Hey Smile ,
I'm not in Korea yet, but am thinking about going. I have decided that I would like to take the GRE, and maybe an online course of some sort over the course of the year. My question to you is if I was teaching over there, would I have the time and energy to do things like prepare for the GRE sufficiently or take a writing course online? Or would it be better if I just prepped for and took the GRE before going?

Hello, Raiden!

You will have about as much free time as you would working any other full-time job. If you are efficient and diligent, you can squeeze in 3 or 4 hours every week day. That's about how much time I manage to study Koren.

I am currently taking two online courses from home. It's not tooooooo bad. A little busy at the moment, but it's all about budgeting your time....which I haven't learned to do yet...

Essentially it depends on your job. I am away from home 8 hours a day. That includes travel time to and from the school. Smile
