A Little About Our Teaching Philosophy
At SUTTON, we believe that teaching is most rewarding when we help students discover what they are truly capable of.
Sometimes, a student may have an interesting idea but struggle to put it into words. Other times, a simple question or a little encouragement can turn a few sentences into a thoughtful, well-developed paragraph.
We enjoy those moments.
Rather than simply correcting mistakes or providing answers, we encourage our teachers to explore students' ideas, ask meaningful questions, and help children become more confident and independent thinkers.
We believe that learning should be academically meaningful, but also enjoyable for both students and teachers.
If you find satisfaction in watching children gradually develop their confidence, creativity, and ability to express themselves, we think you'll enjoy teaching at SUTTON.

Our curriculum provides a structured academic foundation while leaving room for creativity, thoughtful discussions, and engaging classroom activities.

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: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, 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!
