As many of you know, the demand for English language teachers in Korea is growing at an unprecedented rate. It is no longer simply the private schools that need teachers. In an effort to enhance its English programs, the Korean public school system needs foreign teachers too!

In response to this demand, the passionate people at Pegasus have created the Pegasus Program. And we are sure that it will soon become Korea’s premier resource for foreign teacher placement in public schools!

In a nutshell, the Pegasus Program will assist the Korean government with its vision while also offering new teachers support at every stage of the teaching abroad experience. This incredible program is different than any other because of the sense of community and group belonging it can provide for its teachers who will be collectively transitioning into work and life abroad. All Pegasus Program positions are in the same city and there will be numerous extra-curricular opportunities.

There has never been a better opportunity to become immersed in a new culture while earning money to pay off debts and travel!

The September program is accepting applications for positions in the thriving, scenic, coastal city of Ulsan.
