of the moment I had no adult teaching materials. I was assigned to appear at meetings no one else ever attended. I was struck by my employer, Cho when I finally wrote a letter of resignation and requested a Talking Club transfer. I was never registered as an alien, I was never provided medical insurance. I feel with all the investigation in to my background someone should have evaluated the character, integrity adn personal social habits of my employers. My employer showed an adult movie to students, obviously irresponcible Cho would hit my students for no reason, I refused to take the stick, she hit me. She would interrupt my classes to ask how my husband had died. I rdon't know how she knew his name. He died 10 years ago. The owners of Talkinc Club I am told are a married couple he is from Finland, the wife is Korean. When the club licenses a franchise their responsibility ends, however, it would have been nice if someone had asked why I was not permitted to attend orientation which was also guaranteed on my contract. I walked 30 minutes to 35 minutes to the school not 10 as indicated. I had no mattress.The headmistress was in my apartment and my purse more than once. I am very upset at the situation she struck me at the police department. I left in fear for my life and wish to return to pursue the matter in court. I was very very ill. Th e headmistress spit in the soup she prepared for Market Day and many of the students were also ill.
I think the teachers and principals should be drug tested as well as foreign teachers. Now I am out of work, no money and sick . I read an article on "Failure to Adjust" I am well adjusted and loved everything else about the country and people. RIght now I think Korea has failed to adjust to the honor involved in maintaining a contract . People who hire foreigners think they are doing us a favor. I was just trying to do my job and the favors did not even extend to taking me home after my first day of school. Please read MSN Facebook katan-ko
