    Hi Courtney! Would it be possible to ask you to do a video on budgeting the monthly salary of an EPIK teacher? How much is expected to be spent on certain things.

    I got my Seoul placement! 🎉 I still have a couple questions: 1. Could I still potentially teach at more than 1 school? 2. If I teach at multiple schools, would it be a mix of high school/primary school, or for example if like my main school is a middle school I can only teach at other middle schools?

    • @courtneyschapter1146
      @courtneyschapter1146 23 дня назад

      Congratulations!! 🎊 I’m not an expert in knowing about the schools in Seoul but I would just keep it as a possibility in the back of your mind that you can be placed in more than one! If you do end up teaching at different schools then it is possible to be placed at an elementary and middle school or middle and high school, etc. I personally teach at 5 elementary schools though so I think they tend to place you in the same type of school, but this is just dependnt on the school needs in that area!!

    I’ve heard this before that at orientation it’s communal showers Is that like typical showers you see in American programs like schools and prisons where it’s one room with lots of shower heads or are there like separate stalls for privacy? In the UK communal showers means you still have privacy in stalls and you’re only seen naked if you don’t mind or want people to see you naked.

    • @courtneyschapter1146
      @courtneyschapter1146 2 месяца назад

      Hi! Great questions! You can definitely make your own slideshows that you can work on at home! When it comes to preferences regarding formatting, presentation style, and games that will look different for each school. I think it’s fantastic to be prepared but it’s worth keeping in mind that you won’t fully understand your role in the classroom (games only teacher, just textbook, both, etc.) until after you are assigned to your co-teacher! Going alongside that, how many schools and co-teachers you will be working with are also contributing factors to what they expect from you. So unfortunately, you won’t be able to know those details until placement! But it’s great to have any materials prepped and ready to go if you can!!

      It likely depends on the apt that you live in. For EPIK teachers, the furniture that's in your apartment was likely bought from the teacher before you, which you can switch out as you like. Some things might be provided by the landlord so you can always ask them if you are unsure.

    I have a question, slightly off-topic from the application process. For the slideshows shown in class, is it our choice whether we use Microsoft PowerPoint or canvas? Also does the school provide a flash drive to store those presentations or do we provide that ourselves? I want to start working on them now because I know what workbooks they have. Mostly I'm curious about the actual software we have to use which very few youtubers discuss. If I spend all summer brushing up on PowerPoint and that's not what they use at all I'm gonna be a sad panda. Thank you.

    If you applied while in the UK as a US citizen then did you not have to apostle your birth certificate? And also did you apply for your visa via the new KVAC in London? If so, how was that experience and how long did that take? And last question is your visa single or multi entry as online they only seem to do single now. You were very lucky if you only spent 45 dollars on your visa as it’s about €240 now. I’m unlucky as I have a South African birth certificate and UK citizenship but no papers for the UK as I didn’t need to get them when I moved but I need for them for the visa. Hopefully EPIK will be helpful and considerate in my case.

      Hi! Great questions! I did not have to do an apostled birth certificate because as a US citizen the background check was the only thing necessary for me! I also applied for my visa in the US on a trip back between the US and UK before leaving for Korea. And lastly, just the apostille was $45 and the Visa was unfortunately much more!
