Teach English in Busan, South Korea

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.

Travel Grad have helped me journey to the other side of the world and helped me achieve exactly what I wanted. Even after the 2020 pandemic struck and caused a delay in my application , Travel Grad continued to support me throughout and ensured I would be able to travel when it was safe and when it worked best for me. I never felt rushed in my application and always felt like so could tell Travel Grad any issues I had. They were always understanding, patient, and kind throughout my entire application. They are an excellent team and I’m very grateful for their help.

South Korea is a fantastic Country, (significantly if you grew up in the UK) It's so safe, you can literally leave your phone on the table and disappear for an hour, come back and it will still be there! The people are amicable and genuinely do their best to help foreigners in need. Enough people in big cities (not countryside places) speak broken English, so you can get by fine - Download papago! Getting used to the style of food here is quite an experience, they have some strange combinations and some very delicious ones. If you're not a fan of their food it's okay, the quality of the foreign food here is incredible! it won't make you feel at home, because it's better than the food at home. There are lots to see, if you love party life Korea has some amazing clubs. The drink prices are cheap, travelling is very cheap. Honestly, it's a no-brainer. For one year of your life, I recommend everyone should travel. This place like many other countries will open up your eyes, and the way you perceive life. You'll never meet people like you do when you travel, all unique personalities with different life stories. The first 3 months feel difficult because youre having a culture shock but also need things like an ARC card to sign up for most things like getting a phone contract etc. But once you overcome that hurdle it's smooth sailings. Remember you are coming here with nothing as a new citizen, so there are things to sort out. If I can do it, anyone can. All great things come at a price, this one just takes courage... with that, I'll end with a quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt... “Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.”
