I really like to be a teacher in korea. I find it interesting… the problem is im a graduate of computer engineering though I have experienced teaching them online for 1 year now…
wow! this is really nice. I hope this one gets approved by the Korean government. There are a whole lot of competitive Filipino English teachers.
if you are really interested to become teacher here in korea then try your luck………..as long as you love teaching and willing to adapt korean culture ok na yan.good luck…..

d ko po alam if ano ggawin ko kc po d tau pwede..any advice po bago dumating ung mga doc na ipinadala ds nov.
salamat po!
Hi Decoy,how did you apply on this school?Thanks!
This is really great news! However, I hope that they have a good screening process because there are still lots of ‘teachers’ (specifically online teachers) who fail to use the English language proficiently. I’m just bringing this up because we need to prove that we, Filipinos, are capable of speaking and teaching proper English.
Good luck
Kudos and thanks to you, Ms. Thesa, Ms. Wendy, and Mr. Chung, for all your wonderful eeforts to help out well-intending Pinoy entrants to So. Korea!
I would like to make this “pahabol” questions: If my real purpose to go to South Korea is to find a better teaching career, do I have to be “invited” by a prospect employer/or a Korean national? Can I go/Will I be granted a tourist visa, for example as a way of “detour”, foregoing any concrete job offers and proceed with my own itinerary of “job-hunting”?
Again, thanks a lot for giving value to my concerns.
Ate Ellen
Good day po.I’m happy to see this comment page for pinoys.I need help para po makapag apply ako sa school as English teacher kahit part time lang.I did only home tutorials for kids and office members din for adults here in korea.i had no certificates after kaya wla ako magamit mag apply sa schools.Di rin po ako Education grad. but I have my Diploma and Records Ass. in Computer Science.Nag tutor din po ako sa Philippines ng korean kids and a korean mommy.I just really love english and proud po ako sa English grades ko.I hope you can help me.Salamat po.
Hi Ria! Why not register as a private tutor? From what I know, as long as you’ve spent two years in college you could register as a tutor at the Education office.
Hi Ms Betchay! hello, nbasa ko kasi yung advice mo kay ms Ria about applying or registering at the Education Office, sorry tlga if I seems ignorante pero kelangan tlga magtanong eh hehehe, tanong ko lng sna saan b yung Education Office at pano mag apply? SALAMAT HA. God Bless.
hi Alma! depende kung saan ka nakatira… sa amin, ang Education office ay malapit sa Jongro5-ga station… dalhin mo lahat ng credentials mo, diploma, TOR, Alien ID
hi ms Betchay, salamat s reply ha it’s really a big help. God bless.
hi ria, i’m just curious..what type of visa do you currently hold which enables you to stay long in korea? or are you married to a korean? thank you
madam betchay, just wanna ask if anybody can just register as a private tutor regardless of the visa type they are holding? for instance if one has an F-3 (Dependent Family)visa, can they still apply for as long as they meet the 2-year college education requirement? any information on this is highly appreciated. thanks!
Wow! I hope that all of these opportunities for Filipino English teachers will be approved! God bless us all! ^_^…
