Good working-hours kindergarten

About the School
A specialized kindergarten English program in Gangnam-gu, Seoul for young children ages 5 to 7, founded and led by a specialist in child development and counseling who places real emphasis on how teachers connect and communicate with young learners. The atmosphere is deliberately relaxed and low-pressure: teachers are trusted with genuine autonomy to design and lead their own lessons, supported by a large in-house library of teaching materials they are free to use, adapt, or add to. Hands-on science lessons with kits are built into the schedule for the older (age 7) class every two weeks. Because this is a subject-teacher role (a Korean English coordinator handles homework and parent communication), the native teacher can focus purely on teaching. You would join an established team of native English-speaking instructors, two of whom have been with the school for more than seven years.
