Oh the humanity! Make it stop!
I'll pay you 1,000KRW/hr to NOT teach these poor English-thirsty Koreans the English language... |

| What is your first language? If you could teach Mandarin for example, but also point out that you have passable, if not fluent, English too, then people may be interested. |

| Don't teach English. Teach Chinese - more people are interested in Chinese nowadays. You can perhaps get around 20-25K an hour doing that? |

You will find someone to tutor if you look hard enough, but I really think that it would be better to be a native speaker, or else teach really lower levels. There were a few mistakes even in the short posts you've written here, so it's likely a more advanced student will take you to task on that.
Posting on this board? They'll eat you alive  |

| Well, do you speak much Korean? If you happen to be from Vietnam then explore options for teaching Vietnamese. Good luck with it. |

haha seriously, how many threads do you need? People have already told you in the other thread that if you are not from an English speaking country such as USA, Canada, etc then you cannot teach English legally.
Off course you can always find some private teaching jobs. However, I think it would be a hard sell. NO OFFENSE..but you know Koreans...since you're Asian they will doubt that you are qualified to teach English. Also judging from your posts, I feel that you are not qualified to teach English. I'm not trying to come off rude or mean, but I'm Asian-American and there are many, many Koreans that have doubted me. When they hear me speaking English, they are quiet amazed. Granted, I'm in a very rural area so I guess that's expected.
If you still have your heart set on teaching English in Korea, then go and actively search for private lessons. However, you should be aware of the consequences of teaching illegally. You will face serious charges such as deportation. Good luck. |

You're right, but its not that easy to find 'clients' And you have to have a visa to begin with. I am guessing you speak and can teach mandarin and you're legally able to work here. But my wife, who is also Asian and can speak mandarin fluently, looked into teaching Mandarin at Chinese hakwons when she first got here. They would get her an E2, but the pay was pathetic for a full time job; like 700,000 per month.
Thank God she was born in Australia, eh? |

thread locked because:
a) multiple posts of a similar nature by the OP.
b) OP seeks advice on breaking the law - working as an English teacher illegally in Korea.
To the OP,
It is illegal for people who are NOT either:
a) Korean,
b) Of Korea ancestory
c) Married to a Korean
d) or from one of the 7 approved English speaking countries AND who qualify for an E1, E2 or E7 visa
to teach English in Korea. |
