Teach English Online to Korean Students

K-Drama, K-Pop, and K-Learning: Top 4 Companies to Teach Korean Students

Here are the top 4 companies you can work for to teach English online to Korean students.

#1 Engliphone

First, I suggest looking into Engliphone. They offer a decent amount per hour to teach Korean students. You can also teach audio-only classes through them. Even better, they pay more than most other online ESL companies. Engliphone pays $17 per hour for phone classes and $20 for video classes.

Teacher Requirements

• A high-speed internet connection
• Requires Windows (Mac is not compatible)
• one year of teaching experience
• no degree required
• no certification required
• North American or Canadian accent

#2 Skybel

• Ask directly for the most recent requirements; their email is admin@skybel.co.kr, and their Skype is live:skybels.

Also, I suggest looking into Cambly. I have taught many Korean students on Cambly. One of my favorite students on Cambly lived in South Korea. We still share some Pokemon Go gifts back and forth, which is fun. I like seeing the South Korean hotspots through the little digital postcards.

To get Korean students on Cambly you need to tweak your settings and profile. The platform caters to students worldwide, but you can set the hours to peak Korean time. Next, cater your profile to Korean students. For example, consider adding some Korean characters in your profile bio. Also, clearly state your interest in Korean culture.

Lastly, I made a highly comprehensive comparison chart of all the major ESL companies. You can use it to search for companies that only focus on Korean students.

No matter which company you choose, I hope you enjoy the Hallyu wave and your lovely Korean students!
