Some say yes. Some say no. Some say I can do private TUTORING but not TEACHING. Seems like the same thing to me. I was also told this from another site.
I was informed that it is legal to privately tutor English students in Korea with a F-2 marriage Visa, also that a 4yr degree is need for F-2 holder to teach English at a hagwon or school is needed. Please help! Is this information true?
In order to teach any private lesson legally in Korea...whether you are a foreigner or a Korean, you must apply for a Private Teachers Licence.
Why you ask?.... Just like in other countries, any income which is unreported and untaxed is illegal. Thus, even if you do not need a work visa because of your F class status, you do need to pay taxes on your income.
The only way to do this is to register as a private teacher with the ministry of education.
As for the institute jobs, you are correct in your assumption that you require a 4 year degree in any subject to legally teach English.
Thank you for your help. I would Of course pay taxes as I have all my working life in the US. I would assume this would be like a self employed filling in the US.
The next question is does a person need to have a 4 year degree to obtain a private English tutor /teaching license. Or would a TEFL or TESL certification be accepted.
Of course a four year degree....same requirements if you want to teach at any school in Korea.
Who knows? I guess I need a degree to help Koreans Learn to speak my native language, but only if I charge them money. |
Well the four year degree thing isn't entirely true. Standard Australian degrees, for example, are three years. |
