Hi, everyone!

My name is Grace. I am half Korean, half Spanish, I speak English, Spanish and French. I wonder, do you know if one requires certification to be a language teacher in Korea?

Thank you!!

As far as I know, your resume can be posted on Job search sites such as Jobkorea or LinkedIn or contacted directly by an English school. In my case, I got Tesol Certification to be prepared for my retirement in Korea, though it was not necessary.

@Julien

I am Korean American; U.S citizen. I relocated to Korea 5 years ago after 35 years of living in the U.S. I was born in Korea. I was able to get an F-4 visa at Korean Amberssy which is for Korean descent and prepared many documents w/ Public Notary. When I arrived in Korea, I applied for my residence status which took about 1 month. As soon as arrived at Incheon Airport, I got a Korean phone sim card and went to my parents' house because I needed a Korean address. After achieving a Korean Residence card, I opened a conditional bank account and bought a car.

A few months later, I bought an apartment in Suburban. In many cases, you are required to notarized documents such as name change & confirmation of criminal record, address & driver License in the U.S. If any further questions, contact me to my email:*** Thank You

안녕하세요 여러분!

I‘m Nea, a writer, meditation teacher & life coach from Germany and lived in Korea for some months during a Working Holiday in 22-23 & am preparing for moving back, this time „fully/really“. I have a background in Marketing & Business Administration as well as other skills such as content creation (especially podcasting, blogging), and have certifications in coaching & yoga (did my YTT in India). I speak German, Korean, Japanese & English.

I already posted my CV on LinkedIn, JobKorea, Saramin etc. Looking forward to connect with like-minded individuals & to network ~
