| Getting Started |
|
|
Now that you have decided to teach English in Korea, where do you begin? |
|
| Contacting a recruiter is your first step in finding the teaching position that best suits your preference and qualifications. In Korea, both public schools and private language schools use recruiters to fill teaching vacancies. The recruiting process for native speaker English teachers is a complicated one, so schools work with consulting companies to find the right candidates, and to deal with the paperwork of the contact and visa process. |
|
| Recruiters provide their services to potential teachers at no cost to them. All fees for placement services are covered by the schools and Education Boards. |
|
| Before contacting a recruiter at WorknPlay, there are a few questions you should ask yourself. |
|
|
• |
|
Where do I see myself living and teaching for the next year (or more)? Am I drawn to the rush of a city with more than 10 million people, or would I prefer one with a slightly calmer pace? Maybe a rural community would best fit my goals to really get in touch with the language and culture of Korea? |
|
|
• |
|
Should I work at a public school or a hagwon (private language school)? Do I want to work from 8:30am to 4:30pm, or does starting in the afternoon and ending in the evening better suit me? Would it bother me to be the only native speaker English teacher at my school, or would I prefer it? |
|
|
• |
|
What age group would best suit my personality? Would I have fun singing songs and playing games with fourth and fifth graders? Are high school students more my pace? Maybe teaching adults would be best for me? |
