Probably not legal. First of all, they'd have to pay taxes on that. Money under the table is not legal. Seondly, they're not teaching the language in accredited institution, recognized by the government as an institution allowed to do so.
These are guesses though.
Not the same country, but when I went to IT school, at least one teacher didn't have a degree. I don't know if this was legal or not. Might not have been, but it was a private institution.
Not sure. |

Legal or illegal, there's nothing you can do about it.
Thats like me trying to get my neighbor arrested for child labor because I saw teenage his son mowing the grass for $10.
A Korean Teacher teaching outside of school? Instead of getting arrested, they'd give this person a medal for going above and beyond. |

Okay, well I think it's going on. They are using the old foreign teachers apartment as an office.
I just find it a bit hypocritical that if foreigners do it it's such a crime, ㅛㄷok for natives. |

If they are a teacher at a public school then technically it's illegal. |

Yes. That's because if they would have the "inside scoop". |

| I have seen this done before as well. I even worked at one for a few months back in 2004. He was a public school teacher, he had a study room. I would teach English to his students. |

| Yes, it is illegal for Korean public school teachers to teach private lessons, but as far as I know almost all of them do it to some degree. |

Actually its not hypocritical at all...they are citizens here and therefore can do whatever job they want. They can offer private tutoring like you could back where you come from.
All they have to do is report the income (perhaps they do..you really have no way of knowing).
We (Westerners) on the other hand are Foreign Workers on Work Visas with certain restrictions....
Two completely different situations. |

I was told by a reputable Korean public school teacher that holding another job and working at another place was illegal for public school teachers (or at least not allowed). However, making money on the side is ok. Some teach, some translate books and some make art to sell. I have no idea about the technicalities and tax issues, but in this country where things aren't enforced, I wouldn't worry about it. |

It's ok for an F-series foreigner as long as they report it to the gov't. |
