The challenges of keeping young learner’s entertained while enriching their minds with educationally relevant material can be difficult. However, when all else fails, Simon Says don’t give up. In his second year, this English teacher has developed a good enough reputation to garner severeal requests for “home schooling,” which can cross Korea’s lines of legality despite being very common and very lucrative.

“here’s my credentials – my uncle…”
so no, not your credentials at all
what have you achieved in your life to make you so arrogant?
nothing I’m guessing which is why you troll the internet like a repressed little bitch starting trouble
why don’t you try spreading love instead of hate? It’s far more fulfilling I assure you

You also happen to be a racist, and someone who does not even know that all the teachers have college educations.
And many have TEFL certifications, however any intelligent person can teach kids a language without having a degree.

What is really pathetic is you taking your time to insult foreigners in your country who are educating your children so they can be global citizens.
That is what is truly pathetic.

I’ve been to north america countless times. And i know half way decent educated white person wouldn’t come here to take such a crappy job. Obviously 45.000 of english speaking north american males couldn’t afford to pay APT’s, insulances (i doubt waltmart pays more than 6 dollars, let alone health benefits). I don’t know why these foreigners keep denying the truth. There are western educated koreans all over living in korea, and they can see right through how phony, pathetic you people are. LOL

I know, and most of you don’t even have teaching credentials. You actually have to go to college, get a teaching degree and pass the state exam back home. And you wonder why you’re being laughed at by locals. IT support? So you were a sales person at bestbuy? That is so typical! No wonder why you’re here. So which is it? You couldn’t get laid back home becuase you just couldn’t compete with black dicks, or you’re a poor, under educated pointdexter who resent white women?

he has a canadian accent…
they get free apartments, free flight over there, work at a fun job with kids, medical insurance, and a very interesting experience
i think you are just jealous because you are scared to travel abroad or something

Here is my credential – my uncle owns a english school somewhere in east asia. The guy on this clip, you can hear slight accent. This guy isn’t even an english speaker. Whoever hired this person must have been on drugs. LOL i feel sorry for these foreigners … they make little money, usually get used and abused by school owners. And god knows why so many of them are here.

lol, i would like to see your credentials on making empirical claims about a group of individuals
however your observation is still quite funny, though wholly innacurate

Slowave is offering a valuable resource to future teachers by giving us a glimpse of what it’s like to teach English to Korean children. How in the world does your comment have anything to do with this video?
People like you should learn to shut up. You aren’t impressing ANYONE with your uncalled-for and irrelevant criticism.

LOL cute kids
May 25th, 2010 at 12:28
did you get a job through an agency?
May 25th, 2010 at 12:34
I might be going to do this in Korea soon, I just don’t know right now if it’ll be twelve 17 year olds or eight 8 year olds yet. I’d much rather it were the latter!
May 25th, 2010 at 12:41
how does this apply to the video? i have to agree, there are those people doing the job, but they are not the majority (though certain males like to enforce this cliche stereotype).

How to be an imposter english “teacher” in korea/japan/taiwan/china
You must have criminal background back home
You’re pushing 40, ex waltmart workers, only had minimum wage jobs (wash cars for a buck)
You’re 36 yr old virgin who never been on a date with woman of your own race (usually caucasian)
You only have high school education
Resent white woman for not giving you a chance
Spends 10 hours a day on dave’s ESL cafe explain why asian woman are “better” than white woman

Um you definitely don’t need to be a college graduate. There are a lot of positions for non-grads.
But yeah, many esl jobs do require you to have a real degree. I’d always suggest waiting till after college, but there are a lot of places who hire you regardless.
May 25th, 2010 at 14:47
Um you definitely need to be a college graduate.
Dont know what your talking about, unless you want to be living in a basement while your there.

My husband (who is Korean) and I are in process of setting up tutoring in our apartment here in Gimhae. It seems that collecting student is not easy. We are desperately looking for any advice in this matter, since we have already invested some money into this. What kind of English program should we be looking into? Is there anything special that the parents are looking for? What’s a good way to collect student? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You don’t need anything to teach esl in korea. Just rock up and they give you a job when you get to the airport.
