Getting Started - Getting Ready To Teach In Korea

Before you send us an application we recommend going through our list of ‘getting started’ recommendations.  We realize the Gone2Korea website is quite large so if you’re searching for specific information but can’t find what you’re looking for then try using our sitemap.

First off, before diving into a year-long commitment it’s probably wise to do some research on South Korean culture.  Most westerners truly enjoy the experience of teaching and living abroad,; however, this experience is not for everyone so make sure you know of what you’re getting yourself involved with before moving forward. If you’ve already done your research and are ready to begin the adventure of a lifetime then let’s get started!

1. Make sure you meet the minimum application requirements.

2. Are you able to secure all of the documents needed to secure a Korean work visa? Note: You’re more than welcome to send us your application before you have acquired all of the necessary documents.

3. Read through the pages of our site that offer insight about school expectations and teacher responsibilities. It’s best to familiarize yourself with the duties and obligations that are associated with the job before committing to the process. If you’re not comfortable with teacher responsibilities then chances are you’re not suited for employment in the teaching field.

4. Decide what starting dates you’ll be able to accommodate. When you fill out our online application form please indicate the absolute earliest date you will be able to leave for Korea. The Gone2Korea staff will do their best to match you with jobs that have similar starting dates. Please Note: It’s sometimes difficult to match teachers with their preferred arrival dates; therefore, having some flexibility may be required. We have positions available 12 months of the year but the majority of jobs become available at the start of each semester. Click When to Apply for more details.

5. Try to decide which employment sector, public or private, is best for you. Unfortunately we’re unable to offer you jobs from both sectors; therefore, it’s important to choose which option you’d like to pursue. For more information please visit our private English schools in Korea and public English schools in Korea pages. If you’re not sure which sector you’d like to pursue then a Gone2Korea representative will gladly discuss the options and differences with you in detail. Note: Sometimes we only have options available with certain programs; much depends on your availability and the number of applications we’re receiving.

6. Although Korea is geographically small, it’s has more than a dozen large urban cities (populations of 1 million+ people), dozens of medium sized cities (populations of 0.5 – 1 million people), and countless small cities and rural areas. For detailed information on Korea’s major urban centers please visit our popular destinations pages. For those who prefer smaller cities and less populated areas we suggest that you review our Korean cities and provinces guide for thorough information and links to 100 Korean cities. Again, if you’re not sure what’s best then please don’t hesitate to discuss options and ideas with one of our representatives. Note: It’s best to have 2 or 3 locations preferences in mind - having a preference for one location only may limit your options.
