***If you understand the above, this is what we have to offer.***

Most of our teachers have no issues with this area due to its easy accessibility (airport, ktx, and bus station) and close proximity to shops and restaurants.
About the Academy:
The Academy: Established in 2015, the academy is AMERICAN owned and operated. The owner is also an educator and teaches classes directly, so the various perspectives and concerns of students, teachers, and parents are understood.
We believe that happy teachers make happy students. Thus, we try our best to keep our teachers happy and focused on delivering the best classes that they can. Parent Contact or Phone Calls are not required as the administrative staff support the teachers with this.
Curriculum / Teaching: The academy does not use a standard/typical Korean curriculum. The curriculum has been developed by the teachers and has been proven to be effective and reliable. The teachers that have developed this curriculum have years of experience working at some of the top name brand academies, and have sought to improve upon or fill in missing areas of those curriculums. There is no page turning of course books, the teachers are given freedom to teach lessons that follow a Roadmap of Skills. Thus, classes are more engaging and student centered. A lot of our classes are game based and very fun!

Please mention that you found the job on Teast for the school's reference.
You need to be from one of the following counties to teach English in South Korea: USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa. If you are not from one of those countries, you can still teach English in most other countries. This requirement is specific to South Korea and school's can only issue visa's to teachers from those listed countries.
Due to the high number of applications the schools receive they may not be able to respond to every application. If you don't hear back from them within a week or so, it's best to move on to the next job.
When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy anything which they then pay you back for later. NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. Scams in TEFL are rampant, be careful!
