DESIGNED TO HELP STUDENTS EXCEL

—

Education is one of the primary objectives and foci in modern Korean society. Private academies offer commercial out-of-school education to help students develop and fine tune their English language skills.

Teachers looking to teach in well organized environments crafted for optimal learning and reception will be thrilled to work at private academies. Not only are academies located in some of the most popular areas around South Korea, but they also offer competitive pay and accommodations located in the heart of cities.

Korvia works hard to ensure the quality of contracts and facilities. We are partners with some of the biggest franchises and academies to ensure the best teaching experiences possible.

Why Teachers Prefer Academies

Teach Alongside Other Native Teachers

Work alongside other native English teachers at your academy! With most private academies hiring multiple foreign teachers, this gives you the opportunity to get help and learn from other expats!

Smaller Class Sizes: More Engaged Classrooms

Smaller class sizes are the key to increased engagement. Get real hands-on experience with Korean students by teaching smaller groups of students; usually 6-12 students per class!

A Working Schedule for Everyone

Private academies offer varying schedules and working hours. Not a morning person? Start teaching in the afternoon and finish in the late evening!

Teachers Say

Why Korvia teachers like working at private academies!

“Working at a private academy is great because every day is different. In the mornings I teach kindergarten and in the afternoon I teach primary and middle school students. The varying ages of my students keeps me on my toes and allows me to implement a variety of teaching techniques.”
Bryan, Korvia Academy Teacher
“Working at a private academy has allowed me to really make a connection with my students and cater to their specific needs. The small class sizes, my wonderful co-workers, and the later starting time have made my time working here nothing short of exceptional!”

Kelly, Korvia Academy Teacher
“I enjoy working at a private academy because we can tailor our lessons to the students’ needs since we do not have to follow the public school curriculum. I also enjoy the small class sizes, which lead to more personalized, comfortable interactions between me and my students.”
Michael, Korvia Academy Teacher
“I really enjoy working at my private academy because of the community it built around me as soon as I moved to Korea. There were many English speakers who helped me navigate living in a new country.”
