Korea offers some of the best benefits packages for English teachers in the world, with high salaries, free housing and generous amounts of paid vacation. Greenheart Travel has been selected by the Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and the Korean National Institute of International Education to offer this program to qualified candidates. There is no fee for this program; the expenses are absorbed by the Korean government in support of its goals to foster international education and cross-cultural understanding. Teachers enjoy rent free accommodations and a tax-deferred salary that is plenty to cover their living expenses plus save a substantial amount for travel, paying off loans or saving for a house. In addition to a generous monthly salary, teachers also receive entrance and exit bonuses that are nearly equivalent to one month's salary.
