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

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.

Payment of this fee GUARANTEES the applicant a placement offer from a
