South Korea
A hugely popular teach abroad destination, Teaching English in South Korea has some serious draw cards. If you’re looking to teach English in South Korea, expect good pay, free accommodation, flights to the country reimbursed, paid leave and much more.
You’ll be living in a highly modernized country with high speed rail links, yet the cities and countryside throughout are peppered with relics from the old world – picturesque shrines, temples, castles and palaces offering many a weekend escape.
Not only that but South Korea is highly connected to the rest of Asia (and the world) with regular direct flights to exciting countries like Japan, China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand and tons more. Adventure awaits, let’s take you there!
