We are a well-established, mid-sized private English academy based in Busan, South Korea's second-largest city and home to one of Asia's most vibrant expat communities.
With years of operation and a loyal student base, we offer teachers what truly matters: a structured, professional environment, a supportive Korean staff, and a predictable schedule that lets you actually enjoy living in Korea.
We are NOT a startup. We have systems. We have materials. You come in, teach well, and go home on time.
This is more than a job. It's a year (or more) of your life well spent — in one of the most exciting cities in Asia, with a team that actually supports you.
Come teach in Busan. You won't regret it.

[WHY BUSAN?]
Most teachers default to Seoul. Smart teachers pick Busan.
> THE BEACH IS REAL
Haeundae and Gwangalli beaches are world-famous.
After class, you can literally walk to the sea.
In Seoul, the closest thing is the Han River.
> YOUR SALARY GOES FURTHER
Cost of living in Busan runs 30–40% lower than Seoul.
Same paycheck. Far more lifestyle.
> MOUNTAINS + OCEAN IN ONE CITY
Hike Geumjeongsan in the morning.
Swim in the East Sea in the afternoon.
There is no other city in Korea like this.
> BUSAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (BIFF)
Every October, Busan becomes one of Asia's biggest cultural events. Living here = being part of it.
> FOOD CAPITAL OF KOREA
Fresh seafood markets, Jagalchi Fish Market, legendary street food in Gukje Market. Seoul chefs come HERE to eat. That says everything.
> KTX HIGH-SPEED RAIL TO SEOUL
Seoul is 2.5 hours away by train. You get the best of both worlds.
> TIGHT-KNIT EXPAT COMMUNITY
Busan's foreign teacher community is smaller than Seoul's — which makes it warmer, more connected, and easier to build real friendships fast.
> LESS COMPETITION, MORE ADVENTURE
Busan is growing fast. Restaurants, cafes, art spaces, and nightlife are expanding every year. You'll feel like you got here at the right moment.

📌 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!
