Oh god, I cried reading that letter the student wrote to you. Saying how kind you were to him and how you never punished him makes me feel he probably had bad experiences with other teachers. And one of my teachers once told me that the most beautiful gift a student can give you is to say that you were their favourite teacher. I'm so glad you kept that letter. I wonder how he's doing now.
Please like and share this video for Kyuho’s sake-doing the subtitles for this video was NO JOKE 😅😂 Sorry, Kyuho! ♥️

Thank you so much Sarah for taking your time to talk about your experience with teaching English in Korea and Kyuho for the insane amount of patience for doing the subtitles, only the ones who've done before know how exhausting it can be.
I'm also an introvert so I know how it can be challenging to be out there in public and exposing yourself but you managed to do it so well and I find it very inspiring.
I'm sure those kids were super lucky to have you as a teacher. Every since I started watching your videos, I could always feel how genuine and warm-hearted person you are and when it comes to teaching, having someone who can be understanding towards the students makes a whole difference.
Hope you two have a great day! ✨✨
Kyuho has Ugly Kitchen, Sarah now has her own segment. But Beemo, he gets his own channel.
God bless kyuho’s subtitles!! 규호님 자막 다느라 고생하셨어요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I'm a kindy and elementary teacher at a hagwon right now and this video has been so helpful to me in solidifying my decision not to re-sign with my school in September. I get zero dedicated prep or break time, I teach 10 35/40 minute classes a day, and like you said in your video, I'm burning out 😪 I'm going to find a nicer hagwon in a nicer area with more foreign teachers and support. Thank you so much for this video! 💖
Good for you!! 💪 You deserve way better-NO ONE should be expected to work hours like that, it’s not mentally or physically healthy. Since you’re already in Korea and have experience, it shouldn’t be hard at all to find something better-good luck! ☺️
Why dont you try and work in school? Bwtter conditions
Kudos to you Sarah, for leaving home, to teach in a country so far away. I love your honestly and I can see how your students adore you. Thank you for sharing your experience(s), and for helping anyone watching this video with information as to how they can move forward with teaching at a Hagwon. Praying that things open up sooner than later, so you can get back to consulting. ♥️
Thank you so much for watching ☺️ It’s honestly just my own experience, but even so, I hope it can be somewhat helpful to those who are considering teaching English in Korea.
I just graduated from a Korean university and I also happen to be married to a Korean. The job hunting process is really discouraging even with an F6 visa. My major is Korean language so It already puts me at slight disadvantage compared to people who majored in STEM areas. I've been working part time teaching young kids English during my college career and I felt the whole "babysitting" thing in my soul. It's one of the main reasons I don't see myself teaching long term. Parents are another headache when you have to deal with them directly too....
Makes me appreciate the work you put into consistently putting out quality videos without fail every Sunday, especially seeing how busy you were with teaching English!
Also whenever you guys would film Sarah getting off work and meeting up with Kyuho, not knowing what you were doing moments before the cameras started rolling always added a sense of mystery. Feels like a veil has finally been lifted, lol.
I always love an extra Sarah and Kyuho video 💛
Amazing video! Thank you so much for doing this and to both of you for editing it. Intense work!
Kyuho you're the man!
Sarah, deeply appreciate you doing this video.
Love your channel.
So interesting, thank you for sharing Sarah. Nice cameo Kyuho!
i really enjoyed hearing sarah's experience in detail and the various details that i would've never thought of myself!
thank you for sharing sarah and kyuho! :)
So glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
Thank you for sharing your experience! ❤️ It was helpful to hear it from your perspective.
Thank you for taking the time to make this. 💕 Im going to be watching it during work ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Hehehe, perfect~ 😎
This was super interesting Sarah, thank you! Glad your experience at a hagwon wasn't negative :)
Thank you for sharing your experience, Sarah. Truly an eye-opener avd most informative👍
Salute for both kyuho and sarah for this video 🥰😍 Thanks for pampering us with your bonuses video every friday ❤❤❤
Love from the 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Thank you for be this honest and sharing a bit of your story with us, it was very informative! Also i really love your blouse, i’ve been searching for a white one that is not to see-through for ages
Thanks for posting 🥰
Great! I'm sure this will be helpful to those that wish to teach.
