Teaching english in Cheongju

The placement and communication from Micheal were great and quick. Sometimes it's hard to make the decision to move to a different country and teach but it's really fun. I have made lots of friends, and some enemies too though. The process was quick too, but a little stressful. Settling in Korea is stressful as well since it's very different than the USA. Everything is way more secure so phone and bank plans take a long time to set up so you need to be patient. And always ask as many questions as possible.

The job is fun, I like my students and I get by with my little Korean. There are some community classes in some cities and lots of Facebook groups to meet new people. It's hard to make Korean friends unless you speak Korean. There also isn't that much vacation time and the hours are about the same as a full-time job in the USA.

I also recommend contacting some people who have left reviews and asking them for their opinion. And going for placement in a smaller city as well. It's so easy to travel in Korea and is so much fun to go see new places on the weekends. It's a very small country so it's very convenient to get around.
