I live in Sanbon and I'd like to employ a Korean tutor, but I have no idea where to post an advertisement. Does anyone know? If so, please PM me,
Thanks! |

| Most of the university language schools and smaller hagwons will rent out their teachers or put you in touch with a good tutor. Try giving a call to your closest one. |

Watch out though. Often they put you through a person who needs the money but lacks teaching skills or experience. Just because they can speak the language.
Actually, that sounds familiar..
But seriously, watch out. ask for a certificate of some sort, or a teaching syllabus at the very least and make sure they're not there to waste your time and steal your money.. |

| Just look in the personals/people section of the Korea Herald. There are always lots of ads from Koreans seeking to teach foreigners Korean in an exchange setting. |

the problem is, just being a native speaker in no way qualifies you to be a teacher...so hes probably not gonna learn much more than vocab and a few phrases. |

Yeah, this thread is getting amusing. The above quote describes about 98% of the 'English teachers' here. No offense intended to the serious, qualified professionals out there. |

I don't know, I'm not on that side.
The actual number of people in Korea who are qualified to TEACH Korean is very small, just like the actual number of people in Korea who are qualified to TEACH English is very small (Korean English teachers can't speak the language, '원어민' English teachers are rarely actually qualified to teach the language)
I would suggest uni classes. Expensive, but you'll come out the other side with an acceptable knowledge of the Korean language. |
