FAQ

So here I am, 6:26am on Monday and can’t fall back asleep (training starts at 9am).

Here are a few frequently asked questions:

What made you want to go to S.Korea?
Aside from just being a kind of random person, I felt the need for some type of change, and also a challenge at the same time. It’s been almost 2 years since I graduated from college and I hadn’t had a degree-requiring job at all.

How did you come across the job?
I was browsing jobs on career builder. And saw a link from a company called Aclipse for teaching jobs overseas. I applied to it just for kicks, not really thinking “If they call me back I’m definitely going to do this”. But when they called, we had a phone interview and next thing you know they called me back saying it was a success. They had jobs in China, Japan, and S. Korea. I definitely didn’t want to go to China, so it was just a toss up between the two.

Are you nervous?
The only 2 things I was nervous about was the flight because I hate planes, and wondering how I will adjust to teaching, because I have no teaching experience at all. But as far as living here, I’m about to take the city over! Ay yo the city is mine (Which one?) A-N-S-A-N I go, A-J-I-Z-Z-L-E and you know how the story goes. That goes to a song by Drake called “City is Mine”. Check it if you haven’t already.

Don’t you need to know Korean to teach the kids?
No, I guess the children already have a basic understanding of English, we’re just there to sharpen their skills. They’re required to only speak English while in the classroom. It’s kind of like American kids, we already knew English but we still had English class.