I just find those experiences in foreign countries,very interesting to learn about.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your teaching experience in Korea! Also, love your lipstick color in this video, the color looks lovely on you!
Thanks Sarah, so appreciate this video and Kyuho for doing the subs!!!!!! I will never skip the ads on your vids ever, never knew that!
I have no intention to teach there but still watch this . It's good to know ! Thank you ! ✨
Thanks so much for making this vid, I’ve always been curious about your experience 🥰 it’s been a small dream of mine to teach abroad but going through the private system has always terrified me because of how many horror stories I have heard. You gave some great advice :) I’m glad you ended up having a good experience ! I hope one day I’ll be able to go 🤞
Thank you so much for doing this video!! The amount of effort that went into this omg!! I love hearing you speak, its always so calming but captivating at the same time~
Thank you so much 🥺♥️ I’m always so nervous making talking videos by myself 😅
Thanks for putting together this video. Very interesting! My French teacher (French immersion in Canada) in Jr & Sr high spent several years teaching English in Korea in the 90s and he would often reminisce fondly about the job and talk about how much he missed Korean food lol
Not skipping the ads for this one ☺️
Thank youuuu! 😭♥️
Me too!
Me too!
Interesting video thank you very much. Kyuho, I don't speak read or understand Korean. But I watched the video with captions ON to support you.👊🏾
Haha, thanks for showing the support! 😄😎
Thanks Kyuho! Loved the video☺️
Woah this one’s gonna be good! Thanks in advance!
우와 이렇게 자세한 경험담은 처음이에요! 현황에 대해서 알 수 있어서 재밌었어요ㅎㅎ 잘 봤습니다 :)
Thank you so much for this! I plan to teach in Korea later this year and this helped me a lot with my worries. Also, huge thanks to Kyuho for the subtitles- there really are a ton in this video 😂
I really appreciate your videos!It was an interesting topic an I love how you always have a quality contents. Good job and thanks you made my day better!
사라님은 영어쌤 출신이라 그런가? 영어가 정석적이고 알아듣기 쉽게 말하는게 넘 좋아요~~
Nice video Sarah. Very informative. Congratulations on getting that student loan debt paid off!!👍 You can always count on Beemo to make his presence known.....gotta love him!🐱 Looking forward to your next video. 😊😊
Thanks for the informative video Sarah. This is definitely very reassuring as I contemplate utilizing a TEFL Certificate to teach in English.
Good job, Sarah!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh and Kyuho too for the subs!! 😅😅
Great video Sara!
Loved this ❤
excellent info on teaching hagwon and what a wonderful experience you had
저도 원어민선생님이 계신 영어학원에 많이 다녔는데 지금 생각해보면 혼자 근무하시던 미국인선생님이 외로워보이셨던게 기억나네요..ㅠ 대학에 와서도 미국인교수님이랑 수업했는데 소통도 훨씬 많이하고 취미도 공유하는 시간이 참 좋았어요😊
Thank you so much for the informative video!!
Typing this while watching... Sarah you look so pretty !!!!! I can't even...
It was very interesting and insightful to listen to. Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks for making this video!! I’ve followed your channel for awhile and its easily one of my favourite channels… it’s lovely to hear of your teaching experience in Korea… I’m not surprised you’ve had overall positive experiences since you seem like such a genuinely positive person!
I’ve contemplated teaching for years and studied Korean in Seoul a few years ago, but life happened and I never made it back...
Now I'm an American living in Germany and teaching seems unlikely to happen, especially since I’m older now (35+)… still I'm curious if you’ve come across many older teachers during your time there? And thanks to Kyuho for the epic subtitles!
