 |
|
| If you have an F-2 visa, and have registered with the education office, would you have no troubles advertising yourself as a private teacher in apartment complexes, like the hagwons do? Or would you need the next level of visa to do that? (F-5??) |

There is no problem at all.
But you do need to pay to have the right to hang your poster. the price depends on the Complex.
I did it with an F-2-1. |

The debate I'm hearing elsewhere is that you can have a maximum of only 9 students if you are a legal private teacher.
Anyone care to elaborate? |

| In Seoul I used to do it w/ a E2 until I got so much response i couldn't handle it any longer. I weeded out the bad jobs (wonky parents, cheapskates) and ended up making more on a couple of hours on weekdays and a few on sat than I was making at BCM, my old hagwon. |

| No, not really. I targeted the most expensive apt complexes and got a few good parents and it was all word of mouth after that. |

Exactly!
Only people who are well off are willing to pay for it.
Weeding out the undesirables is also good, they will not make it your worth while.
I have been getting new students only by Word of Mouth, and I only advertised for one whole week.
Koreans are always into some kind of social groups, and if you can make one mother happy, she will bring you a couple of more students. |

| There are some Korean social websites that ajumma meet other ajumma from. They meet on there and form little groups of like-minded friends who are concerned about their kids' education. |

Having credentials from a top tier US University to graciously shove under their noses doesn't hurt either...  |
