Trip Overview

Teaching English in South Korea is one of the most personally and financially rewarding experiences in the teach-abroad space. It all starts with Korean culture. There is a reason why the country’s culture and cuisine is becoming world famous. From K-Pop and K-Drama, to Kimchi and Korean barbeque, Korean cultural exports are rapidly spreading across the globe. As a teacher, with plenty of disposable income and free time, you will be able to immerse yourself in all of the cultural possibilities.

While Korean culture on its own would make anyone seriously consider the country as a teaching destination, what really puts it over the top are the salaries and benefits. Korea boasts excellent teacher salaries, free one-way flights over, free, private accommodation close to the school, and to top it all off, a 13th month salary paid out at the end of your 12 month contract!

You’ll be TEFL certified on an island next to Seoul, and then go on to teach English in public or private schools to young learners and secondary students. During the weekends and many holidays, you can use your savings to travel around the country, hop the 2 hours over to Japan, or visit Jeju island, a volcanic, subtropical island off the southern coast of South Korea.

Why TEFL Heaven?

Friends

Training
The FaST Method

We believe that every candidate needs three things to become a confident and connected teacher abroad. We call this the FaST Method, which stands for:Friends
and
Support
Training

Friends: A Community of Like-Minded People

Our supported teach-abroad programs have either 1 week or 4 weeks of group induction or training, meaning you get to know other people who are like-minded and are doing the same thing as you.

Many lifelong friends first started on one of our programs and the community we create is the thing we are most proud of about our programs.

Training: Cultural & Teacher Training

We provide in-depth cultural training for every supported teach-abroad program, meaning you can avoid cultural pitfalls and blend in like a local into the culture.

Whether or not you choose our TEFL training alongside your placement or not, we make sure you get continued teacher training to help you in your job – those who opt for the TEFL certification will get everything they need to teach well, and those that don’t will have top up lessons, resources, tips and tricks, and continuing teaching support.

Support: Moral, Financial and Placement Support

This is where we really stand out. Every program comes with a guaranteed paid teaching job, but we provide much more than that. It is important to us that you feel comfortable and happy teaching abroad and so we provide you with moral support by keeping in contact with you throughout your experience

We have also recently launched our Digital Marketing Mastery program (beta mode) which you receive free alongside your teach-abroad program. We train you to become a Digital Marketing Consultant and give you paid opportunities to promote teaching abroad.

You can also use these skills to promote anything you want! In a digital world, we want to encourage digital entrepreneurship and want to provide you with additional opportunities to increase your monthly income.

Real teachers, real stories

Get a glimpse of what it’s like being a TEFL Heaven teacher in Thailand. Louise shows you her apartment, commute to school and daily lunch meals! You’re even invited to a dance party with her kindergarten students!

It’s not always easy making the decision to move across the world to a new country. For Emilie, there was one major thing holding her back. Watch as she shares her story about why that decision was so difficult to make and how it ended up being the best decision of her life.

Move abroad, meet a ton of new people, experience really cool things and live life to the fullest. This is what life is all about.
