I'm really interested to know.

[Demophobe]

I bet you are.

The correct answer is....

perhaps.

[Olivencia]

Perhaps?
That's all the incentive I need to go for it. Thanks!

[tzechuk]

Perhaps?

The answer is definitely. Sookmyung Women's University has many male teachers in all subjects.

There are many western guys teaching there, too.

I had a job at a girls' high school a few years ago, and a friend of mine worked at Ewha Women's University for five years. Yeah, they'll hire males.

[kiwiinkorea]

Yes. I have a male friend who works at a girls middle school.

[Draz]

There aren't enough female university teachers for them to hire all women. Maybe they would if they could, but they can't.

[PRagic]

Do you have at least an MA in a related dicipline? Additional certificates (CELTA/DELTA)? University experience in Korea or elsewhere?

Sure, the universities hire, but a lot of them are competitive. If they're on Dave's, ask people who work for Ewha.

[Captain Obvious]

Of course they will, especially if it's foreigners. Most experienced and very qualified foreign teachers here are men.

Let's see.

In my city, the all girl high school and all girl middle school are both taught by men. The all boys high school and all boys middle school are both taught by women. Interesting indeed.

[cpolian]

Yes.

[lifeinkorea]

Teaching at an all female university would make me crazy. I don't think I would be able to teach.

[D.D.]

I taught in an all girls middle school and they put a women hired the same day in the all boys middle school next door.

It's pretty random if you'll get placed in a girls' school. Although, I've heard of girls' schools specifically requesting a female teacher. But in the end it's all up to the local education office where to put a teacher.