I like that this isn't overly negative or overly "rose-colored glasses". I'm thinking about teaching in Korea so this has been resourceful.
Thank you, this was so helpful. My husband and I are considering this so this was a perfect video for us.🙂
So glad it could be at least a bit helpful for you both! :)
I’m interested to know your Korean language skills. After living there so long I assume you know a decent amount just from getting around.
Tbh not that im trying to answer for her but unless youre actively learning studying and using the langauge, living in a foreign country doesnt cut it :(
On top of that her husband basically only speaks english with her so i can only imagine how little she knows compared to the length of time shes been here. This is absolutely no way in insulting her krn abilities rather showing the reality of the true difficulties of learningba 2nd language. Keep on studying yall :)
Not nearly at the level I hoped it would be living here as long as I have. I wish I came to Korea as a student where I could have focused on nothing but studying the language. It’s definitely harder when you work full time and have bills (and student loans) to pay. Working here and teaching English (in an environment where you NOT allowed to speak/use any Korean) is not at all helpful for learning the language.
Good for you!!!
Dear Sara, such a great Video! Thank you, I wish there was a Video like that 10 years ago when I started to teach in Vietnam. It would make my start so much easier. I know it's a different country but the things you have to be careful about are everywhere the same!
Thank you so much for watching it! 😊
Well done!!!!!!! Not easy, Phew!!!!!
Thank you so much for your honesty! I’m also Canadian and finished university and considered teaching in Korea... but you kind of made me realize that although there are amazing aspects like meeting new people/exploring the culture, etc., I don’t really like kids THAT much 😬😂 Maybe I’d be better suited to visit to absorb everything
This did not feel like 30 minutes. 😂 kudos to kyuho for all the hard work! 👏🏼👏🏼
thank you for this very informative video!~~♡
your photos with students are so cute =))
Those Korean subtitles though!! 🔥🔥🔥
Great job Sarah. Very interesting! Brave girl moving from Nova Scotia to Korea to teach. ♥️from N.B. 🇨🇦
Great to hear from a fellow East Coast Canadian 🇨🇦☺️
Sarah! It's uploaded at Friday!
(You uploaded video usually at a weekend)
I surprised a little 😄
Thank you for sharing your experience
It was really interesting story!
Yes~ We’ve been working on this video for the last two weeks ☺️ Thanks so much for watching!
@@2hearts1seoul I shared this video contents with my husband who came from Europe Netherlands. And he sympathized your experience.
My husband had a hard time for get a job in Korea.
So he worked at a small bar at first time.😅
At that time, His hourly wage was 6,000 won. 😂😂😂😂🤣
But now, he married me. So he can do any work in Korea 🥰
Awww, your husband is finally free~! 🙌😆
My bf and I previously thought about moving to Korea and I suggested him to teach English there as well but we didn't know where to start. I'm glad you made this video! It helped me understand it a lot more 😊
Would you be open to do a video on speaking in korean for 24hr? I've been dying to know what your level of Korean is! 😶
This brought back some memories when I taught in Hagwons (for a really really long time.) There's always pros and cons of everything no matter where you work or what you do. So mind as well do your best and opportunities may present themselves. That last comment, I couldn't resist, me having been a teacher for so long. Hahaha.
Sarah you are amazing, thank you so much for taking your time and answering all of our questions. Although, I have one that it didn't occurred to me, is there any interest in Korea to learn Spanish? I'm a native Spanish speaker, so i was just wondering. I hope you guys are okay, and start enjoying spring. Greetings from Chile!
Great video!
Thanks so much! :)
한국인인데 집중하게 되네요
이야기가 재밌어서 그런가
Please do 1 for Kyuho! Hahaha, interested in Kyuho's experience back in Korea and whether he intended to stay or leave in the future.
