This may well be posted elsewhere but does anyone have any other English speaking (mother tongue) teachers in their school?

Big schools have several NETs. Small schools you'll be Pat Malone. Hagwons usually have half a dozen.

If yo ax'ing 'bout a native speaker qualified by ROK as a teacher to teach English (or other subjects): very rare.

I'm the only non-Korean teacher at my school, and there aren't many foreigners in my local area. Local English speakers tend to be Korean-American men, which is fine but we don't really gel on any level beyond us all being here and all able to speak English!

I think that this is a very common situation outside of big cities. You get used to it and it does give you a bit of local sleb status

It can get immensely boring though and I do crave a social life

Gangwondo is starting to put two teachers in every school, even country ones with one class per grade level.
