I think I am due for a visit to the grandparents. Everyone on this side of the world are doing great and this summer I am going to see Uncle in Europe so I am excited. But in order to teach in Korea you need to have a passport from U.S, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, or Canada; Cameroon is not on the list since the dominant language is French. You would have to join the family in U.S to teach here in Korea but it's a long process that I think the reward wouldn't equal to the time invested.

They make life less stressful. Let's just say, things are said that are not kept and disappointments are inevitable. Waters get stirred and reactions are taking by surprise as if they were not provoked. It's best to do what is right for oneself. Laura lol, great to hear, options are always good to have.

We have been a bit preoccupied with winter camp. First, in order for your wife to get a job she has to have a passport from one of the following countries: Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, NewZealand, United Kingdom and the United States. But there is always the option for her to do private lessons. If she is already in Korea, depending on the school also, they might make an exception although I have not seen as such myself. But again, with her experience as you list above, it is possible an exception can be made in her case. As far as living together, that is not a problem for the schools to accommodate. I will email you to get more details. Hello Quinn, my apologies for the late reply. We have been a bit preoccupied with winter camp.

My wife and I would really like to come over there and teach English. We have been talking about it a lot lately. The only thing is that she is from Thailand. She has a green card here in the US though. From reading the other posts it sounds like the agency you work for wont take people if they haven't studied in the US, or hold a US passport. Does your agency ever make exceptions though? She graduated with honors from the second best university in Thailand, and has been speaking English since she was 8 years old. She has also taught English around Bangkok at Wall Street, a very reputable English institution over there. With prior English teaching experience, good references, and a Bachelors degree in French and English, is it possible to get employed through your agency to come and teach in Korea? And if your agency's policy is no, do you know of any agencies who would want someone of this caliber? I already meet all of the qualifications, I just want to find a way for both of us to be able to teach at the same school or at least be able to live together. So for my next question, if all of this is not enough for her to get a job through the agency, do you think she would be able to get a job teaching over there if she were to just come with me? Say I got accepted and she didn't, would it be easy for her to find a job once there? Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!! Hello,

I am a native English speaker as well. I saw in your earliest post that you told "apple" that he/she might be able to do it if they did schooling in the States. I was hoping that that situation could apply to me as well. I've done 7 years of schooling in the United States and I have my high school diploma as well as degree to prove it. I will email you my resume right now and thank you again for everything. Hey Tate,

if you are not a native English speaker but are fluent in the language this may still not allow you to get a teaching visa
you must have a passport from one of these countries:
Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK or the USA
a bachelor’s degree in any discipline
a valid passport with at least 6 months of validity remaining
you must not have a criminal record
Do you meet most of these requirements?
