The Saha Branch in western Busan is one of the quieter suburban institutes but with a great staff team and students. It’s close to public transport and only ten minutes away from central Busan by taxi. There are shopping centres, a beach, hiking trails and stores all nearby.

A warm greeting from the Saha CDI branch in Busan!

Although one of the smaller branches in the city, we have increased steadily with both staff and students since our humble beginnings in 2007. Located in the quieter suburbs, Saha has a more relaxing atmosphere with views of the mountains through the classroom windows. Surrounded by all the amenities typical of Korean life such as net cafes, bathhouses and fitness centres, our location is also close to public transport and only 10 minutes to the city centre by taxi. We are also lucky enough to have a great team spirit in our workplace, with Korean staff and English teachers working positively and professionally together. Our smaller size gives us a stronger sense of unity, with weekends often spent eating and drinking together with everyone being invited. We strive to maintain a professional, yet relaxed atmosphere where everyone is provided with the encouragement and resources necessary to achieve success and fulfillment in their careers.

We look forward to welcoming any new prospective teachers to our team.
