When teaching overseas, once you have your alien residence card or foreign residence card you are able to send money home to pay off your student loans. Teaching in a country like Korea will provide you with the opportunity to send a pretty good chunk of change home each month.

We have had some questions from American teachers asking if they can ask for a remission on their loans or at least a partial quashing - this may only be possible if you're working with an opportunity like the Peace Corps or Teach for America. Teaching abroad is typically not an opportunity that would qualify you for exemption, remission or quashing but write a letter and try - you never know. It has worked for some Footprints teachers and they've seen up to $3000.00 quashed.

Danielle Bowes “Footprints was the first company that I applied with and it will probably be the last, Footprints will be my first choice as a recruiter anywhere I want to teach. They helped me get exactly where I want to be and they always keep in touch wanting to know how you are doing and that makes you feel 100% safe. Mountain hiking here is amazing, the sights are beautiful, on the way up there are many temples to see, or if you prefer to only hike half way up, stop by the waterfall and have yourself a nice Korean meal; there are restaurants everywhere in this country. This is an experience of a life time, and I only hope that there are many other people that will be as lucky as me, and get a chance to experience this wonder of a country. I hope that if you are looking to work overseas that Footprints is your choice for a recruiter...trust me on that, they will get you were you want to go.”
