Thinking of teaching English in South Korea? I was there for several years and wanted to give some honest advice for those who are thinking of making the leap. This is a very general overview of different types of jobs you can get and what might be best for you. Some of the advice recruiters may tell you isn’t always so honest, since they are trying to make a dollar.
This is a huge subject so if you have any specific questions send me a message or write a comment. I’ve been around the block in Korea as a teacher, teaching kindergarten through adult ages.
I’ve made a few other vids on this topic.
