Teaching in Korea gives you an amazing opportunity
to travel to a beautiful country with 5,000 years of colorful history
while having your airfare paid for. It also gives you a chance to experience
a new, exciting, fun loving culture, with your comfortable private housing
paid for. All the while you will be teaching to a group of eager students
who respect and admire your command of English language. This is truly
an opportunity of lifetime.
Normal salary range is between $2,000 and $2,500 per
month. With Korea’s low income tax rate (around 4 - 7%) and free housing
plus severance pay (equal to 1month salary) ultimately amounts around
$45,000 annual salary. A number of teachers save up to $15,000 when
coming back home.
South Korean economy has advanced rapidly since the
1950s and is now the 11th largest (nominal value) economy in the world.
South Korea is also one of the world's most technologically advanced
and digitally connected countries. It has the fourth highest broadband
Internet connections per capita among OECD countries and is a global
leader in electronics, digital displays, and mobile phones.
Korea is a safe nation with one of the lowest criminal
activity rate among all modern nations. Korea is a beautiful country
with 5000 years of colorful history coupled with jaw dropping natural
wonders offering you a heaven of cultural sightseeing opportunity.
Strong desire for excellence in education drives Korean
parents to spend a large portion of their budget in education for their
kids. Emphasis on learning English tops the list of things to do for
the students in Korea. English is a main core curriculum starting in
the 3rd grade, but in reality kids as young as 2 to 3 years old learn
English in private institutions. Korean adults also invest their time
learning business English at various institutions. Such high demand
for English studies correlates to a high demand for qualified teachers.
This is the reason why you will be treated with respect and admiration,
ultimately giving you a deep sense of self-gratification. |
