English Teacher Position – (July and August Start)

Hello!

As we enter our 9th year, we are seeking a teacher with prior teaching experience in Korea who enjoys working with elementary students and can thoughtfully adapt their teaching across multiple levels.

Our Teaching Philosophy
Our school philosophy is “Happy, Simple, English.” We aim to foster a safe, calm, and academically supportive environment where students feel comfortable taking risks, making mistakes, and gradually building confidence in English.

Our classrooms are active, social, and language-rich.

We believe English is learned through meaningful use and interaction — not silent observation — while also recognizing the importance of focused moments for literacy and writing development.

Lessons naturally alternate between interactive speaking activities and calmer periods of reading or writing.

Teachers support students in navigating these shifts smoothly, creating a classroom atmosphere that feels structured, relaxed, and supportive rather than rigid or silent.

We value teachers who can maintain lesson structure through clarity, consistency, and positive relationships rather than through strict discipline or control-based management.

About the Program
Students attend classes five days a week, with class sizes capped between six and eight students.

*The position requires comfort in teaching across a range of ages and levels, ranging from grade one to middle school*
The ideal candidate can adjust pacing, language output, and expectations appropriately across levels while remaining aligned with our curriculum.
