Oh my gosh!! You are everything i aspire to be!! Im gifted in reading and im learning korean at age 12. I hope to become a english teacher in Seoul. My parents dont think i can because of the racism in foriegn places for black people, but I really want to. You have given me so much hope and i wish you well!!
This message was the sweetest thing! There honestly is racism everywhere, it's not something you can run from or allow to hinder your plans. Keep doing what you're doing, study hard and you'll get there love! Wishing you all the best!!
I bought my car from another foreign teacher who was selling through a FB group! As a canadian, I really just had to trade in my own licence, fill out a bunch of paperwork and get an eye check. Driving in my town specifically is like a video game because people don't usually follow rules so it helps to be a defensive driver, haha. I appreciate your support soo much and I'll keep the videos coming for ya!!
I recently reenrolled in college. I’m excited to be working towards my bachelors degree again. After I get my degree I was thinking about teaching in South Korea. This video was really helpful. Thanks for uploading.
I know this video was one year ago but what major did you take so that you could teach? You have inspired me to keep trying and to know that’s it’s possible to do your job.
This is so beautiful to hear, thank you for your kind words! I took Journalism as an undergrad, but it really doesn't matter what you take as long as you have a degree!
I am currently a college student going for my bachelors degree in interior design. I’ve always wanted to be a English teacher in another country and seeing your video did make me tear up a little bit. I have a few questions though: 1: After you have your bachelors degree, does the school need you to do additional schooling to know korean? I don’t know know korean, how hard is it to move around without knowing korean. 2: do you have a co-teacher to help you? Or someone that can help you translate thing when talking to other teachers or the principal? 3: how is there education system are they strict on test score like they are over here in the U.S. or actually teaching the students? 4: are you happy? Does it get boring at times? How hard is when you see your students leave your class to go on to middle school? I think my biggest problem would be feeling alone because I moved to another country and not being around friends and family, how do you cope with it?
1: Additional schooling to learn Korean is not necessary. As long as you learn some basic phrases and download a translation app, you should be just fine! Making Korean native friends is helpful as well! 2: My co-teachers did help me a lot and the principals and other teachers already knew enough English to communicate with me, luckily! 3: The education system strives to actually teach the students from my experience, I wasn't required to do much testing for my students as their Korean teachers would usually handle grading. 4: I was extremely happy while teaching in Korea, it would get boring occasionally but I always found ways to occupy my time. I was very sad to see my favourite students go to middle school 'cause I had such a great relationship with them. I was lucky enough to make amaaaazing friends so I hardly ever felt lonely, you'd be surprised how independent you become on your own and how many people you'll meet! I hope this helps!
Hi I have a question !!!! I want to teach high school. My USA major is Secondary Social Science Education major (it allows to teach grades 6-12th) - Is there a chance I could teach high school in Korea? Or just it just elementary English teaching?
Yes there is a chance! You can let your placement/recruiter know that you are looking to teach older students and you may be placed with middle/high school aged kids.
This was so nice! It’s great to see you getting around the city and teaching, it’s cute that you have to change shoes lol. Do you ever bring your own lunch?
Thank you! It was difficult to make this video without showing my kids' faces cause that's the best part of my day haha. I have brought my own lunch a few times but eating Korean lunches with the students is where I learn so much about the culture through the food.
i’ve been wanting to a doctor for a while and then i’ve seen videos of how hard it is and how hard u need to study and i thought about another job.. and i thought about an english teacher teaching in korea. i’m bilingual and i feel like it would be a better job than a doctor for me... do you recommend this type of job?
I absolutely reccommend teaching abroad! My advice would be to do your research and make sure it's a place you would like to go! But you can always go into teaching for a while and return to be a doctor if you choose to!
Thank you for uploading this video! I am currently finishing up my degree in education to become an English teacher in Korea. Any tips on the best schools to apply? And also, was it hard to get the job? Any specific requirements?
Thank you for watching!! I would suggest applying to public schools as opposed to hagwons. It wasn't difficult per se but all depends on your experience and personality! I believe the most important requirement is a bachelor's degree! Best of luck☺️
I love your videos and I also like to teach English in Korea . but I have some questions. 1. Is that asians can teach English In South Korea? 2. If that Asians can teach English in South Korea what are the qualifications they want ?
Yes Asians can teach English in SK as long as their English is good. Check out the EPIK requirements here: www.epik.go.kr/contents.do?contentsNo=48&menuNo=275
do you get to decorate your own classroom, im curious because i want to be an english teacher too and i want to know if you have your own classroom, and if you can decorate it. =D
I was able to decorate my classroom for the most part. I chose which artwork to put up and had lots of fun during holiday seasons such as Halloween and Christmas (: It's all dependent upon your school and their preferences
Hi Kayla, your passion and enthusiam is unmatched and I am highly motivated by this video. I have been offered an opportunity as an English Mentor to high school kids (mainly conversational English). I want to know if you have ever taught English to high school kids and your experience throughout the process.
I think it depends on the school! But classes usually end around 3pm and we host after school activities until about 4:10 then the teachers have some time to wrap up for the day!
@@KaylaAlexandria thanks for responding. cute video. im really researching if teaching in Korea is right for me I graduate soon. compliments to how you present yourself to the kids too. im on the fence, were you allowed to choose the age group?
It’s auntie. I’m so proud of you sweetie, love you take care,, it’s coming up as your cuz name
Thank you auntie! The support means so much, love you too!
Girl, YOU DRIVE HERE?! You BRAVE brave. I could never lol

How did you get a car? Is the process to get a car/licence hard? And how do you find driving in Korea? Thanks love your videos❤️

what degree did you get in college? I was thinking about if I should get a bachelors in education or English
Either would work! It really doesn't matter what you get your degree in to teach here, as long as you have one! (:
Please make more of these videos! It's very informative!
Ahh thank you, I'm no longer in Korea but I'll try to put together more videos about my experience :)
How did you find a english teaching job in korea? Please share some job hunting source.
I came in through EPIK www.epik.go.kr/index.do
Hello. I love your personality. Are you in a public or Hagwon school?
I was at a public school :)
Omg you are sooo pretty 🥺♥️
Ahh, thank you so much!

Hi! No I haven't taught high school but I would've loved to! I reallyy enjoy working with the little ones though, haha.
Do the school give you this textbook or did you seek it out ?
I got the textbooks I used from my schools and used other resources like indischool.com for additional info, games and activities. (:
School is out at 4:40 in Korea?!? Omg lol
I think it depends on the school! But classes usually end around 3pm and we host after school activities until about 4:10 then the teachers have some time to wrap up for the day!
@@KaylaAlexandria thanks for responding. cute video. im really researching if teaching in Korea is right for me I graduate soon. compliments to how you present yourself to the kids too. im on the fence, were you allowed to choose the age group?
@@Pollo.a.la.crema. Thank you so much! I didn't get to choose the age group, I think you can let them know your preference but there's no guarantee!
Oh my gosh you’re like gleaming here ✨✨
Thank you so much, the sun was beaming beautifully!🌞🌞
