6~12 Months contract, 3 positions available from August in a beautiful Coaster city (1 Couple + 1 Single)
ECC Masan has Language Instructor positions available from August of 2008. We are looking for professional-minded people who want to learn the core values of EFL/ESL instruction in a safe, reliable and very rewarding environment.
ECC Masan opened in 1997, and is now recognized as the largest and most professional English school for children in the Masan district (population approx. 450,000). More than 70 foreign teachers have successfully completed rewarding contracts at the school over that period - half have ended up returning to Korea to take up more advanced positions and 16 have returned to ECC Masan itself to undertake follow-up contracts. In the bewildering world of English language teacher recruitment in Korea and its associated confusing array of contract details and benefits/drawbacks, those statistics are very important. The owners of this school know how to take care of their foreign teachers down to the smallest detail, and they are proud of the friendly relationships they still maintain with teachers who have finished contracts with them. Email addresses for such teachers are available upon request.
The Basics of the ECC Contract are:
- 2.2 million won for 100 hours teaching/month
- No split shifts
- Medical and Dental Insurance supplied
- 14 vacation days in addition to Korean national public holidays
- No share an accommodation
- Airfare supplied and paid up front before your departure
- Severance (1 month salary) pay for 12 months contract
The positions involve teaching children aged 5-17, with the bulk of the students being aged 9-13. At the moment, 7 foreign teachers are working at ECC Masan, so you can expect plenty of helpful support and advice from them. The owner speaks excellent English, and more importantly, has an excellent understanding of Western culture and thinking. He is always on hand to take you to the doctor or bank to send money home, or to adjust or fix anything you might need with respect to your accommodation. He will also help you to organize travel trips within Korea or to neighboring countries like Hong kong Japan, Thailand and China during your vacation periods.
Most importantly of all, ECC Masan is extremely proud of its history and track record in terms of seeing foreign teachers complete successful contracts and leave happily and confidently in their ability to teach English as a foreign language to Young Learners. It is a track record they are very keen to continue to develop and improve.
PS: I would like to recommend you – even if you don’t get a chance to work with us – to get more information from the foreign teachers that are currently involved in the jobs that you are looking for.
