I was just wondering if anyone has any good ones they can share?

I am going to be going on an extended vacation and the only stipulation from my school was that i find my own sub, but outside of Craigslist, I dont really have any place to look.

Thanks in advance!

Are you ready to pay the price! or is the school going to be paying! Besides most people who would take a substitute job will likely be illegal (if your school is demanding a whitey).

You might want to convince your school to just reorganize the students for a week or two. Or just have a Korean teacher do it.

Have you tried WorkNPlay website. I think they might have a list place.

Good Luck

they are paying for it, and they don't care about it being a white person, just someone who can pull off a first language accent and teach in English. They do not want someone with:

1. A thick second language accent
2. Someone who is going to try and use Korean in the lesson

When I mean pay. I mean someone who will ask for the basic private teaching wage of 30,000 and up per hour. Very few people will take it for your wage based on time taught.

I make 25 per teaching hour and that is what they are paying, I don't think, based on pay anyway, it should be too tough to get someone to agree to that if i can find someone with an open time table.

Edit: Just more details, I get 28.5 hours a week so that works out to 712.5 a week and i need a sub for two weeks straight. You think that wage will be a problem?

I know when they got a guy to cover a teacher for a week and a half at my school he was getting paid 35 an hour, FWIW. Bear in mind that your conditions are different pay-wise, as you're working for an apartment, health insurance, and severance, while this person will be working for your flat salary. You're really limited by the money combined with a very limited pool to choose from (legally).
