Travel to Incheon International Airport (IIA) in Seoul where normally you will be picked up by our arrival team. You will make your way on arrival to your accommodation.

Upon your arrival at the school, an induction is organised to help you settle into your school. You will receive important information about school policies, procedures, and resources available to you. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to review lesson plans and curriculum expectations to ensure a smooth transition into your teaching role, as well as meet your fellow teachers.

Private schools, also known as Hagwons, have fewer classes and usually offer after-school activities in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings.

Your students will be largely young elementary and primary school students with a mixed level of English ability, providing you with a fantastic first-time teaching experience. During your 40-hour work week, you can expect to spend roughly 30 hours on hands-on teaching, allowing you time to develop lessons based on the in-house curriculum. Your main goal will be to help your eager pupils gain confidence as they improve their English skills through conversational English practice.

You’ll get the opportunity to seek assistance from local educators, but don’t forget to implement your own creative abilities in the classroom; this is your moment to shine!

Congratulations, you did it! Make sure to celebrate this achievement. It’s time to decide if you’d like to see more of South Korea, traveling or teaching (or both).

You might decide to extend your stay in Korea and teach for longer by renewing your contract. The possibilities are endless for you now as a confident and experienced TEFL teacher.
