Teaching in South Korea

[artyom]

Hi, I've just graduated from University and have just completed my CertTESOL. I'm planning on going to South Korea soon to teach English. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has/is teaching in South Korea for any advice/tips etc.

Check your school craefully. Korea has more than its fair share of bad stories, though there are also many teacher who love it.
There's a list of bad schools here: http://www.usingenglish.com/cgi-bin/...mp.cgi?ID=4853

OK thanks for that, I'll definitely check the list before signing the contract. I am looking into finding a school through Flying Cows Consulting - Teaching English in South Korea...Without the Bull!. I've seen good reviews about them but no first hand reports. Has anyone used flying-cows to go to South Korea?

I haven't, but they have a good reputation and run checks first. Have you asked here? Korean Job Discussion Forums :: Index

OK, sorry not to be able to help more, but I haven't been nearer than Japan.
