<p>I'm interested in spending the summer after i graduate teaching in asia ( thailand, korea, china ) </p>
<p>does anybody know anything about this?</p>
<p>i hear they are paid pretty well? 20usd/hr?</p>
<p>My dd taught English Korea for few months. She loved it. The thing to watch out for is that there are a lot of "shady" English schools. That means that you won't exactly get everything they promised you when they get you over there.</p>
<p>I would suggest googling things like ESL and specific country names. Look for discussion boards that the teachers over there frequent and read for awhile. You'll pick up a lot that way.</p>
<p>When my dd was there last year, she was paid $2,000/month + free housing + free use of a vehicle + free cell phone.</p>
<p>If you're interested still interested in teaching about you graduate from college (i.e. hold a BA/BS, etc.) you might want to look into the JET program if you are interested in Japan. Very nice and reputable program.</p>
<p>If you can become a private tutor for English in Korea, my cousin (read: she HASN'T GRADUATED FROM YALE YET) made like $40-50/hr. With a Teacher's degree, you can make up to like $70-$100/hr (korean equivalent of course, if you teach english for like the TOEFL or the SAT). And then of course, private schools will bend over backwards to hire you. It's a VERY hot market over there.</p>
<p>how do i get a job there? can you teach for only the summer? 3 months? i speak no korean</p>
<p>I think you can apply for Kaplan in Korea (or Princeton Review or whatever) and get a job there....the SAT program's only like two months in the summer. By the way, the teachers at Kaplan Korea (most of them) spoke NO Korean whatsoever.</p>
<p>Don't you need certification for TOEFL to teach in American schools? I checked out some of the courses and it's ridiculously expensive. How about current undergrads? I have an AA and will graduate from UCLA next year...is it possible to find a quality/high paying teaching job in the summer?</p>
<p>bump,</p>
<p>any other programs you'd recommend?</p>
