Pay and hours

Salary
₩2,500,000–₩3,200,000 / month
This is an employment contract, so Korea's 2026 statutory minimum wage of ₩10,320/hour (₩2,156,880/month on the official 209-hour basis) applies to it. See salary data across all live listings.
Per hour
≈ ₩14,400–₩18,400 per teaching hour
Effective pay per hour (base salary only — housing is listed separately and not counted) is how you compare jobs with different schedules. Rates are approximate: the salary as advertised, divided by the hours as advertised. Where the employer gave a ceiling ("up to 40 hours") rather than a typical week, the real rate is the higher one — ask what a normal week actually looks like.
Teaching hours
40 hours a week
Actual classroom hours. Full-time hagwon roles in Korea typically run 22–30 per week.
Time on site
Not stated
Hours you must be at the workplace, including prep and gaps between classes.
Split shift
Not stated
A morning-and-evening schedule with a long unpaid gap in the middle of the day. Unpaid gaps do not count as working time, so a split shift lengthens the day without raising the pay.
Weekend work
Yes — 격주 토요일 8시간
Whether Saturday or Sunday classes are part of the normal schedule.

Housing and benefits

Housing
Housing provided
Severance pay
Offered
Severance (퇴직금) and national pension / health insurance enrollment are legal requirements for full-time employees in Korea. “Not stated” only means the listing doesn’t mention it — ask before you sign. “Not offered” means the listing says no.
National pension

Health insurance
Offered
Flight / settlement support
Offered
Paid vacation
Statutory minimum
Korea's Labor Standards Act §60 (근로기준법) — 11 days in the first year (one per full month worked), 15 days from the second, rising by one every two years to 25. Workplaces with fewer than five employees are outside this rule (§11), so ask how many staff the school has. Separate from Korean public holidays.

Ask before you sign

  • How many hours will I be at the school in total, not just teaching?
