About the School
This English academy in Gwangyang, Jeollanam-do teaches students from kindergarten age through elementary and middle school on a weekday afternoon schedule, and is hiring its first native English-speaking teacher. Because this is the school’s only native-teacher position, the role comes with real ownership: rather than being slotted into a single narrow track, you would teach English across the kindergarten, elementary and middle-school levels and help set the tone for how the native-taught classes run. The academy is in the Hwanggeum-dong area of Gwangyang, a mid-sized city in the Jeollanam-do region of southern Korea.
