HI Leila, There are only 7 countries that South Korea will grant teaching visas to. They are: Canada, the US, the UK, Ireland, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. If you are not a citizen of one of these countries, there unfortunately is no chance for you to get a teaching visa for Korea.

Hi Colette, For the most part, teachers are on their own. This may seem daunting, but teachers are trained during the training period once they arrive at the school, so they are fully knowledgeable as to what they need to accomplish in the classroom.
