Community: Nowhere will you find a better sense of community than at Chungdahm.

We offer many opportunities to get involved within the community such as after-school volunteer programs for underprivileged children and host many Chungdahm-sponsored social events including art performances, faculty-appreciation dinners, and sporting activities. Chungdahm also offers referral bonuses 250,000 KRW to current faculty for each new instructor successfully placed at any of our locations!

Confidence: Chungdahm's students are among the 10% highest achievers in the nation. Many of our students plan on attending top-level high schools and universities in Korea and have goals to study abroad as well. This is why Chungdahm puts great emphasis on creating a unique and structured curriculum that molds our students to focus on creative thinking and critical learning. Therefore, our comprehensive training program fully prepares prospective instructors in teaching our effective methodology that has been endorsed by KATE (Korean Association of Teachers of English). Chung Dahm Learning is one of the few institutes in Korea where professional development is viewed as a core competency.
