I represent a small English hagwon in Suncheon.
We currently have a British owner-teacher and a Korean English-speaking assistant.
We teach students from kindergarten to adult age, and we are looking for a teacher who is confident working with kindergarten and adult students due to sudden high demand. The start date is negotiable as this is a brand-new position, but an October start would be ideal.
The perfect candidate would be a warm, bubbly, outgoing person with great conversational skills. A female teacher would be preferable, but a male teacher who has the right personality and genuinely likes kindergarten-aged children would also be welcome.
Preference will be given to a person already in Korea who can transfer an existing E-2 visa.
The owner has worked in Korea as a native speaker at public schools and hagwons for more than 10 years, and he understands the position of teachers. He will continue to teach full-time at the hagwon and oversee operations in their entirety. However, his schedule is now too full to meet the demands of new customers.
Suncheon is a small but thriving city, and we are located in a very modern area by a scenic lake. The upmarket local area has a variety of cafes, bakeries and restaurants serving Korean, American, Mexican, SE Asian, Indo-Korean fusion, and Italian cuisine. The main nightlife district, with options ranging from Korean fried chicken to wine and cocktail bars, is a short taxi ride away. There is also a friendly community of foreign teachers who will be happy to welcome a new face.
For this new position at our small but growing hagwon, we are offering our new teacher a modest salary in line with Suncheon standards. An increase will be available the following year if the teacher is successful in motivating and retaining students.
