Office Hours: Description of Teaching Job - School Overview
This school has existed since 2002. Due to their proven teaching philosophy and the incredible progress of their students, they have grown year after year to their current size of about 1,300 students, 30 foreign teachers, and 40 support staff. They have been winners at the Korea Times Best Brand Awards, the Korea Education Industry Awards and the Korea Foreign Language Education Awards.
They specialize in returnee and very advanced non-returnee students. Their returnee students are those who have studied overseas for at least two years in an English-based school and who have acquired an excellent command of the English language, often times speaking as fluently as native speakers. Their non-returnee students have achieved a very high level of English ability while studying in Korea. They have tested at a level which proves they can function in an overseas English-based classroom at their level. Each year this school graduates many students into some of the top ranked foreign language middle schools and high schools in Korea, a goal of many of our students.
To help these high level students achieve these goals, this school uses only North American textbooks in their classes, and they strive to run their school not as a typical “hagwon”, but as a school that you would find in North America. They also employ only the most qualified and dedicated teachers who can present the material in the most beneficial way. Currently 50% of their staff are trained, certified teachers, and 20% hold their Master’s Degree.
Due to the amount of growth that they have been experiencing they need to expand their teaching staff yet again. They are looking for dedicated teachers who are professional teachers or are considering it as a career. They are looking for highly organized individuals who understand that teaching is hard work and can meet the rigorous demands that this job places on teachers.
They offer their teachers an escape from the typical “hagwon” teaching experience with their North American curriculum, highly organized and structured system, and extremely professional working environment. With their professional development program, you can also expect to grow as a teacher during your time with them. As another bonus, teachers are provided with complimentary lunches and dinners (Korean food) each day. One more fine aspect to working here: their orientation program.
When teachers are hired and arrive, they are walked through a week of orientation which includes a comprehensive training manual that is covered in the first week. During that week, the Academic Director will provide a welcome packet which includes detailed maps of the area, a rental cell phone for the week, a subway card, and a gift of 200,000 won to help get settled. The director will also take teachers out for a few dinners to teach them how to order food; they will take them to the grocery store to show them how to get groceries and let them know what everything is; and, they will teach them how to use the subway. The director believes if the teachers are not comfortable with where they will be living for the next year, they will not be able to concentrate on training or teaching. This is why this holistic approach is taken to orientation.
