    You get paid …
    You get paid between $1,900 – 2,400+ but it depends on your education background (ie: are you a certified teacher, do you have a major in English, etc) and how long you teach in the same school, and where you work. (hagwon vs public school vs university) BUT, they pay for your rent and that’s where you save money. Renting in Korea is CRAZZZY expensive.

  17. Koreans are …
    Koreans are xenophobic against their own if that makes any sense. Foreigners are shown kindness, tolerance and acceptance. On the other hand, if you are Korean, it is quite the opposite. Nevertheless, if you are Korean do not speak Korean and if they ask you where you are from you are something else like Chinese. This is the best advice I can give you if you want to teach English in Korea. Koreans will take advantage of you by working you more hours and discriminate upon your very soul.
