Are you an employer looking for a place to post your jobs? Do you want to avoid paying for posting your jobs? Well, there is a new section for job posting. I just launched a jobs page where employers can post jobs. Potential employees can upload their resumes and apply for jobs posted by employees right on the page.

This is a free service. I hope this page will help both employers and job seekers.

Iwas faced with this question in the past and it has occurred again. As a Teacher in Korea, you are not allowed to teach private lessons while under contract with an English school. But I have heard that if you talk to your Director about it, they will sometimes allow you to do it as long as a percentage of what you make goes to them. But obviously some Teachers do it without their Directors knowledge and make a good amount of money on top of what they get paid from their institution. It is risky because if caught, it could be your last job in Korea, but I haven’t heard of anyone getting canned for teaching private lessons. But then again I haven’t heard everything. Have you heard of anyone?

I got asked this question by a gentleman here in Paris who wants lessons for his daughter for a short period of time. In Korea the average price for private lessons is about 40 thousand won and sometimes more. How much do you charge?

I am wondering because it is something I am considering to boost my earning power while on the road. I have heard of people funding their entire travels by doing private lessons Teaching English and other languages. But how do you decide how much to charge? Is 45 euros too low for someone with a degree and lots of experience both in the classroom and publications(not talking about me here)? Is the same amount too low for someone with a certification and other teaching certificates(not me again)? I am curious because you don’t want to undercharge and you don’t want to overcharge. That balance is delicate.

I know a Teacher in Korea who used to charged about 45 won per lesson. She was a terrific Teacher, but is that too low because I personally thought her skills far exceeded her pay. On the other hand I know a Teacher who in my personally opinion was charging well above that, but had no enthusiasm for the job nor did I think was that great of a Teacher. So, what should you consider when naming your price?

So you want to teach English overseas right? This article is about how I landed a job as an English Teacher in South Korea and how you can do the same. I am in South Korea as I write this article and I have been here three weeks. It is not as hard as you might think and the pay is great for the work. If I can do it you can too. Here is what you will need to do.

Things you will need
* BA or BS in any Major
* Passport
* Original Degree
* Extra passport sized photos
* Clean criminal record
* 3 Sealed transcripts from your university

Step one

Before you can do anything, you need a BA or BS in any Major. Some schools have been known to accept Associates degrees but I don’t personally know anyone who has been given a job with less than a BA or BS.

Step two

If you do not have a passport on hand, GET ONE MADE as soon as possible.
Your passport must be from an English speaking country and your first language must be English.

Step three

You must also have a clean criminal record; don’t worry about traffic violations. The criminal record must be notarized by a public notary then, take or send it to your Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperate Authority for an apostille.

Step four

Contact your college or university for official (seal still intact) 3 copies of your transcript.

Step five

You also need your original degree on hand. Once you have all of these documents, click on “contact me” tab on this blog and get in touch with me and I will walk you every step of the way to help you make a smooth transition. Once everything is settled and you have accepted the contract to teach in South Korea, we will book your flight and make pick up arrangements with you.
Remember

Included in your contract are:

* Airfare to and from Korea
* Furnished studio apartment
* Monthly check of $21,000,000 won which is about $1600 US or more depending on exchange rate and if your major is in liberal arts then you get paid slightly higher
* Extra months pay at the end of your contract, so you get paid for 13 months instead of 12
* If you book the flight yourself, the school reimburses you
* Lastly, don’t settle for nothing less.

The company I am teaching at is the biggest recruiter of English teachers in Korea. So they are very reputable and have been in business for over 20 years. They are recruiting teachers right now.
