Hi,

I'm assuming you're still in Korea??? You probably won't finding private tutoring jobs on the web because they are illegal in Korea.

That being said, most folks I know who do privates get their first 1 or 2 from friends or from people stopping them on the street and asking them to teach their kids. I've always been a bit weary of the latter.

I would ask your friends and see if they have any extra they want to get rid of.

Once you have 1 or 2 the mothers usually tell their friends and you usually get more from the ones you already have. If they don't offer, just ask them if they know of any other tutoring opportunities. Chances are they know about 10 other mothers who want their children to have a private tutor.

Pretty soon you'll have more offers than you can take...

But remember it's illegal and you face a 5,000,000 Won fine and/or being deported.

Yes I'm still in Korea but I am married now so I have the F-2-1 Visa which gives me a lot of rights more than the E-2 Visa holders. Therefore I won't be deported

I have seen a few on the web, mostly worknplay but they are all through an agency and I don't want to go through one of thoses as the pay would be less and I dealing directly with the mother/family is better.

I know that it's illegal but a lot of people (Koreans and native speakers) do it and rarely anything is done about it. It's true that people who are not married to Koreans here can be deported but that isn't the case for F-2-1 Visa holders. Another reason to deal soley with the parents to keep it all hush
