Teaching English in South Korea

Many Koreans need conversation classes after having returned from being educated abroad. Private institutes as well as public schools, have a demand for native speakers as English is rather compulsory at the lower levels as well. Therefore, there exist promising job placements for the native speaker. High education is looked upon as an important consideration in the country so there is great interest from employers in the foreigner that holds a degree and certification. There are hundreds of language schools in Seoul. The cost of living ranges from $700 USD to $1,900 USD for a single person. However, since our Job Offer program in South Korea provides a furnished apartment, you are only responsible for your own food, utilities and any other personal expenses! The average person is able to save more than half of the monthly salary! Life in the smaller cities may be more peaceful than living in Seoul; however, the hours that one puts in per week are many so these positions are for those who want to work hard.

Traveling to South Korea

South Korea has been swept into being an industrialized nation at a tremendous rate, becoming one of the most economically productive in a span of approximately 40 years. Korean people are outdoor enthusiasts having the natural inclination toward climbing mountains. Seoul has a large population of approximately 10 million people and having survived invasions from both Japan and North Korea, the architecture is thoroughly modern. There are still some intriguing areas hidden away that have the dynastic old temples and beautiful gardens. Other attractions to investigate are the Seoul Grand Park, which is a zoo set amongst hills, trees and has a river running through it, the Seoul Museum of Art, showcasing the most modern collection of works, and the Seoul Tower with sweeping views and a revolving restaurant.
