Becaused of the economic situation in America, and the fact that I don't want to take a huge loss when exchanging money this March, I'm thinking of setting up a study room at my apartment and staying an extra year. How is this done though? Is it basically like a small hagwon in your house? Someone told me that he gets 2-3 students to study with his wife, while another 2-3 students study with him. After an hour, both groups switch. Is this normal? If anyone has done this before, please PM me so I can get more information. Thanks

No, I'm not interested in who teaches privates. When you teach privates, you usually meet someone at a coffee shop, or you teach them in their home.

I'm interested in setting up a study room at MY house, which I thought was legal on an F2.

There is a sticky about this. I suggest you look at my comments there.

I believe you can get a D-8 visa for only 50,000,000 won which is a sweet deal. As well, the 50,000,000 is just a deposit, so you get it back. I think it's a pain in the butt to get it all sorted out legally though, so start early.

I was in an officetel recently that had 2 study rooms in it. Actually the setup was really cool with table, chairs and whiteboards in 2 rooms. I think that's the type of situation you're referring to.

I'm sure that the extra revenue far exceeds the cost of renting an apartment big enough to accomodate that kind of working space.

I say good luck.

Interesting that you mention the economic mess. I'm just wandering if those that teach privates will start lowering their rates to try and get extra classes so as to make up for the short-fall we're all feeling at the moment.

Lower the rates so as to attract more students. Maybe you'd get a bigger uptake if you knocked your hourly rate charge down. Then again, if you're in a city, maybe student numbers aren't the problem. Down here in smallville however, potential privates are thin on the ground.

If you have your F2, then all you have to do to set up a study room is to go to your local 'GU' office and register. I think they'll want to make sure that you have a separate class room use room.

Mind you, I've never done it. I have a couple of friends who have, however, and they said it was very simple to set up. Just make sure you stay up with your taxes. Best thing to do would be to go to your local government offices and ask first hand. Good luck.

Yeah I have study room. I have a whole building devoted to my students studying. It's called the school. When I have to close that I send them to the other room I've always had set up... It's in their house.
