I am on an E2 visa
Called my local Gu-education office and I applied for a legal turtoring licence. F2 holders are ofcourse allowed to attain this documnet.
With permission from my boss to seek extra sources of employment/income and all the paper work in hand - they checked the rules - having had no such requests before - they asked me to wait and after an hour or so they could find no reason to deny my request.
They sent me home to wait for an offical response.
What are my chances???? the licence would be a good thing to have.
Cheers |

The GU office may (wrongly) give you a licence but immigration won't allow you to use it. You will NOT be able to add it to your ARC. |

If your boss is OK with it, why not have the tutoring happen at your primary workplace, giving a small fee to your employer for facilities, but not the regular gouging.
Ever realize that the typical hagwon charges about 10,000 per hour per student, so a class of ten brings in 100,000? And, the foreign teacher usually gets paid 20,000 per hour. |

Also, if you are a teacher at a public school (any level) you cannot legally obtain the tutor license because Korea has a law barring all public school teachers (including Koreans) from tutoring privately (to insure they don't charge for teaching their own school students). If you work at an academy then it should be no hassle as long as you have an f2 visa or higher.
I have no idea if the same holds true for Uni jobs. Does anyone know? |
