Sunbridge works closely with an agency in Soeul to place teachers who are interested in working in South Korea.  There are so many schools in Korea seeking foreign teachers that this agency alone needs UP TO 30 TEACHERS PER MONTH.

Applicants must have a bachelor's degree but that can be in any discipline, and a TESOL/TESL/TEFL Certificate.  If you do not have your TESOL Certificate, taking the Sunbridge course can complete your credentials.  Age is a factor.  Korean schools are reluctant to employ foreign teachers over the age of 40.
Some other countries are not so reluctant. Contact us!

If you are interested in teaching in Korea, here is what to do:

Step 1: Tell us of your interest and send us an up to date resume (Curriculum Vitae). You can email this to us at <[email protected]>

Step 2: Send us copies of your diplomas and a recent photograph. Ideally, if you can scan these into a computer, they can be sent electronically to us.  If not, you can fax a copy of your resume, diplomas and covering letter to our toll-free number (in the USA and CANADA) 1-800-282-6299.

Step 3: We will forward your documents to Korea.  Assuming the documents are in order, we will likely be able to present an offer to you.  If you accept the offer, you will have to take your documents along with the offer to a Korean consulate.  They will make certified copies of your documents, which you must bring with you to Korea.  You will also have to apply for a visa at the consulate.

Step 4: Once you have your visa and certified document copies, get plenty of passport-sized photographs (24 is a good number to take and the negative if you can). You will either be sent an airline ticket or will be asked to book a flight and will be reimbursed when you arrive and take up your teaching duties. (Sometimes schools delay reimbursement several months to ensure that the recipient is indeed fulfiling their obligation as a teacher. This is just a cautionary measure resulting from the occasional 'foreign devil' who accepts a free ticket, has a free holiday in Korea and is never seen again). Bonefide teachers have nothing to fear. The reimbursement will be forthcoming.
