1. A full resume (1–3 pages)
Include your mailing address, phone number, nationality, university, major, graduation year, and GPA (if applicable). List your entire work history in detail, showing key achievements and skills learned in each role. Be sure to highlight teaching, tutoring, and any experience working with children. Travel and extended stays abroad are also helpful, as they demonstrate your ability to adapt to living overseas.
If you have previously taught in Korea, please provide the exact employment dates, school name, and city. We will only contact your references with your permission.
2. One or more photos
Almost every applicant applies from overseas, so a face-to-face interview is impossible. Your photo plus a short phone or video interview is often the entire first impression a Korean employer gets. Look professional and friendly, and smile — you are going to teach young children and directors want to see a warm face. JPG, at least 50KB.
3. Supporting documents
- Passport photocopy
- Apostilled university diploma copy
- Apostilled nationwide criminal record check
- Written references (if applicable)
- 60-second intro video (required for South African applicants)
4. A 60-second intro video (Required for South African applicants)
Because South Africa is a multilingual country, school directors use this short video to evaluate speech clarity, pronunciation, and overall classroom presence. Use this opportunity to introduce yourself, express your passion for teaching in Korea, and showcase your natural, clear English delivery.
