Honestly, you probably won't get a corporate gig anyways. So don't worry about it.

Hagwons: Kindy in the mornings, early afternoons. Elementary and Middle School in the afternoons and evenings. High school late at night (you won't be teaching them). Adults in the early morning, over lunch hour, and in the evening.

Public schools: morning to afternoon.

You might be able to get a company class through your school or uni. I've had one almost every term I've worked here. The pay is great, the classes can be fun to 'smash my head against the wall' boring.

It'll take you a while to make connections to get these babies though.

A large corporate language academy could refer to the corporation training programs, like Samsung or Hyundai, or to the large corporate (franchised) hogwans, like YBM or CDI. You should clarify to which you are referring if you want some specific answers.
