| Introduction | I teach at a private, after-school English academy (hagwon) in South Korea. My students come to the academy after their public school has finished; we work from 2:30-9:30 pm (50 minute classes). I teach students from 1st grade through to 2nd year middle school. Most of my students work hard to learn that complicated thing called "English". Korean kids are good students, so, as a teacher, I like my job, especially since I get to teach different age levels. |
