Teaching in Seoul - ESL Teaching

Gmartin · Wed 19-Jul-06, 01:14 PM

Hi, I am wondering if anyone can help me. I want to teach English in Seoul but I dont have a Degree. I do have a TESOL Advanced Diploma though.

Does anyone know of any way to get around this? Are there some flexible schools who will employ someone without a Degree? Also, any good or bad experiences would help as a warning.

Thanks

Have you considered summer camps? You can then build a relationship with the employer, and then they may bend over backwards to get your visa.

Immigration only issues visas to those who hold a degree.

When you ask about bad experiences, in what regards do you mean? In selecting schools, accommodation, food, the language or what?

Gmartin - Judging by your flag, you are already in Korea and you are Korean-Australian. So you don't have a Korean passport?? If you want to teach in Korea for a while, have you considered getting one? You may be eligible if you have family living in Korea now.

Thanks for the info guys. I am Korean-Australian and technically I do have family in Korea but I dont know where as I am adopted. How do I get information on Summer camps?
