Teaching Positions in Busan

Those looking to teach English in Busan are expected to hold at least a bachelors degree in education or a related field. The application process can be extensive, however employers will be largely helpful in this process. Be prepared to submit a background check, resume, and letters of reference. Korean schools are looking to hire passionate and creative ESL teachers, especially public schools, and hiring committees take experience and educational background seriously.

Teachers are asked to participate in weekly meetings with other faculty to develop community and support. Foreign teachers are in many circumstances given a native Korean co-teacher to help with adjustment. Teaching responsibilities include but are not limited to teaching grammar, leading role plays, and leading extracurricular activities. English speaking natives are highly admired and respected in this culture and knowledge of Korean typically isn’t a requirement and in fact, desired in order to help students learn. While certain aspects of teaching jobs in Busan may be overwhelming at times, teachers are highly supported.

Program: Teach at Public Schools in South Korea with Korean Horizons

I'm currently in my second year teaching in South Korea through GOE in the same position Korean Horizons helped me secure. Korean Horizons made everything from the very first steps in the application process, dealing with moving logistics, arriving in South Korea, and settling in very simple and straightforward. Alistair (of Korean Horizons) was very responsive, and went the extra mile to make the transition abroad as smooth as possible. I couldn't have asked for more support and communication than what he provided. If you're considering applying to teach in South Korea, I highly recommend going through Korean Horizons. You won't regret it!
