We're new, growing faster than we expected, and need another teacher so class sizes stay manageable. Posting this myself, I handle curriculum and teacher management.
Visa: Open to F-visa or E-2. We sponsor E-2.
LSA coverage: No, we're under 5 full-time staff.
Salary: 2.5 mil+/month, negotiable depending on experience. Prefer a standard contract but open to hourly.
Grade level: Elementary
Class length: 50 or 100 min. Teacher decides when to break up the 100-min ones.
Class hours: ~20/week
Working hours: 13:00–20:00, Mon–Fri (7 hrs, prep included)
Break: 30 min minimum daily, falls within the prep blocks below, timing moves around depending on the day
Prep time: 13:00–14:30 and 19:00–20:00, so 2.5 hrs/day built in
Weekends: Not required. Saturday hours available if you want them, paid hourly.
Overtime: 30,000/hour for anything outside normal hours — camps, intensives, etc.
Vacation: 2 weeks paid, one week each in summer and winter, academy sets the dates
Red days: Off, unless a make-up class needs to happen that day — then it's paid at 150% daily wage
Sick leave: Standard LSA
Flight: Provided, one-way or round-trip, we'll work out details
Insurance/pension: All 4, yes
Severance: Yes, paid out separately, not folded into salary
Housing: Provided, or a monthly allowance instead if you'd rather
Other: Bachelor's degree (any field), clean background check. E-2 applicants need citizenship from US/Canada/UK/Ireland/Australia/NZ/South Africa. Elementary experience is a plus but we're not ruling anyone out over it.
About the workplace: New academy in Dajeong-dong, Sejong. Family-run — Korean spouse handles parents, NET spouse runs curriculum and manages teachers. No Korean teaching staff yet, just the two of us on the ownership side.
Honestly: we want someone who's here to actually teach, not just occupy a room until the bell rings. That's the whole reason we built the schedule the way we did. And since we're still small, you'll actually have a say in how things run!

⏳ 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!
