That is per month and yes they do take older people as well.

Or did I miss that ? TY . Do they take old people like a 59 year old teacher ?

Thanks for this post. I went into ESL in Korea as a “gap year” and wasn’t in the best place in my life to go out there. It was a lot of soju and a very unprofessional hagwan. I ended up leaving after 6 months because I wasn’t fulfilled. I got a masters in education and ended up moving up the career ladder getting into international schools. A lot more mature and more focused I was able to get fast tracked into a good career in the international schools. Korea would be a place I’d have a crack at again now that I’m in a better place. A lot of what you write is great and I’m happy to see you have such a positive experience.
Cheers,

Life isn’t perfect here, but it’s pretty good. I mostly do freelance and part time work. I’d recommend anyone that is thinking of coming here to do there research. Make sure u you end up in a city you want to be and a position to you like.

I did not realize that there are recruiting fees. Great info.
