REVIEWS
What Our Teacher's Have To Say...
My time with CDI was a real blessing. I can not stress how much I loved the kids!
It's the best part of the job and they make time fly by! I didn't have much experience working with kids beforehand so I was definitely nervous coming in, but I'm glad I had the chance to experience this opportunity.
I'm having an amazing time so far.
I love my apartment and the area is actually lots of fun even though it's quite a ways from the center on public transport. My branch seems great so far and everyone's been very welcoming, I don't start teaching until tomorrow but I'm really excited!
We have had a great first week and a few days! Training was great!
he mocks are very helpful because you get feedback right away that you can use to improve your teaching. We had a great trainer that was willing to help us and not afraid to tell us how to make changes.
In the past month, we went through a very helpful online and in-person training that helped me feel significantly more prepared and less intimidated about teaching in front of a classroom! I moved into a great apartment in Gangnam, and got to explore a little bit of the surrounding areas! We’ve visited the Coex mall, the Bukchon Hanok Village, Ssamzigil market, Ikseondong, and explored all the shops and cafes in our neighborhood.
