I would like to teach in Korea. It sounds like an interesting experience. However, I have heard some good things about it and some bad things. I’m Southeast Asian so I’m wondering how do they feel about people like me? I’ve heard that its a lot of fun to experience Korea but there must be some negative things that go along with it.

What are some of the good and bad things about teaching ESL and living in Korea? And what are some of the bad things?

Is it illegal for an ESL teacher to teach private lessons in Korea?

I’ve heard that there are some schools that will allow you to teach private lessons. Is this true? If so, do many schools allow this or is it just a few?

From what I hear, ESL teachers(native speakers) at public schools(elementary to high school) get around 2,500,000KRW (2,200USD) per month.

Then how much do ESL teachers (and foreign instructors) at universities and colleges normally make?

I believe most university instructors/lecturers have MA degrees, so do they get more money than high school ESL teachers?

I know that generally Korea uses Mainly hangul, and everyday public life work & school can get you by, by just knowing how to read hangul, but unlike Japan which incorporates Kanji(chinese character) Into there standards of literacy with hiragana, but Koreans are practically clueless to the meaning of chinese characters & it is not a standard or ordained to have knowledge of it (koreans use chinese character it only for family names)

Is Koreas education officials planning to incorporate…

It seems like there is a great deal of negativity at Dave’s ESL Cafe. I’m not sure if that’s just due to the type of personalities that have overrun the website, or if teaching in Korea really is a huge ordeal.

If you have any alternatives to Dave’s, I’d love to hear them!

Thanks!

Is there a possibility to rent just a room or are there accommodations for teachers or expats that are reasonably priced. I am going there soon and don’t know if my stipend will cover the high cost of living. I want to be able to take advantage of cultural activities in the city and not be stranded far away to make it more affordable.
