Hi, I am having a bit difficulty in finding a 3 week sub for me in August. I don't really know where to post ads and this site requires a little too much money to post an ad.

Do you think I should spend the money, or are there alternative ways to get the word out?

Please respond quickly, because I do not have much time to find someone and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Can this be done? Are you at a public school?

I assume your co-teachers would have to take over if this is the case. You'd better have a good excuse.

you have to pay to advertise on this site but there are other sites, for expats in korea where you may be able to find someone without buying an ad

Buddy. Getting a substitute teach is hard.

First off. Most of the time a sub teach is going to be illegal. Schools usally want a wayguk English speaker. And the only wayguk people who can teach legally are usually married. And F-2 people probably have a good enough job to not need picking up scraps. And who wants to go to the length of getting a legal teacher for 3 weeks for 3/4 of a basic months salary or whatever.

Next off. Getting a sub teach is hard because even if the school willing to risk illegal teacher they rarely want to pay the money said teacher wants. Heck I have known schools who want the teacher who is going away to pay or give up their wage to pay the teacher.

My advice is look for a friend who can help you. But most friends who rather drink beer with you or move a body then work for three weeks.

Try facebook many people post jobs for part time there too.

How much is the salary, where is the school located, and does it offer housing?
