Camp Humphreys Army Wife looking for an ESL teaching position?

Question

My husband has just arrived at camp Humphreys, and I am considering applying for command sponsorship, but we do not want to make the commitment to an extended tour unless I am able to get a job there. I have a B.A. degree and I am interested in Teaching English. Any army wives out there teaching english near Camp Humphreys?

Answer 1

I once taught ESL in Pyongtaek, at two separate Language Institutes.  I assume they are still there and ran by the same Head Masters (Won Jang Nim).  Check the following two schools:

HanaRim Hagwan

Jung Ang Hagwan

Jung Ang Hagwan is located on a major city bus stop and is on the second floor over top a car center, about half way into the city and I think just before you get to the Big Circle traffic area.

HanaRim Hagwan is a little trickier to find, but best to get off the bus at the Big Circle.  You should ask a Local National working on Camp Humphreys if they know the specific locations of these two schools.  

Good Luck.

Answer 2

I don't know what all is close to Camp Humphreys, but I do know that South Koreans are VERY eager to learn English. I have been teaching English in Korea for the last 7 months and it is very easy to get students. They also pay very well. (I'm talking about tutoring). If you can get a Korean to help you advertise on a Korean website that would be very helpful when it comes to finding a job.

Hope it helps.

PS Korea is a very nice country to live in for Americans.
