Take your time and have a look at the wealth of information we have about teaching and living in South Korea. All Footprints ESL recruiters have been English teachers, many of whom taught and lived in Korea for several years. If you're accepted as a Footprints teacher, you will also receive a comprehensive Korean Orientation after you sign a contract.

We have over 40 teaching positions in private language schools in Korea EVERY MONTH. In these private language schools, also called Hagwons or Hakwons, you can teach all ages of students. We have some private language schools that are focussed on teaching kindergarten aged students and others that only teach adults. Most of these schools cater to elementary to high school aged students and some offer classes to all students K-adult (K being kindergarten). 

If you've got teaching experience or an Education degree, Footprints is the main recruiter for public school positions around Korea. Footprints alumni are able to get coveted public school teaching jobs in South Korea in year 2 ahead of the rest of the pack. Korean public school teaching jobs generally start in August and March each year but due to the incredible demand for teachers for public schools we are placing teachers EVERY month in these positions. These are great programs for teachers to add incredible international teaching experience to their portfolio.
