Position Title: Teacher Trainer in South Korea

I have a good professional opportunity for him or her. The teacher training institute I work at had a person sign and back out before arriving here this month. There is a need here for someone to arrive and start working here by the end of the year (a new training session for elementary teachers starts on the 3rd of next month). If a graduate from UCF is willing to move fast and contact me, chances are good that he or she will get it.

It is preferable that the person have a good amount of knowledge and/or experience in the field of TESOL. It is possible to work here with less experience, but the person at least needs to be committed to the profession and to professional development. This is a great opportunity for someone to move into teacher training.

If you know someone that is looking to work overseas now, and you would like to recommend that person to me, please let them get in touch with me. Although I'm not normally involved in the hiring process, I was asked to look for candidates. I am willing to help make sure that someone good from UCF is hired here.