So interesting to know! I wish I was a native English speaker so I could teach English in Korea or anywhere haha I agree that there are no class discussions in Korea so i remember it was very difficult for me to adapt to a new class environment where class discussions are norms in America and it still is difficult till these says for me 😭
Thanks so much guys!!! Great info as I've always wanted to teach English in Korea. Keep up the great work. I love your videos!!
Very informative. 🙂Thank you. Have you considered videos about learning Korean, or even videos where Kyuho is teaching Korean. I would love something like that because in the country i live there are no decent courses and i would really love to learn some Korean, even basics
We likely won’t, but we REALLY recommend ‘Talk to Me in Korean’ ‘s website and UA-cam channel-they do a MUCH more amazing job than we could ever do 🙌
It is VERY true about fear of getting wrong answers!
I grew up in Korea & went to Canadian university, so I had exact "reverse" situation of what you had experienced. It took me a long time to (beside language ability) express myself & argue about things that are necessarily right or wrong to others.
Ohhh, interesting! 😯 It was definitely something I noticed sometimes in my classes.
This was a really interesting video! I was prepared for something a lot more negative but I feel like it's just not in Sarah's blood to be negative 😀
When I was younger I dreamed of teaching English in Korea but I can't because it's not my mother tongue. That kind of bums me out because I have a degree in pedagogy and have been teaching English for quite a few years now so technically I have the needed qualifications but unfortunately that's still not enough. 😔
Always nice to see you guys :D even when the topic was not one I would have known to be interesting in advance. But it really was very fascinating! Is there also demand for native speakers of other languages? And what is your background? Did you train with becoming a teacher in mind? Do you have a degree in education, English or pedagogy? Did you already have some teaching experience in Canada?
Really enjoyed the video Sarah thank you! I’m guessing there are many hagwons for English but do you know if hagwons for other languages such as French are a thing or if it’s rare?
Please tell Kyuho I turned on the Korean subtitles! I’m learning Korean so I will come back to the video to really study them. Direct translation is so hard!
Thank you for sharing your journey of being an English teacher abroad! ❤ Just curious though, any internationally accredited TESOL certification programs you can recommend we take, to increase our chances of getting to work in reputable English schools in South Korea?
Thanks so much for putting this together! Very interesting some of the experiences you had. I can see the difference between western education and asian education in the sense that western is a lot more democratic in a sense, and asian they just hammer hammer hammer you with work and learning. No way could I learn in that asian environment, way too stressful. Feel bad for those poor kids that have to deal with that, just a get ahead later. This is nothing new, but so competitive on the asian side for sure!
I worked at an international kindergarten in Jeju years ago. The students were wonderful, the curriculum was great and the other teachers were so nice too. The boss and her husband also seemed lovely at first but the boss suddenly changed (she had mental health issues yes, but it was no excuse for how we were treated) and at one point dragged me out of class during teaching hours to just scream at me (and called us all "ungrateful foreigners"). My apartment was moldy but I was young and put up with it. I would have stayed in Korea but I was afraid my boss would blacklist me against other companies.
I hate that your visa is tied to your job. I'm now in Japan, where it's SO much easier to change jobs. I miss Korea so much but I much prefer the visa system here. I don't regret my time in Korea though and the good definitely outweighed the bad.
Ohhh no :( Yes...I’ve heard very similar things (being yelled at for no reason, moldy apartment etc.) in my social circle as well. I had no idea the visa system differed so much in Japan, but that’s great it’s easier to change your job if you are in such a miserable position.
Thank you for the insight into your experience in South Korea as a teacher and illuminating the country's educational system. The South Korea and China and Japan place an emphasis on education and compliance. It seems to work in some ways for their business culture and educational system. But in the end, really, does it advance the student in a deeper way? Here in the US going to school sounds like a vacation compared to South Korea. And yet some of the American students excel and prosper and go on to have stellar business careers.
한글자막 감사합니다^^
Thanks for taking the time to film and edit this! One more question: is 38 too old to get hired to teach English in Korea? I currently work in healthcare but feeling burnt out and considering doing something different.
