There are literally hundreds of teaching jobs available each month in Korea. Finding a job might be easy enough, finding the right job at an established school with a reliable and trustworthy employer may prove to be more difficult sometimes. If you are new to Korea, you should probably use a recruiter. Just be sure to use someone credible, with experience...like us! Finding a recruiter that is registered and offers full professional support for you while you are in Korea is important and not something that should be looked over. If you are a continuing expat with experience, you'll likely be able to do all the leg work in finding your own opportunities, but why bother? Like most recruiters, our services are free to you, so why not use them to your advantage and let us find you the most lucrative positions out there?

No. For Korea, you currently don't need anything new. However, if you are planning to travel outside of Korea (Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, etc.), you should speak with your doctor or a doctor in Korea to find out if you'll need vaccinations for the places you are traveling to.

Finding employment in Korea for non-caucasian people may prove more difficult at times, but it is not something to worry about. Our agency is non-discriminate in who we choose to represent, regardless of age, sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, or anything else. We educate employers we deal with in the value of equality and diversity as these qualities are very important for learning. We do our best to be sure our represented teachers are completely aware of situations that might come about, to assure everyone that they won't be put into a position where they would feel uncomfortable.

Being a foreigner in South Korea does have it's awkward moments but it's all in how you look at each moment. Koreans are curious (especially children). People will stare. The kids will want look at and touch everything that is different from what they know (they would always want to touch my arms or legs because there was hair on them!). So, to be quite frank with you, sometimes we have to develop a thick
skin toward how we are perceived and dealt with in South Korea.
