OK this sounds like it's too good to be true but I had to look into it. Someone was telling me that after you have a year of experience of working in Korea behind you, you can work in Noksapyeong (right next to Itaewon) M-F from 1-5 teaching and get paid 2.2. 20 hours a week while keeping your full time salary. Apparently you teach 4 classes a day in a row without out any breaks where you sit around doing nothing like at most hagwons. Instead of the employer paying for your apartment you share a house with other foreigners. Does anyone know any more about this?

Sounds like an after-school program to me.

My colleague does a 130-530 (5 ,45 min classes) and gets 2.7. He is also on an E-2 and has permission to work a second job. However, he does say the kids are little monsters.

I work 1-4.30 (4 45 min classes) and get paid 3 (including housing).

They are just after-school programmes.

Just have to be in the right place at the right time or know someone

If you are in Korea without medical benefits you could setting yourself up for disaster.

You can get your own health insurance if you pay for it, and it'd be worth it if you're making decent cash for a few hours work in the afternoon.
