Hey,

so I was thinking about spending a short term teaching somewhere in asia. I've been looking around at the teach english in korea programs and things.

But the problem is, I'm still a student, I was kind of looking for a 4month opportunity.

I'm not in education but I do like teaching (quite possible in the future I may go into that).

Do you people know of any opportunities to work there as i guess a student, since I don't have my degree yet?

Thanks for your input!!

In Korea, most of the English teaching jobs there are year long contracts. because employers have to pay a lot of fees and do lots of work, just bring you over to Korea.

Of course you can illegally work there by doing private jobs for the 4 months, but it will be difficult since you don't know anyone and if you do, chances are you will get ripped off.

There are plenty of private English jobs in Korea, but you will need help finding them at first.

But yeah, going there was the best decision of my life. So many stories.

you need your TEFL (which costs a grand to take) or a degree, any degree.
