I had good luck with Work N Play. They have placed several older teachers I know. (I got my job over 15 months ago but the recruiter I dealt with is no longer employed by them.) However, those placements are in Incheon. It seems to be relatively easy for older teachers (50+) to get public school jobs in Incheon and though some would find it hard to believe, there are a couple of decent areas in Incheon.

Any recruiter for public school jobs doesn't give a damn about your age. Most recruiters for hogwans do... why waste time? Ideally, you should be 23, female and blond - this is what Mom & Dad are paying for. Rolling Eyes

I was 61 and grey when I applied...I had recruiters calling me at all hours of the day and night, I mean ALL hours. And they all knew I was 61 before they called me.

Here in Andong there are several teachers in their 30s, (all guys) a male teacher who's 51, a couple in their 30s and a 64 year old (makes me feel young) woman teacher.

Andong is traditional, and age is an asset...

Take the previous posters advice. There are tons of young teachers in and around Seoul/Busan. However, don't let this discourage you.

Try public schools/universities.

Job Busan also is 'accomodating'.
