We urgently need to fill 2 vacancies for young ladies to work 6 month contracts as "Living English" Tutors in highly reputable Private homes in SOUTH KOREA

By John VanderWerff - 26th February 2003 - Back to News

JCR Australia Ltd

operates in conjunction with EurAuPair, Alliances Abroad (USA), Tutoring Korea, and others and has its
International head office located in South Africa and it's Australian Head office in Melbourne.

Our charter is to place Australian and New Zealand youth, aged between 18 and 27 into AuPair, Nanny, Tutoring, and Hospitality positions overseas under the auspices of the host country's "Cultural Exchange Programs". The company has recently appointed a Gippsland Agent to assist local youth find secure, exciting, and safe contract work in a wide variety of countries.

We urgently need to fill 2 vacancies for young ladies

to work 6 month contracts as "Living English" Tutors
in highly reputable Private homes in SOUTH KOREA

Applicants must be female, single, and have english as their "mother tongue" language .
They  must also be available to work in South Korea for a minimum of 6 months. As live-in tutors are

held in such high regard we require that only persons of good standing apply. You need no

formal teaching qualifications, just an excellent grasp of the English language,

a love of teaching or being with children and a willingness to become a part of another family for 6 months.

To share in all of their family activities and teach their children "Real Live English".

The children of many South Korean families spend most of their waking hours either at school or at

educational acadamies to prepare them for University enterance exams. They have very little

free or social time from the ages of 5 to 15 and the help a live in tutor provides in learning

"real" english as opposed to "curriclum" english, really helps them advance

and may allow them to forego one or more acadamy courses giving them some free time

that they would otherwise miss out on.

These are "live in" positions within well respected South Korean Families.
The Host families will pay the successful applicant's return airfare between
Melbourne or Sydney and Seoul South Korea.

The will also provide the Successful incumbents with

FREE Accommodation in their homes, and will pay half of the person's
Medical and travel Insurance for the time they are under contract.

Tutors in South Korea can expect to earn over AU$1,000 dollars per month 
whilst the cost of living (No accomodation, Power, Food costs etc) is about AU$40.00 per month.

Please Note:- JCR Australia is a Applications:and as such
we do charge successful applicants a "commitment fee".
The "Commitment fee" for placement in a Tutoring position in South Korea is AU$250.
Payment of this fee GUARANTEES the applicant a placement offer from a

reputable, highly placed South Korean familiy.

In fact no applicant is charged a fee until we are satisfied that we can offer them a placement.
and, as there are currently only 2 guaranteed vacancies at this time,

applicants are asked to contact us as soon as possible

if they are intrerested in filling one of these great roles.  

The AU$250. fee also provides the successful applicant with full personal

and contractual support both before taking up the contract position

AND for the full duration of your contract(s).

Additional Costs:

We pride ourselves on the fact that at JCR Australia we have No Hidden Costs at all. 
  In the case of Tutoring in South Korea the applicant will only need to

pay: the AU$250.00 commitment fee, AU$495.00 as their half share of the

Comprehensive Health Insurance and all Airport departure fees and taxes.

VISA:

South Korea provides 12 Month Work Holiday Visas to Australians Teaching or Tutoring

in their country. As a Tutor you will be alowed to work for a period of 6 months

(the contract period) with the remainder of the 12 month visa being used to travel the country.

The visa is provided by the host family on arrival in South Korea.
