Private School Teaching Jobs Throughout Seoul and Gyeonggi

The Gone2Korea coordinator that helped me out asked me to write a review and I'm happy to oblige! Gone2Korea helped me land a great job in Suwon, which is a big city on the outskirts of Seoul, and things are going incredibly well. I've only been teaching here for a short period, since September, but I'm already thinking about staying for a few years. My schools pretty big, so I hear, with 11 westerners and over 20 Korean teachers, and everyone is super nice. Our director is pretty cool as well, he takes us out for dinner and drinks at least once a month. We basically take over an entire restaurant when we go, it's hilarious! I can't say enough about the kids, they're so eager to speak in English and I have a blast teaching them. I teach kindergarten kids in the morning and elementary kids in the afternoons. The kindergartner's are fun to work with but I prefer my afternoon classes with the older students a little more because it's easier to communicate with them. My apartment seems pretty standard from what I've been told by other teachers, it's tiny but comfortable. Anyways, Gone2Korea definitely hooked me up with a great job, at a great school, in a great location. I highly recommend giving them a shot, you won't be disappointed.

I used Gone2Korea to find a my second teaching job in Korea. I used a recruiter for my previous job as well but I wasn't impressed with their service so I decided to give some other agencies a try this time. After getting in touch with a few recruiters I decided to stick with Gone2Korea because they seemed more professional and went out of their way to help me.

To offer some context, my situation was complicated. I was still under contract with my previous school in Incheon when I started looking for new positions in Seoul. I was planning on going home for a month to visit my family, before returning to Korea, and I wanted to avoid having to resubmit new documents to Korean Immigration. I knew it was possible (as long as I was doing it from within Korea) but I had no idea how to do it or what was involved. The first agency I contacted told me that my situation was 'tricky' and advised me to visit the Korean Immigration Office for proper instructions. Really? Isn't that the point of using a recruiter? Shortly after I spoke with someone at Gone2Korea who actually took the time to explain things, they even got in touch with Immigration on my behalf!

Gone2Korea absolutely made things easier for me and I'm glad I found them. They presented me with multiple jobs to consider and they made everything really clear along the way. I'm very happy at my new school in Gwanak-gu, the children are adorable!

Gone2Korea helped me land a wonderful teaching job with a school in Seodaemun, Seoul. I applied to a number of different agencies but Gone2Korea was the most responsive and the information they offered seemed more in-depth. My coordinator, Lina, was excellent and I can't fault her on anything. She was incredibly friendly and constantly checked in to make sure things were moving along from my end.

I got a little discouraged after the first school I interviewed with declined my application but Lina assured me it was normal because schools in Seoul are typically interviewing numerous candidates. I was more prepared for the second interview and received an offer shortly afterwards. Everything seemed perfect including the age groups, salary and location so I decided to accept. From this point on Lina literally held my hand, metaphorically speaking, until I arrived in Seoul. We were in contact with each other 3-4 times a week for 3 months straight, she definitely made things easy for me.

I highly recommend using Gone2Korea to anyone who's thinking about teaching in Seoul, you won't be disappointed. I will definitely be recommending them to my friends in the coming months.
