A bit about me and my academy. I am a fully licensed elementary school teacher from Toronto, Canada. My wife and I have been running our after school English language academy for 5 years. There are three Native English teachers currently here and we are looking to add a fourth. My academy is located in a new city called Yeongjongdo that is rapidly growing and expanding. We are located an hour away from central Seoul via public transportation.
Some small bonuses: Housing is located in a newly constructed building and the apartment is semi-furnished (bed, fridge, microwave, washer, dryer, t.v., wifi). It is a 5 minute walk from the school to the apartment and grocery stores, cafes and restaurants. It is also a 10 minute walk to the seaside and a massive seaside park. A swimming beach is located 40 minutes away by local bus or a bike path. Small town life with modern amenities and easy access to Seoul and surrounding area.
