I've seen 6 month contracts posted on Dave's before.

The onese I saw said the person had to pay their own ticket here and bad and also pay for their visa and no severance bonus.

I think these contracts are really for people already here in korea
They don't seem beneficial to others

Just take a year contract and leave after six month

yes some companies do, YBM ECC offers them, not very many companies do it though, you have to pay your way back though i think, check with an indiv. company would be your best bet. www.ybmecc.co.kr

I just got one but i got really lucky i think. i was able to go through the school directly. they're providing one way air fair which is all i was expecting...

P.M. me. I work for a company that will hire teachers for 6 months.
2 M won, one way airfare at the end of the contract. no severance pay.

I think 6 months is the ideal length of a hagwon contract here. After that, I find I start to run out of new ideas, games and activities, and the class settles into a rut, and gets restless. I don't mind year contracts but it'd be nice to change all your classes and schedule at the 6 month mark.
