Winter jobs 1 Month ago  
Hi Footprints, I am interested in teaching abroad in South Korea or China, but only during Fall through Spring (through May)- as I want to be here in the states in the summer. Are there jobs in South Korea or China that will allow me to do this? Will these shorter term jobs still cover airfare and housing? Any suggestions or ideas.
Thanks, Jesse

Hello Jesse,

Thanks for your interest in Footprints. Unfortunately we do not have any opportunities where the contracts are shorter than 1 year. In all the countries in which we represent opportunities a standard teaching visa is issued for one year.

In instances where people are contracted for shorter periods the employers generally do not go to the trouble or expense of getting a visa issued. In doing so they run the risk of their teacher, you, being deported and you face the risk of being fined, not paid AND being kicked out of the country.

Opportunities do exist to teach short term contracts but please be very careful when considering this option. Also, if you do decide to pursue this, be sure to get traveler’s insurance and let them know that you will be working as well (cover is more expensive but well worth it ~ just in case). If the school tells you that medical coverage will be arranged for you be sure to get extra coverage for yourself just in case – we have heard some horror stories.

Teacher Reviews

Shawna Walsh “Well all I can say is it is like nothing you could ever imagine. I am half way through my year and I could never have imagined all that I would learn and experience. Teaching is great, the kids are sweet (most of the time). Korea has lots to see and do. If you like shopping, climbing or eating this is the place for you! Having gotten on the plane and spent half a year here so far I feel like I can do anything. So what are you waiting for? Get on the plane already!”
