Canadian High School Student in Korea. SEeking guidance.

Hey.

So I'm a Canadian high school student in korea. I actually finished half of my gr12 year and had to drop out due to health reasons. But now I'm healthy so I thought I'd do something useful while I'm here. I've been reading a lot about the possiblity to teach english in Korea but it seams bleak for me to get a paying job. Since I don't have a bachelors degree or even a high school diploma yet. But I am a good student... top 20 of our grade out of 240. I've read about private tutoring as well but I've read that it is illegal =(.

So my only option is to volunteer my services... Would say a korean elementary school accept my offer? Maybe as like an "assistant teacher" that just goes around for 1on1 help or helping out with classes and such.
Anyways here is more about me... I'm actually Korean... lived about 15 years in North America... I speak Korean fluently as well as English...

Any advice would be appreciated about what I could do with my time here.
