I need to know if this is good enough to teach ESL in Korea.
I have a BS degree in Public Policy
I have TESOL
I have one year of experience teaching ESL
I have two years of tutoring experience in math, science, reading, and history
Is this good enough? Do I need to do more?
It is true. I do not have experience with young children. Maybe I should find a job with children before I leave?

My ex-boyfriend did it and he was under the impression that all you needed was a BS. His was in English. He had never worked with children, ever, and he had never taught. I would talk to a recruiter, but if they took him I’m sure they’ll take you.
(He went to Korea for a year to teach children English)
eh thats more than enough. I know a few people that didn’t even have a degree and was hired illegally of course, but just to get the point…they will hire you if they need use and most likely they will need you esp in areas outside seoul.
To teach older children, this would be over qualified…but for children and kindergarten, most schools prefer teachers with some experience handling children. I am currently in South Korea teaching 6 year olds and they can be a handful. But for public school, private school, adults, you should have no problem whatsoever. Good luck!
