I am looking for my first english teaching job in korea.
I'm looking for places that have a morning to early evening schedule rather than an afternoon to late evening schedule.
I know of YBM, but are there any other private institutions that have earlier working hours?
specific names would be great.
thanks to anyone that can help

Private institutes? Doubtful. Kids don't even finish regular public school until after 3. And most private school classes don't start until after 4:00.

Unless you want to teach kindergarten...

Probably, but it would be teaching adults, not rug rats. You'd need to find someone with a corporate contract. Good luck.

Wall Street Institute did as late as last year. I am not sure if they still do.

I teach 1:30-6:30, MWF and 2:30-7:30, Tue/Thu at a hagwon. Elementary and middle school.

So I guess that answer is pretty much "Yes."

10 am to 6 pm, so yes they exist. But I teach kinder and elementary.

I know of a good kindy with plenty of former teachers who would vouch if you're interested.

this is exactly what i'm looking for..i've just begun the search and ideally i would like to finish before 5 p.m
i have no problem teaching kindy or ele, but are there many jobs available? i'm looking to get out in 4/5 weeks..

well honestly there aren't too many of these positions, and they go pretty quick....but i did see a few in the past two weeks or so. they come up and go, so keep your eyes open or you might miss one. check every day and if you have a recruiter that you are working with let the brother know what exactly u want, he'll sure help ya out. afterall, you getting what u want = him getting paid.
don't forget to look into afterschools...hours are great!
