TOEFL teaching jobs in Korea

TOEFL iBT preparation in Korea is aimed mostly at students heading to universities in the United States, which makes the student body a mix of adults and school-age learners on an ambitious track. Hiring is at test-preparation academies and university language centres, and it has a strong seasonal shape: the intensive vacation programs in winter and summer are when hours multiply and short-term contracts appear.

The work is format-driven — integrated tasks, timed writing, recorded speaking — and employers ask about exactly that rather than general teaching. Because the test is computer-delivered and heavily templated, much of the value you add is in feedback on recorded and written work, which happens outside class time. Related: SAT, ACT and AP, which shares the US-bound student base, and IELTS.
