Why Teach With Us?
We’re more than just an English academy. We’re a supportive, creative learning community where teachers and children grow together.
• A Proven, Established Method: Our academy follows a well-tested early English education program built on music, play, and positive reinforcement. Children learn English the way they learn their first language: naturally, joyfully, and without pressure.
• Ready-to-Use Curriculum & Materials: Spend your time teaching, not planning from scratch. We provide structured lesson plans, songs, games, and teaching resources for every level.
• Training & Professional Support: New teachers receive proper training and continuous guidance. Whether it’s your first teaching job or your tenth, you’ll never feel left on your own.
• Small Classes, Real Connections: With small-group classes, you can give each child personal attention, see their progress, and build lasting relationships with students and parents.
• Happy, Motivated Students: Our lessons are full of songs, stories, and laughter. Children look forward to coming to class, and that makes teaching more rewarding every day.
• A Friendly, Collaborative Team: You’ll work alongside Korean and foreign teachers who share ideas, help each other, and celebrate each other’s successes.
• Great Work-Life Balance: A consistent weekday schedule leaves you time to explore Korea, travel, and enjoy life in Songdo.
LIFE IN SONGDO:
Songdo International City is one of Korea’s most modern and internationally minded communities. It’s a planned city with wide, clean streets, green spaces, and a relaxed pace of life, and it’s popular with expats and international families.
• Green & Beautiful: Take a walk or bike ride around Central Park, with its seawater canal, or the waterfront trails after work.
• A Truly International Community: Songdo is home to international schools, global university campuses, and international organizations, so you’ll find a welcoming, multicultural atmosphere.
• Everything You Need Nearby: Cafés, international restaurants, shopping centers, supermarkets, and cinemas are all within easy reach, many of them along Canal Walk and Triple Street.
• Easy to Get Around: The subway, buses, and bike-friendly roads make daily life simple. Seoul is about an hour away, and Incheon International Airport is close, which is great for weekend trips and holidays back home.
• Safe & Comfortable: Clean, modern, and family-friendly, Songdo is a great place to settle in, whether it’s your first time in Korea or your tenth.

The entire placement process typically takes 1-3 months from the time you apply to the time you begin teaching.
