The ideal applicant:
The ideal applicant holds a degree in Education, English, Communications, or Linguistics. It is best if he/she has some teaching
experience, or at least experience working with young children. He/she is a blend of 3 main ingredients: love, discipline, and
intelligence. Korean children are a bit more fragile than their Western cousins, and a little love goes a long way. We used to describe
this quality as gentleness, but found that teachers can appear gentle without giving themselves to students, so we emphasize that
the teachers must really care for the students. Discipline is required not only to keep up our tight schedule, but also to keep your
students disciplined (while still remaining gentle!). There are so many reasons why intelligence is required, but we hope most are
obvious. He/she knows that this is a job and not a vacation, despite being far from home. Many people make EFL a career, and we
expect such dedication. Above all else, he/she must love being around children because that is what it’s all about. Additional
required qualities are self-motivation, inquisitiveness, punctuality, a desire for learning, and professionalism.