Woah me so early 😁
Do you think you could also make a video or some points about being a freelancer in Korea. I'm here under the f6 visa and my hagwon contract ends in the summer and I'm not sure if I want to sign another one. (Same as you, love teaching, hate babysitting😭)
Rewatching this again because Kyuho worked so hard on the Korean subs 😁
Hahah, thank youuu! 😂
Thank you, this is an Interesting insight -As a British person can i ask a question? There are a lot of differences between Northern American English and British English. Do parents sometimes want to check out which particular 'english' their child is taught. E.G. British do not say gotten, we use the word 'take' when you say 'bring' plus so many more different words/expressions.
Thank u for information.
이 영상이 제가 한국에서 영어 가르치기를 꿈 꾸는 외국인에게 한국 학원 문화에 대해서 알려주는 데 큰 도움이 될 것 같습니다! 감사합니다~
Tips for finding jobs? Most websites are filled with recruiters and it’s overwhelming. Especially not knowing which may be reliable, good, etc.
Since I didn’t use a recruiter and my school was recommended by a friend, I unfortunately don’t have any useful advice about that :( However, as I mentioned in the video, if you ask detailed questions and the person you’re corresponding with seems hurried, dismissive, or ‘off’, run away. If they are accommodating and answer all of your questions in a timely manner, they’re likely the real deal.
If you're out of Korea, going through a recruiter might not be so terrible but do your due diligence. If you are still in Korea, then you can find out via word of mouth or an FB group on Korea. Someone said she liked finding jobs via groups as they tended to be better and such.
I'm teaching through EPIK in Busan. I highly recommend going the public school route if its possible. I get 20 days total for a summer and winter vacation. I get sick leave, and paid leave for when I need to leave early after lessons. I have to plan my own materials but I get plenty of office work hours after classes finish for the day.
Thanks for sharing your experience of EPIK- it the option I am considering
저는 한국인이지만 궁금해서 끝까지 다봤네용ㅋㅋㅋ 지금 20대 후반이지만 저 초딩때 학원 3-4개 다녔는데 평균이였고... 심지어 초딩때 11개 다니는 애도 있었어요ㅠㅠ 어렸을때 다녔던 영어학원 원어민선생님들이 생각나네요.. ㅎㅎ 원어민선생님 자녀분이랑 같이 놀았던 기억이납니당.... 생각해보니 교육열이 너무 과한 나라에 오셔서 고생많으셨겠다 싶어요 😭 세라님도 넘 고생많으셨습니다!!
Imagine teaching a celebrity's kid and being a fan of their parents haha
PS I put the subtitles on just cause Kyuho spent hours on them 😁
Thank you for this helpful video! Is it possible to find an English teaching position at a company in an office atmosphere as a full time teacher? PS: I am an F6 visa holder
I don't even know korean....but I put korean subtitles on.... great video by the way
7:58 Ooh, great point about children and parents calling classmates "friends(친구)".
Watched a video recently where Dr. Eun Young Oh (오은영, famous for the show 금쪽같은 내새끼)
said it's kind of a misnomer in Korea and that parents should call them classmates(같은반 아이들).
You were saying the exact same thing as her, so that speaks volumes of the great teacher you were :)
I guess it took on a similar meaning as when we say "that guy" in English. Anyway, super insightful as always! 👍
Omg i love that show!!!!
Sarah, I honestly think that this kid at 9:00 had a crush on u loooool also, in terms of class discussion thing, I think Korean kids are pretty shy bcuz they're so afraid of saying something wrong in front of the class (so that they look stupid) as... Korean culture is more conscious of "how they look" in public in general I'd say? A lot of Korean people I met here in Toronto are like that too so that they kinda don't actively engage with local Canadians to practice English, therefore some limited speaking skills - but this could be just my reductionist view lool Korean education is kinda "spoonfed" didactic teaching, from what I had experienced :P
항상 응원하고 있습니다, 굿 잡 세라씨,
I'm a Filipino CPA working in university as professor here in Philippines and I think this video became helpful to me as I imagine myself working in neighboring Asian countries like Korea.. I really like to teach English or work in Korea as well.. In the midst of pandemic I hope I can get an opportunity there too or someone might read my comment.. I'm open to possiblities of exploring internationally and this video is inspiring as well to do it..😁 More power to your channel too
I agree, about the difference between the Korean classroom environment vs the western classroom.
