All applicants will get a free copy of the e-book as well as Madeline’s help in finalizing and polishing the resume. Creating Video Files

Successful interviewing is a learnable skill, and Madeline will help applicants navigate the unique cultural and professional complexities of interviewing with schools in Korea. Interview preparation includes an explanation of the priorities of employers as well as coaching, rehearsing, and evaluating answers to sample questions. Reviewing Contracts

Teacher Tech will also walk you through all phases of the visa process, including an explanation of and assistance in completing required visa documents. Training
All of Teacher Tech’s partner schools in Korea provide some form of training before teachers are required to be in the classroom. Often, a week of training is provided after applicants arrive in Korea and before they actually start teaching. Some participating schools also provide pre-training materials before departure. These materials will help to familiarize new teachers with teaching in Korea. On going support from previous or current teachers
Since 2001, Teacher Tech has placed more than a thousand teachers with private language schools in Korea. Recently, Teacher Tech created a three part network, so that former, current, and future teachers will be able to connect with and learn from their colleagues. First, you will find blogs and articles on our website from previous and current teachers. These are updated frequently, so check back often. Also, a network of teachers is accessible through our page. Finally, you can always reach out to Teacher Tech directly after you arrive in Korea.

These are "Thank you " cards that I recently received. They are so kind to send me hand written pretty cards. I received many emails too but these hand written cards are special.
Jonathan and Loida got married right before going to Korea and send me their "wedding thank you card". I am not posting their wedding photos here but they look so beautiful.
Even with Corvid-19, all of teachers who arrive in Feb. are having good time in Korea. Specially they all feel safer to be in Korea, you know why. ( If you don't know, Korea has best public health care system and currently handles Corvid-19 the best way possible. Lowest fatal rate and are having around 9-10 cases a day)
