Continued from Do you really want to teach English in Korea? (Part I: Q & A)
If you ask most people why they were drawn to Korea, the very first answer you’d commonly hear is– the benefits. Korea has by far, the best package out there- public and private school alike. Along the way, you discover the experience itself is so much more, but before I get into that, here you go~
Incentive Package for teaching in a Korean public school:
• Round trip airfare to South Korea
• Free apartment housing
• Signing bonus
• Paid vacations
• 50% medical insurance
Should you work in a public or private school?
Whether you’re with a government run program or independent one, there is no guarantee that your situation will be perfect and not meet with disappointment on some level. Both public and private employment have led to hit or miss situations for many- anywhere from bad apartment situations, problems with getting paid, bad co-teachers, etc… The forums are littered with unhappy results and while you’d like to think it’s just a bunch of disgruntled folk, the numbers ten to be so outstanding that you know there’s a level to truth.
