Native Teacher for Full Time

Pay and hours

Salary

₩2,800,000–₩3,000,000 / 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

≈ ₩21,500–₩23,000 per teaching hour
≈ ₩21,500–₩23,000 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

30 hours a week

Actual classroom hours. Full-time hagwon roles in Korea typically run 22–30 per week.

Time on site

30 hours a week

Hours you must be at the workplace, including prep and gaps between classes.

Split shift

No

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

No

Whether Saturday or Sunday classes are part of the normal schedule.

Payday

The 10th of each month

The date pay lands each month, as the employer states it. Ask for it in the contract, and what happens when it falls on a weekend.

Contract

Employee · Full-time · length not stated

An employment contract (근로계약) carries the four national insurances (4대보험), severance pay (퇴직금) and the statutory minimum wage, whether it is full-time or part-time. A standard first contract in Korea is 12 months.

Start date

2026-11-17

Visa

E-2, F-series visa

E-2 sponsorship

Offered

Whether the employer will sponsor a new E-2, not only accept a teacher who already holds one.

Housing and benefits

Housing

Housing allowance, ₩300,000 / month

Housing deposit

Paid by the school

Key money (보증금) is the lump sum a Korean lease asks for up front. Who pays it decides how much cash you need on arrival.

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

Offered

Health insurance

Offered

Flight / settlement support

Not 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.

Paid sick days

None paid

Korean labour law does not require paid sick leave at a private workplace, so this is the employer's own policy, separate from vacation. Ask whether a doctor's note is needed.
