The Ultimate Teach Korea Job Board!
Our job board collects posts from more than 10 ESL job sites so you can see practically every Korean job listing in one place. Keep these things in mind while you hunt for jobs in Korea:
- Never send anyone money, bank account info or your social security number for a job in Korea. You should never have to pay a real recruiter.
- Don’t sign anything until you have read the contract yourself and talked to a current foreign teacher at the school.
- Resist the tempation to accept your first job offer. Ask for some time to consider and wait to receive other offers to compare it to.

I’m trying to recruit a foreign teacher at my school. Please let me know if you’ll be able to help me and how much you will charge me.
Thanks for your interest, but we are not in the recruiting business. Our website is simply an information resource for people interested in teaching English in Korea.
To whom it may concern,
I received a mailer from a different company recently that offered a paid English teaching position in China for a semester. This mailer did generate in me an interest to do something like this, something I had never considered and didn’t know much about. I eventually learned that China is not the only option (nor the best-paying option) for teaching English in a foreign country. I’ve been taking a look at different English-teaching websites and came across yours. The variety of opportunities your company presents definitely look enticing, but I can only afford to take a position that is less than a year (most likely only a semester). I am definitely planning on being back in the States to go back to school for the Jan-April 2013 semester, so I’m wondering this: are there opportunities you know of that I could take that fit the time frame I’m looking for (being done by the end of 2012)? I would appreciate being contacted asap and being told whether this is possible. Thank you,

Hi J.D.
The short answer is yes, you can get a temporary work visa and find recruiters that are hiring for either temporary or part-time work. It is difficult, however, to find a short-term position, as most schools are looking to sign teachers for one-year contracts. Start looking now on recruiting boards (our website has a few links), and you might be able to find an English summer camp opening that would be just for the summer or fall. Good luck!
