Eastern English Academy

Yup, that's the name of the school I teach at. It's a private after-school tutorial school. We don't really have an equivilent for it in the states. Basically kids all over Asia go to public school from about 8/9am-2/3/4pm depending on their ages. Then they go from there to a "Hogwan" (the Korean word for this type of school. At the Hogwan they study math, english, social studies, Korean grammer, and science. Some older kids stay at the hogwans until 9 or 10 at night studying/hanging out with their friends. I wish the kids didn't have so much pressure to study and do so well academically, but they do have a lot of fun with their friends at the Hogwans. I bet the parts they'll remember most in the future will be hanging out with their friends between classes, and playing outside while they wait for the bus!



This is the entrance into the building.



The window sporting the franchise's logo.



The main room (lobby.) Students hang out here, and work on homework or whatever. There's also a TV used for crowd control between classes or while the littler kids are waiting for their next class or the bus.



Damon's classroom.



These students have a really high level of English. They understand almost everything I say. They're so young that there's only three of them in their age group at this level! They were hilarious, I broke out the camera and they started to "moe-dell" as they say with their accents.



Don't be decieved by this child.



She is completely nuts! You can see it in her wild eyes. Everyday she makes us laugh!
