    *2024 UPDATE*🍎 The recruiting service i 1000% reccomend for finding an ESL job in Korea is now KOLARIS! It’s a free service that’s just very trustable with a great reputation. You can use their service for free at kolaris.net

    I am 33 years old and live in the US and currently earning my bachelor’s degree in General Business and Communication. This are my emphasis areas. I visited South Korea in April and spent almost 2 weeks there. I loved it. I had a bit of a culture shock and felt a little out of place there because I looked really different than everyone. I think all this is mostly because of my anxiety getting out of my comfort zone. Although, visiting Korea by myself was a really big step anyway. It was my first time on a plane and my first time out of the country. I was born in Turkey because of the military so I flew from Turkey to the US but that’s it. Haven’t been on a plane or out of the country since birth. Lol
    Anyway, my point is, I want to go back to teach English. I am actually trying hard to graduate sooner than I wanted which is stressful but it’s something that will get me to Korea faster. I graduated from community college in December 2019 with my associates degree and now I am going for my bachelors degree. I’m currently in my first semester and taking 4 classes this summer. I want to graduate sooner which is why I’m doing summer classes instead of just fall and spring. Hopefully I will get there one day ❤️🇰🇷

It's such an outdated way of thinking that you have to be from a country that uses English as their first language to be on a native speaker level. I study English linguistics and literature and could teach English just as well (maybe even better) than a native speaker but cannot get a job so easily just because I'm from another country. 😭

    It will be 2022 before I start going for teaching in Korea (I am staff at a college - getting a MA TESOL tuition free), but it's videos like this that give more clarity about things too (Private School/Recruiter stuff). I keep swinging back and forth between "I should do EPIK to get into Korea and just accept I won't know much of anything about where I will be" and "I will just do all the work/research on private schools/work with recruiters so I can pick where I am and be sure I'm not in a shady spot" I really liked the outline about the visa process (outside EPIK), its pretty much the same but hearing it was nice. Thanks for all these/your videos! (Edit:I got to the lost job vid. Covid19 has been insane. Hopeful things return to a *normal soon)

    I'm a Junior majoring in Elementary Education Language Arts and I've decided that this is what I REALLLLLLYYYY want to do after graduation. Obviously I love kids otherwise I wouldn't have this major, I'm currently being taught to teach because that's my major, and I loveeee traveling and studying Korean and watching K-dramas. Your channel is super helpful to me because I can see what it's realistically like to work as a teacher in Korea

    I'm graduating in December and I am starting my job search now that my midterms are basically coming to a close. I am really really hoping I can get a job there and with younger kids because I have been working with them since I was 12. Ahhhh, I am getting nervous yet excited for this whole adventure of trying to navigate job searching and potentially getting a job and moving to S. Korea.

      I'm an Indian and hence a non- native English speaker. I've done my whole education in English.
      But there's an agreement between India and South Korea (as mentioned in EPIK website) that Indian citizens also must have a teacher license in English. But still now I haven't found out which document works as the license and how to get one. I keep on searching various courses if that's equivalent to it.

    Thank you, very informative. I do have a few questions please.
    1.) How about health insurance?
    2.) Can you bring your family over if you are married and with kids?
    3.) Do the school train you how to teach your class? A curriculum to follow by?
    4.) After a year, if you decide to stay, who will process your visa and will you have the option to renew your contract with the same school?
    5.) How can one be sure that you end up with legal recruiters?
    Thank you for your time and for sharing your knowledge.

    I've been wanting to be a teacher for a really long time. Last year, I moved to the UK to go to University there and I just finished my 1st year of Uni. I'm studying English Language and TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign language). Luckily for me, my university allows to study one year abroad for year 3, so I'm really hoping to be able to go to South Korea for at least one year to test the water and see how I like it there. Honestly, my hopes for actually teaching in Korea are high and I hope that they do come true! However, I am not a native English speaker :(
