Jurist Law Teaching Jobs

TEFL is teaching English as a Foreign Language. There is a big market for native speakers of English to teach English in Korea.

Finding a TEFL Job

Before going to Korea, you might prefer the security of having already arranged a job through a jobs website. However be warned that there are many "fixers" who make promises of high salaries and great holiday benefits to prospective TEFL teachers in Korea, who receive a fee from the school where you are placed and then can abandon you when you need their help. If you do arrange a job before you visit Korea, try to make sure that you do it through a reputable agent or company.

Culture Shock in Korea

Once you arrive in Korea, you can suffer quite a culture shock. The larger cities tend to be crowded, polluted and distinctly lacking in green areas. Don't worry, you'll get used to it. Of course the food and language are very different to what you are used to and not many people speak English. In the smaller towns and villages don't be surprised if people stare or point at you, as they are not used to seeing Western folk in these places. Yes you are like a celebrity in the less populated parts of Korea. Like everything, after the initial feeling of disorientation, you will find your way around and grow used to Korean culture, enjoying their street markets and great public transport.
