Tutoring the kid next door doesn't cut it as teaching experience. |

Umm…sorry to disappoint you, but I never said anything about tutoring. I actually haven't tutored privately that much, though it be good experience to earn. I was teaching classes at Day, Montessori, and Preparatory schools. While the law does not require that you have a degree for those, it's strongly advised. I just got lucky with what were at first temp jobs. The kids and I worked well together, so our time was extended into contracts. |

Bachelors - 22
Masters - 25
I had to teach to pay for going to school. So I worked full time in elementary and then later university. |

okay. I didn't know if it was legal to teach in a public school or a state licensed school in the US at the age of 17. |

I don't know about public (you're probably right), but I taught at private schools - Preparatory and Montessori and then later at a university. |

Do haggie bosees, recruiters, and Korean immigration have such a track record as to warrant trust? Not really.
OP, you sound like you will do well here. Where is the job? Seoul?

| I'm not sure why people are razzing you, OP. Your concerns are legit, but I think you've likely crossed all the t's and dotted all of the i's on your paperwork. Also, your experience will make your job a lot easier than it was for those of us who hopped on the plane with no teaching experience in a classroom. It sounds like your school made a good hire and I wish you the best of luck and a great adventure. |
