who we are what we offer arrowYongo directors

What we offer

The difference between Yongo and most other agencies is that we actually maintain an active relationship with our teachers. Should our teachers ever experience any problems with their employer, we will intervene in order to maintain a peaceable working atmosphere. If it is found that the employer is guilty of malice, breach of contract or wrongdoing, we reserve the right to reassign our teachers to an alternative employer. 

Armed with the belief that the best remedy to a foreseen problem is prevention, Yongo takes steps to ensure job satisfaction prior to the finalization of your contract. We attempt to confirm the credibility of prospective employers through direct interviews with schools directors and their foreign staff. The truth is that the only way to make sure a school is reputable is to physically go there and talk to the people who run it. We take this responsibility very seriously and will not hesitate to discontinue our relationship with a particular school if they don’t meet our standards.

The relationship between us and our teachers goes beyond the business relationship. We can also assist you in personal aspects of your life. We can help you to adjust to the culture and to make inroads into the Korean and Expat community in your area. We will gladly answer any of your questions once you arrive in Korea, or help you with any transportation or translation you may require. In short, we’ll be there for you if you need us once you get to Korea. And we think that as teachers, it’s important to know that before you commit to a year of teaching overseas.

As part of our commitment to you, Yongo itself guarantees the "Basic Necessities" in any ESL contract we arrange for our teachers. These include:

1. Paid roundtrip airfare to Korea and back.

2. Free single studio apartment (no shared accommodations) within a reasonable distance from your workplace.

3. One extra month’s pay upon completion of your one-year contract (you work 12 months but get an additional 13th paycheck as severance)

8. A Monday-Friday work week, with all weekends off.