I don't know much about Kpop but I have a friend who is a blink and he said that when he was watching "Blackpink Light up the Sky" on Netflix there was a segment with Jennie where she was describing her time studying in New Zealand for 5 years. He told me that she said that she had more independence at school in New Zealand than she did in South Korea. That was one of my favorite moments when I was watching the documentary.
You said that it was your "friend" who watched the show but then at the end of the comment you said that this fact was your favorite part of the show?
@@starstriker32 Ok then, fine, it was me who was watching the documentary, I am a Blink.
굉장히 중립적이고 편견 없는 의견 감사합니다. 요즘 유튜브에 넘쳐나는
황당한 국뽕 채널들보다 이분의 의견이
현실적이고 실제와 훨씬 가깝네요
이런 분들의 채널이 유튜브에서 더 인기를
얻기를 바래봅니다.
May I ask you something, Sarah? Where do you get your tops? This one especially looks so nice! Any tips where to get this kind of style?
Sorry for asking this random question.
Thank you for making this video! That was quite interesting! I am an introvert myself, so I can really sympathise with this throwing-myself-into-the-cold-water-mindset when it comes to getting better at socialising. Relieved to hear it can get better!
Btw when it comes to your ads: I am not a fan of these USUALLY (who is) but with you guys it’s like this: Well, they have been honest with us and explained it’s a tough time and said there will be more and not just did it. There’s a legit reason. Thanks for being so transparent and honest :) The reason I don’t use any adblockers.
I liked your honesty in this video as well!
I just love watching your videos. Makes me feel relaxed and when I am in a bad mood it helps as well!
Ohh, thank you! It’s just a simple white button up shirt from Forever 21 I got when they had their liquidation sale in Korea 💦 I think you could find one there, at H&M-anywhere really since it’s such a basic style :)
Thank you so much for watching the video ☺️
Yup, in order to keep doing what we love (uploading videos weekly on our channel), there’s no feasible way to keep doing this without ads or brand deals, as we are not a huge channel getting millions of views. We are super selective of the brands we work with and only feature ones we actually use and love. This ensures that we don’t have to just make videos that cater to the UA-cam algorithm to get clicks (not our style), but we can continue to make content that is ‘us’ and what our subscribers are here for, and makes a living as well ☺️ Thanks so much for understanding ☺️🥰
@@2hearts1seoul Thank you for answering!
Your tops look so good all the time haha
That’s something I love so much about you guys as well: You only do what you really like and not just going for the money. That can be seen in every single video! A big reason I enjoy watching them because you enjoy making them! Nothing to thank for 😊☺️
고등학교때 저희 학교 원어민쌤이 캐나다 여자분이셨고 학교에 어린 딸들을 자주 데려왔는데 학생들이 놀아줬었어요ㅎ 그땐 별 생각 없었는데 지금 생각하니 베이비시터 문제로 곤란해 하다가 학교에 데려오셨던 것 같네요... 그냥 문득 그 선생님이 떠올랐어요. 학생들이 다 그 선생님 좋아했는데ㅎ.. 잘 지내시겠죠?ㅎ
제가 아는 분도 국제학교 선생님이신데 아이를 데리고 오시더라구요 ㅎㅎ 아직 어리고 베이비시터도 찾기 어렵다고 들었어요
Very interesting. Well composed and delivered for an introvert😉.
I was sweating the whole time and needed to rest after filming, lol 😬💦
