Qualification - South Korea

A TESOL/TEFL qualification is essential to gain employment in South Korea.

Schools value teachers that have recently qualified or are currently studying towards their TESOL certificate, and experience has taught us that the best jobs go to the best qualified teachers.

Although it is possible to obtain work in South Korea without any formal TESOL qualification, as a native English teacher you will be expected to know how to be a confident teacher. On the job training is extremely rare, and there will be no one to hold your hand.
