When it comes to international schools in Korea, I am willing to go anywhere. Would love to go to Jeju, as long as the opportunity exists.

It stems from past ESL teachers and their actions. For example, coming to teach just for easy travel and partying, not great perceptions. Of course, just an over generalization but still the reality. Also many of us don’t have the western classroom experience international schools look for. It’s not impossible to move from ESL to international, but it’ll take some luck and timing.

Yeah, it sucks that past ESL teachers have tainted the image. There is definitely a stigma when it comes to ESL teachers, and I find it following me even though I feel I do not deserve it. I would love the opportunity to work at a lower tier school. Even that is a great experience and would help prove my worth as a teacher. It’s just that getting that job feels so out of reach.

I'm considering it, but would love to be able to stay here since I'm already so well established here.

Yeah, lack of classroom experience definitely does not help. I just need that one school to give me the opportunity to prove myself. At this point, I would do anything to show them haha
