Which One Is Right for You?
If you prefer a predictable schedule, longer vacations, okay with being anywhere in Korea, and working within Korea’s public education system, EPIK may be the best fit. If you're looking for higher earning potential, a specific location or area, and smaller class sizes, you may thrive in a hagwon environment.
