Teaching Jobs in Korea
Description
We have several openings that offer the following benefits:
1. Above-average salary for graduates
2. Fully furnished accommodations
3. A bonus equal to one month's salary after one year
4. International work experience
5. Paid travel
Salaries are high, and taxes are low, thus allowing you to pay off a large portion of your student loans quickly. Or, if you have no loans, you can start saving.
The reason for the great pay and benefits is that we now live in a global economy, with English being the language in which business is transacted.
Therefore, South Korean parents want their children to be able to have basic English skills. University graduates of any major qualify to receive a teaching visa. No experience is required.
So, if you think that you're interested in learning about a new culture, trying new things, and seeing places most people would only dream of seeing, you should learn more about this great job.
When I first heard about the opportunity back in 1999, I thought it was too good to be true. When I told my mom I was going to teach in South Korea, she was sure I was going to get kidnapped, abducted, and sold on the black market!
We generally don't know much about what's going on outside of our borders. But, you can be amongst those who've chosen to think big.
After five years of successful teaching in South Korea, without being thrown in the back of a van, even my mom thinks the opportunity is a great one now!
If you are curious to learn more, please visit our website to view a 5-minute presentation on teaching in South Korea.
Then, decide if the opportunity is right for you. I'd love to have you on board with us.
But, be careful. These 5 minutes may totally change the path you once thought you were going to travel. It may lead you to places you've never considered. If that prospect excites you, then you should visit the site right away.

Big Benefits By Teaching In Korea

Teaching in Korea has been much more than just a way to earn money abroad. Once you arrive in Korea, you are immediately hit with the rich culture that allows your year stay to not just be enjoyable, but unforgettable. With housing accommodations and paid flights out of your mind, you can really enjoy life in and outside of work. Teaching children day to day gives you the opportunity to share much more than your language. Soon you discover that the children you teach begin to teach you things about yourself that were somehow hidden before coming to Korea. Of course, there will be difficulties, but I have seen these to be more learning experiences than anything. Traveling abroad really allows you to define who you are as an individual, as well as allows you to start creating a defined path on which you will walk in the future. This is really an opportunity to help others while helping yourself in a truly unique way.
I arrived in Korea knowing very little. I had a big mix up with the airline and almost got stranded in Qatar when changing planes but my agent sorted everything out and I got to Korea in one piece.
I was picked up at the airport by a taxi and delivered to my school to be introduced to my manager and coworkers and then taken to my new apartment to settle in.
I had a few pointers from my coworkers on what to do in class but it was fairly straight forward and I got into the rhythm pretty quickly.
I have now been in Korea for 5 years. I absolutely love living here. The food is amazing and the people are friendly. The job is rewarding and life is good.
I would definitely recommend giving it a go. Even if only for a year it is a great opportunity to experience Asian culture and a good base for travel in Asia too.
