Since the world is being rapidly globalized, English has become the major language people use internationally. Thus, English education in Korea has boomed in the past few years. Rather than providing English education by native Korean teachers, schools have started to increase the number of foreign EFL teachers.

TEFL positions are available both at public schools and private schools (known as Hagwon), institutions and centers. You can expect a competitive salary based on your experience and qualifications including TESOL/TEFL certificate. The cost of living in Korea is not high, therefore you can expect to save a partial portion of the salary.
