From March 2007, I also taught an after-hours TOEIC Bridge prep class
on the Middle School campus.  In addition, I helped organize activities for
the Joong Dong English Club.  Working as the sole foreign teacher at one of
South Korea’s top few private secondary schools was both a source of
pride and a constant challenge.
