      Kelsia Cadet I applied late for Fall intake but I was getting my documents together after my interview. However, I didn’t apply through Talk. I soled through a recruiter, Canadian Connections. I also used a FBI Channeler.

    I saw that you don't have to have an edu degree but are there any preferred degrees? And you mentioned mock lesson plans. Can I ask what yours looked like or what they are looking for? Also, is speaking Korean a requirement or have you just picked it up along the way? Thank you for sharing your experience!

    Admire your courage! You've been out there for a long time! Are you still in South Korea? If so, how long do you plan to stay there? I'm currently teaching in Thailand and though I am loving my experiences so far, I don't think I can do this for longer than 1 year (partially due to the humidity). I have also been working on building my blog and you have inspired me to consider vlogging as well! Keep it up girl! :)

  • @itschristinestyles
    @itschristinestyles 6 лет назад +11

    I relate to the teaching part because I am a full time on line tutor for Koreans as well. I teach all sorts of kids, teens, and adults, and I think it's such an experience. It's quite a challenging job especially of you're teaching kids or beginners. But most of them are so appreciative and thoughtful that it's kinda worth the stress. I actually miss my students because I'm currently sick and haven't been to work in a week. Watching this video just made me appreciate my job a lot more, and it was very nice to hear your experiences. 😊

    • @sisilessthan3
      @sisilessthan3  6 лет назад +3

      Kana D. The best part is how shy they are when they first meet a new teacher than they gradually become more comfortable and confident with trying to speak English! It's the best feeling haha I love these kids. They already talk about wanting to travel abroad and study English more 🤗🤗

    • @itschristinestyles
      @itschristinestyles 6 лет назад

      Sisilessthan3 Exactly! It's so fulfilling to watch them improve and be more confindent in speaking English. Especially when they're young! It's nice to see them actually become excited to learn.

    • @cloudwalker7134

      Kana D. I didn't know one could become an online English tutor for Koreans. Can you tell me a bit more? Are the Korean people living in Korea? Is it done thru Skype or something like that? etc.

    • @itschristinestyles
      @itschristinestyles 6 лет назад

      cloudwalker 713 Yes, most of my students live in Korea~ I say most because there are some that live abroad because of business, work, or maybe the migrated. Our company has its own program where we have our classes. Its like paint plus skype in one basically 😅 Some classes can be done through Skype as well, or via phone if the student wants.

    • @cloudwalker7134
      @cloudwalker7134 6 лет назад

      Kana D. Thanks for that. So can anyone try to apply to become an online English tutor for Koreans, like what you're doing? What are some of the the requirements to get the job? Also, are the English lessons mostly done thru online video conferencing? Or mostly thru Skype or phone?
