*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

[@CariW90]

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 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)

[@Plu255]

I want to be a teacher in Korea, buuuuut, I’m from Norway, and my first language is Norwegian.. yes, I can still become a teacher but any native English speaker will be prioritized, the school will have a better “image” if their English teacher is from an English speaking country :/

I really enjoyed my teaching experience in Korea and would totally recommend it! I ended up teaching adults at a hagwon.

[@Stefi.Kitsune]

Aw you posted this after I already found a position. I applied on company sites and with recruiters. I put in a preference for Busan but may be open to other places.

Im glad i found your vlogs!This is really helpful 💕 I'm already in my senior year for a bachelor's degree in education and i really have no idea what to do after school 😭 Even though I'm not a native english speaker (Filipino), this motivated me to really pursue teaching in south korea 💕

[@gelatinstuffz]

Omgg same 😭 perhaps do you know some ways so we can be eligible to teach in South Korea?

[@koyel9562]

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.

Question: Are you allowed to have someone else live with you? Since the school pays your housing. I’m currently going for my bachelors and your journey intrigued me, but I’m curious if a significant other joins me if they’d be allowed to live with me or if that’s against rules.

[@adriennehilll]

I’ve heard of people doing this so I don’t think it’s an issue!

[@HaileeAdelia]

I've done a ton of research on this, and it seems like it isn't a issue and it IS possible, BUT keep in mind that if you are both teaching that there has to be two job openings either in the same area or at the same school so it may take longer or narrow your options!

[@ameliarose47]

Ty so much!!! And I’d be the only one teaching since he isn’t and doesn’t plan on going to college. Ty for the info and amazing video Adriene

[@jacknoonan9172]

They won't prioritise putting you together. Most (even married) couples I know are separated by quite a distance. Most couples that live together applied to hagwons that would accept them or work at international schools (they do package deals with couples/couples with kids).

[@KassieJane]

@@ameliarose47 Just wondering if you and your S.O is married. if he has no college education and no plans to teach, there's no way he can get a 1 year-long visa unless he accompanies you as a legal spouse.

[@dorissalazar6560]

what were some of the requests you demanded when deciding which school to teach? for example, did you demand to teach a certain age group?

[@ellebee511]

8:15. She answered that specifically

[@pearlthomas7784]

I want to be an language teacher in the future, either teaching English in another country or teaching another language here, always looking into different paths I can take and this looks interesting

[@141910starbright]

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 :(
