Writing and debate teaching jobs in Korea

Writing and debate classes sit at the upper end of the children's academy market — essay, composition, critical reading and structured argument, usually for upper-elementary and middle-school students whose parents are investing in a specific outcome. Academies hiring for it tend to want a demonstrable writing background, and interviews sometimes include marking a sample.

The thing to look at closely is marking. Written work has to be read and corrected, and in many academies that happens outside the timetabled class — so how many pieces per week, and whether that time is inside your paid hours or after them, is the difference between a comfortable schedule and a heavy one. Ask it before you accept. Related: subjects taught in English and phonics.
