Pay and hours

Salary
₩2,400,000–₩2,700,000 / 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
≈ ₩22,100–₩24,900 per teaching hour
≈ ₩12,300–₩13,800 per on-site 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
25 hours a week
Actual classroom hours. Full-time hagwon roles in Korea typically run 22–30 per week.
Time on site
45 hours a week
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
Not stated
Whether Saturday or Sunday classes are part of the normal schedule.

Contract
Employee · Full-time · length not stated

Housing and benefits

Housing
Not stated
Severance pay
Not stated
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
Not stated
Health insurance
Not stated
Flight / settlement support
Offered
Paid vacation
12 days
Contract vacation days, separate from Korean public holidays. For context, 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.

  • Is national pension enrolled and contributed to?
  • Is health insurance enrolled and contributed to?

Silence isn’t a denial: it may well be offered, but nobody has written it down. ?
