I just have a question on what your directors may think of hiring an woman with a 2 year old. My director is more than willing to help a woman who has a 2 year old to come to our school to teach and try to help her with getting a visa for the kid and setting up daycare. I wanted to know if you know of many schools that are willing to do so for a single female teacher.

My school would help a qualified teacher who happened to be a single mother. No problem.

Most smaller hakwans will do whatever it takes to get you here. Single moms tend to be less likely to run because they have to deal with the little one as well.

In addition, if/when your little one is ready for hakwan, it is a great selling tool for them to promote themselves as having a foreign student (extra bonus if the student is a native speaker).

Do you have your MA? Go right for a university position. More time off, and most have day care facilities on or near campus, especially the bigger schools.
