I have a BA, TEFL Cert, 8 years experience.

I just turned 40 but look like I'm 32-35, IMO.

Taught TOEFL, TOEIC, Teens, Adults, Childrens, and Super Tots.

Looking for a Hogwan job at about 25 hours per week.

I don't want all classes with kids.

Never taught in Korea before but I've been in East Asia for years, teaching.


When I contact recruiters what do I need to send?

I assume a photo.

Scan of degree

Scan of TEFL cert

Scan of previous letters from schools.

I want to work in Seoul.

I'll be back in the US to go to the Consulate interviews.


Thanks for any help. Any advice? I've been reading and searching this site a lot.

Thanks in Advance.

Most recruiter's sites will have all the info they require to start the process but usually they want you to fill out their application, a copy of your resume and your photo. Once they get a position for you, you will need several other documents for the visa process.

Thanks, 710.

I'd like to start in September or October.

For Hogwans, I assume (and hope) that is OK.

If you are going for a private school that shouldn't be a problem... I am far from an expert in all this though, I am trying to teach for the first time myself. I am using a recruiter now, but wish I went with another one I found after. You should check out Ask Not-ETO. Even if you don't use them, they offer tons of helpful information on their site...

Do you have time to change recruiters, 710?

I am going to use a couple to a few to get what I'm looking for, as suggested here on the forum. Thanks for the "ask Not-Eto" I'll check it out now.

The problem is, I'm trying for a public school position with GEPIK. If your application is submitted by more than one recruiter, it is rejected... With private schools, from what I have read, you should use as many recruiters as possible... Good luck!

Yes, I'm not doing SMOE, GEPIK, or EPIK (as my plan for now).

I'm trying Hagwons.

Good luck to you, too.
