It states:
1.Business class for a Korean CEO
2. 7~8am on Mon, Thursday, Friday
3.The white female who got married Korean man
I understand why they would want a female teacher, but why do they care who she's married to? If he wanted a F-6 visa, you'd think he would just say so.
And please, let's not go off on some crazy ass "Obviously the CEO wants a Western woman who's down with pleasing Korean men" sort of take on things. |

Perhaps he doesn't know about the different types of visa (looks like alphabet soup) but wants someone he can legally employ (hence "married to a Korean").

my guess...
hes a ceo so he holds himself in high regard.
A white (racist connotations) female who has married a korean man, would better understand her place in his perceived, korean system. ie subservient.
as to why, he maybe doesn't want to be challenged or questioned on his educational goals or learning methods or dislikes tardiness?
he may think an unbroken westerner may have their own ideas and be bad at timekeeping/ preparation and not share his ideals/ideas. |

It maybe simply a case that the student wants to be able to talk with his teachers husband to sort things such as location, payment etc in Korean.
Or maybe it's a request from the students wife (doubtful). |

This is what I thought at first, but the job was posted by a recuiter that I know posts a decent amount of jobs. They know about the different types of visas. |

I know an awful lot of white women married to Korean men, and 'subservient' does not exactly jump out as the best adjective for us...
However, we do know a lot about the culture, and have a lot of experience communicating with at least one Korean guy, so it's possible that the CEO just wants someone he can skip all the getting-to-know-about-you stuff, culture differences, etc, and just study the English he needs to know. Or maybe he's used to a tutor who fits that description and wants someone similar. People don't like change very often.
Also, people who fit this description have a few different visas. Some are still on F2's, most are F6's, some are F5's, and there are a handful of dual citizens. Probably the poster didn't want to go through the laundry list. |
