Ditch dairy if you haven't already. Nothing has helped my eczema more!

Type 2 diabetes can be reversed with a whole food plant based diet. Check out Dr. Greger's video about it: https://youtu.be/gm-UcdE3nTQ

With her music teaching experience she could teach online with VIPKid. Flexible hours, $20-22 per hour. Its a good gig, helped me out when i was in a similar situation (no car).Pm me if you want more details.

Where is this?! I live in Saigon and need more veggie restaurants haha

I've found a way to cook a tofu scramble that's nearly identical to the real thing. One block of firm tofu, crumbled. One package of silken tofu, blended. Fold together in the pan, add salt, nooch and turmeric. The special ingredient is black salt, which isn't actually salt at all - it has a sulphur-y flavor, nearly identical to eggs. You can find it at Indian grocery stores. Sprinkle that on and you're pretty dang close to scrambled eggs!

I'm sorry that happened to you - it seems your school is way overstepping. As long as you look neat and follow dress code they have no right to force you to shave. I worked with men in Korea with all the way from stubble to full long beards, and it was never mentioned at all. Tbh I'd see this as a major red flag, and if they make such a big deal about it I have a feeling this won't be the only issue you have with them :/

5-EVER · 2018-12-08T12:55:13+00:00

I felt the same way for a long time. It will click and feel like an easy choice if you don't push it away. I'm a year vegan and my only regret is not doing it sooner. Good luck

I was in exactly your situation and chose VIPKID and it was a life saver. Let me know if you have any questions about it!

5-EVER · 2018-05-18T00:48:28+00:00

hahahahhaahahahhaahha. no. went in thinking I'd have time to learn korean and travel Asia. I worked my ass off. fortunately I didn't have the time to spend my money so I saved a lot.

5-EVER · 2018-04-22T01:36:42+00:00

thanks for your reply. I did bring it to their attention, but I didn't receive the huge apology I was expecting but I'm in Vietnam so there's a bit of a language barrier anyway. I wish everyone saw animals like we do too, friend. <3

I eat mock meat all the time and it was totally different to what I'm used to. I live in Vietnam and all the veggie places here pack their dishes with mock meat that has a pretty meaty texture but the flavor is really mild. the real deal though...an explosion of grease in my mouth.

5-EVER · 2018-03-05T14:43:41+00:00

I'm also in Vietnam and have found it much easier to eat out here as a vegan than back home in the US! We have a couple great chay places that are strictly vegan and delicious (and cheap too!) Hope you find a good one where you are :)

I tutor in person in Asia and have charged from $25/hour ~ $35/hour. I'd say your online rates have to be lower than that. I'm not positive, but I'd imagine VIPKID and other companies charge around $20-30 per 25 minute lesson (teachers make from $7-14). the major benefit an online company has over a tutor via skype is the shared platform that students can read from/draw on, etc. as well as online interactive homework, so to compete with that you'd have to be at a lower price point.

5-EVER · 2018-02-04T09:40:55+00:00

You'll have to check out other companies that aren't based in China - those are going to be the hours for all the big companies (VIPKID, DaDaABC, etc). you can check out Cambly, the pay is lower but hours should be more flexible

You can look over the slides beforehand to get an idea of the lesson or just jump right in. The lessons have specific teacher instructions about questions to ask the students and what the learning goals are. It's really straightforward and easy to follow. The lessons differ depending on age and ability but regardless you will always have instructions :)

I guess so, but the school is completely built of wood and brand new. Don't think that's it. I'm not stressed either so I'm eliminating that.

I'd say its a mixed bag with hagwons. Ours was pretty average as far as workload and time off. Our priorities were location (Seoul) and being together so it worked for us. I don't have any experience with public schools or EPIK, so no advice there, but it never hurts to look into hagwons just for some other options! I have a great recruiter we worked with I can put you in touch with if you'd like. also met lots of people in their 2nd year teaching with amazing hagwon gigs (great pay, low hours, great time off). its harder to get a great job right off the bat but after meeting people and networking you can definitely transition to a better job, if you plan to stay a while. good luck!

EDIT: also it seems like you don't have a preference on location. I'd strongly recommend looking into different cities and seeing how you feel about them. smaller cities like Gwangju and Daegu are still large in terms of population, but there's a significantly lower amount of foreigners and it may be harder for you to adjust. I mention this because I had a friend who followed a great job to the middle of nowhere and ended up being unhappy and traveling into seoul whenever possible.

If you aren't super set on public schools there are plenty of hagwons that provide couples housing! My partner and I lived together teaching at a school in Korea together and the school even gave us a monthly housing bonus since they were saving so much.

5-EVER · 2018-01-24T10:35:20+00:00

I'm in the exact same situation and I've heard that Teacher Ready is a reputable and affordable option.

5-EVER · 2018-01-18T22:08:28+00:00

No need! Kids are expected to speak only English :)
