TEFL Seoul | TEFL South Korea

Seoul is a city with a long and interesting history. It is also a thoroughly modern and technologically advanced city. Ancient neighborhoods sit side-by-side with gleaming skyscrapers in a city that provides some of the fastest internet connections in the world.

Such a technologically advanced city is able to offer a high standard of living at a cost of living that is comparatively low to many other cities around the world. This is none of the reasons that Seoul is a popular destination for TEFL teachers from around the globe.

There is plenty to see and do in Seoul. If you are looking for home comforts then a visit to the international districts of Itaewon and Hannam would be a good idea. There are also numerous museums and parks around the city and festivals are held throughout the year.

The city is connected to every major city in South Korea by rail and many of these are linked by the KTX bullet train that travels at 300 km/h. Nowhere in South Korea is more than a few hours away from the country’s capital.

Seoul is a large city but is incredibly safe and not in the least bit intimidating. Koreans are keen for visitors to have positive image of their country and many utility companies hire English speaking staff to help you when moving into a new apartment to make your transition to Korea as smooth as possible.
