| Most hogwans, unless they do business English classes, won't want you to wear a suit and tie, as they're not really looking for a real teacher. At many, T-shirts and jeans are perfectly fine. |

I worked as a 가정방문 (home tutor) and my boss always made me wear a uniform shirt, tie, and the fanciest pants he could buy. I'm sure kids loved it.
Now I wear a fat-guy shirt and trashed shoes. Oh yeah, and pants. |

As I indicated, every hogwan is different, but at most of the children's hogwans, casual wear is just fine. Some even prefer their teachers to dress casually. A few of the more elite ones may require trousers and button-up or polo shirts, but if that's the case such clothing can be found readily and cheaply in Korea. |

| Think about it. Do you really want to show your hairy legs off to Korean students? Apologies if you're a girl. |

After I stopped caring at my old hogwan job I wore shorts every day. I don't think the boss liked it but that was part of the reason why I (and another FT there) did it. Now I don't even wear shorts when I'm walking around my small town.
I was recently at a high school teachers volleyball tournament where there were about 100 teachers participating. Despite it being fairly warm only one out of the hundred was wearing shorts. He was a Kiwi. |
