Kindergarten Homeroom Teacher
SIE.K, part of the Shepherd International Education group, has two academies located in exciting Seoul, South Korea. Across our two locations, we are proud to sponsor twenty English-speaking staff from around the world, and we are looking forward to adding more enthusiastic educators to our growing teams. SIE.K is currently accepting applications for positions opening in January and March.
The SIE.K program follows an American-styled Early Childhood Education curriculum with an additional focus on English immersion. At SIE.K, homeroom teaching partners are primarily responsible for supervising their young learners throughout the school day and ensuring a happy and safe learning environment. English-speaking teachers are also responsible for leading our English-based subjects centered around English language skills development.
Successful applicants will join a friendly team passionate about helping young learners flourish in an English immersion setting. Applicants should expect to work a full-time job in a professional education setting. However, work expectations are reasonable with no overtime required—we hope all of our teachers will enjoy a balance of work and life while enjoying time spent in the beautiful and culturally rich country of South Korea.
