Hey All! So I am a 30 year old Caucasian with a bachelors in English and 1 year of experience teaching in Korea back in 2008-2009. My girlfriend is 23 years old, with a bachelors in social work and 4-5 years experience teaching daycare, she is also half black. We are considering coming to Korea at the end of summer, hopefully end of August. Now I know how hard it can be for darker skinned people to get hired in Korea but I also know it does happen. Just wondering if anyone has a recruiter they can suggest or any tips on couple positions since when I came last time I came with a buddy but we weren't worried about working at the same place. We would like to be in Seoul as does everyone, but we aren't too picky.
Thanks for any info! |

Apply together and include photos of her working/playing with kids (playground, mock classroom, etc).
Best chance of a couple position would probably be in a kindy but I wouldn't rule out a 3-9 hagwon.
Unless you are married public schools will be problematic for a "couple".
