From the employer’s original advert
We are looking to add to our team of 25 native English teachers for our English Academy and Kindergarten at Sinsa Dong 649-1, starting in March 2027 or sooner.
Kindergarten Homeroom/Afterschool Teacher
Teachers are responsible for one kindergarten classroom of 5, 6, or 7 year olds from 9:00-3:00 each day with one hour lunch break. Planning time is available when the students are taking subject classes like gym, science, art, and music. From 3:00-4:45, we teach afterschool to kinder and elementary students. Then teachers have planning time, usually ending the day at 5:30.
