If you have a passion for teaching, love explaining the complexities of English plurals, and an addiction to KBBQ, then taking TEFL courses in Seoul will light a fire in your soul hotter than the spicy pork!

TEFL Programs in Seoul

If you think back to a typical classroom in your home country, what does it look like? You’re probably envisioning multiple desks, chairs, a whiteboard, and a few other classroom supplies. Well, imagine this: a classroom full of people from all over the world, eating traditional Korean foods, like kimchi, and windows that provide views of temples, large shopping districts, and peaceful lakes all at once. If this classroom sounds more appealing than the first (which we hope it does), then you may want earn TEFL certification in Seoul.

Newly certified ESL teachers in Seoul will have the opportunity to share the power of knowing a foreign language. English teaching is a fairly large job market in South Korea, so there are plenty of folks like you going there to get TEFL certified AND get the leg-up in the job hunt. TEFL courses in Seoul will be a lot of fun, too. Who knows, maybe you’ll bump into a few of your TEFL classmates (or teacher! #awkward!)#awkward!) as you’re exploring the Jogyesa Temple or wandering around Bukhansan National Park; just don’t forget to say “hello!”

TEFL programs in Seoul run year-round and can be flexible to your schedule and availability. Keep in mind the academic calendar in Seoul divided up into either quarters or semesters, and the school year either goes from September to June or from August to May; try to get the timing of your certification aligned with the start of a school year to hop on any job op’s.
