One. Assuming three classes a week, I guess. |

Regarding working privately (from another thread)

OP,
I am American and my wife is Korean and we have a LEGAL "hakwon" in our home. When we were filling out our tutor's license info at the local Education Office I saw that E-2 and F series holders ARE legally allowed to teach English privately (but since I am on an F series visa..I cared not to inquire about how and E-2 holder could do it). When we inquired about me doing privates the woman in charge of licensing was not sure, so she thumbed through the "rule book" to see who is allowed...and I saw E-2, but you may need permission from your primary place of employment (assuming you have one and not a tourist). That'll be your homework (take a Korean with you to the Kyo yook cheong <교육청>spelling?). From there they can explain in detail how much you are allowed to charge, how many students per class, and taxation issues.
Just fyi, our limits are: 9 students per room and 300,000 won per month per student max. <<Addition to original post: max (for Choongbook Province) =300,000 per student, per month... regardless of the amount of contact hours...retarded, I know.>> To get around that limit, since it's you and your wife, just split the fee. I mean, our HS students pay 500,000 a month. 300,000 for my wife and 200,000 for my services....so just claim the max, but there are some caveats. I will post a detailed explanation soon.
Do not visit immigration to ask them for permission...ours (I told my wife not to ask as I knew their retarded answer) told us explicitly "No!" (even rudely), yet 30 minutes later I submitted my forms <<to the education office>> and got my certificate 3 days later in the mail.
One last thing...I'd keep it on the legit side. Jealous people are everywhere, Korean and non-Korean and will rat you out (even if you are legit...just to give you a headache or until they realise you are legally teaching).
Good luck! |

As I posted in the above response...I have limits for how much I charge. So, this means that I'd make the following for one of my classes: 300,000 per student, per month @ a maximum of 6 students (though we are allowed a max of 9...but seriously, would you want that?). So, for five 50-minute sessions per week we'd make 1,800,000 won.
I say "we'd" 'cause we give family-rates (discounts) for those with more than one member uses our services, so the net earnings are lower for certain classes.
Any help?
!shoosh,
Ryst |

| Ryst, do you make your students pay for their books, or do you provide them gratis? |

Free. I do not want to seem petty and out 'only' for the money. Plus, we really don't use a book all that much so one regular 'series book' can last a good few months. We've num material so why burden the parents. However, we do have the parents buy their child(ren)'s Graded Readers.
!shoosh,

| From looking at worknplay it looks like there are lots of jobs. I wonder if I could get something using my French. Maybe a translation job. I also have experience in video and studio work. Or perhaps voice work, I used to do some radio. Has anyone ever worked in those fields here? |
Malheureusement, there isn't much of a demand for French speaking skills here. |
