- Hey Darlings!
I decided to record this video just to answer a few questions I’ve previously been asked : Is teaching in Korea for me? what is ESL? What do I do at work? How do I plan? open classes and what it’s like working with co-teachers.
Please don’t forget to subscribe to my channel: youtube.com/@q... and connect with me on Instagram too : ...

THIS is the video I needed before coming to Korea! What a well rounded and informative video. Thank you B teacher❤
It’s a pleasure Babe!!! This is exactly what I also needed to see before arriving ey. Started off hard in the beginning, but it’s super easy now.
Skin glowing, information flowing, I'm here for it all!
Baby!!! Thank you so much KT ❤️
I was a teacher back home.. when i got here i was so shocked bathong😂😂 but now am used to it. Infact, i loooove it so much❤💃.
I’m so glad you love it and have gotten used to their way of Teaching. I’m not a Teacher by profession, so I found it super simple really, very easy once you get used to it.
Thank you for pointing that out!! As a teacher at home coming here has been a bit challenging simply because you don’t teach. You can’t deliver the lesson as you would like because of communication barriers. So yes you are right. I wish more people spoke about that. Not all but some qualified teachers may struggle a bit simply because you love teaching but you can’t teach as you would like.This experience has been amazing but that ‘rush man if this were my class, I could do so much more.’ But yha hey😂 my first semester that ct gave me depression. Was so toxic. I love your honesty.
It’s a pleasure Babe! I had to make this video because I figured people don’t speak much about what we actually do here, especially about CT’s too. I wish I could also do more in my classes, but I can’t, I feel that these kids need more but…I guess I use camp time to do what I want because I’m usually in charge of it and my CT allows me to be as creative as I want, problem is that not enough kids pitch 😅 I hope you have a new CT 👀 I wouldn’t be able to work with someone that made me feel uncomfy in any way
Thank you Queen_Be this is one of the most effective ESL video.❤
It’s a pleasure my love!! I am trying to cover as much as I can about working here and what it’s really like minus all the fun things we do on weekends.
Thanks for the in depth lesson planning 😊 you definitely read my mind
Yay!!! Thank you my Princess ❤️ It greets super easy once you’re used to it
this video was informative in so many ways
thank you so much❤
I’m glad it was! I want to give as much as I can to my people ❤️
@@queen_be and that you do❤
Thank you, B teacher I loved this video so much. Very informative
Thank You Tlhalefo ❤️ , I’m actually glad you watched, was super nervous as it’s so long 🥹
I love that advice: involving people in your decision-making can really break you. Just use their input to mitigate the risk, but this must be after you have concluded your decision
Yep! I learnt the hard way. I don’t take ppl on decision making journeys anymore. I decide then let you know, probably even before whatever happens 😅 like my journey here, I kept it hush till a few weeks I needed to fly.
This video was so informative and also hyped me up massively! I am 31 and aiming to be in Korea with EPIK for the Spring 2025 intake. I just started my TEFL course and was feeling a bit intimidated by the content. This video was EXACTLY what I needed to see. Thank you B Teacher!
Love from Ireland 💚🤍🧡
Hey Bex! So happy to hear that you’re already hyped up for the year ahead 🎉 Good luck with your TEFL, you’ll learn lot from it & get to use some things in the classroom.
The lesson plans we do are honestly easy & straightforward, you just need to add some creativity & you’re good to go.
Thank you for sending love all the way from one of my fave European countries 🇮🇪 I love Ireland, I left a place of my heart in Dublin & Galway 🥹😍 Do touch base next year when you do apply, and stop by for any questions you may have 😁
@queen_be Thank you for your kind response! And your love for Ireland. I am also a big fan of Galway. Lived there for 2 years. It was great!
Hoping to get the ball rolling on my application very soon, but realistically, spring 2025 makes the most sense. Gives me time to prepare and save up before I go. I shall definitely come back if I have any more questions! Thanks again for this video 💗
Well done, well said!! From all the English teachers I saw in TH-cam you are the best realistic one. Age is no the limit is only different time to start adventures and new life style. I realized at 50 all my life in the end I always do society or family standards. No any more😊 One way ticket tu South Korea is only a notification no a consultation or opinion wise. Never is late for nothing. I read many years ago " you don't know how many things your lost in live only from the scared to try "
Well done B🎉
Thank you so much for your kind words ilianaconce ❤️ I’m so glad you no longer live by anyone’s standards but yours. Never is late for nothing indeed 😄 and you certainly cannot live in fear! I hope you have awesome years ahead 🎉 and thank you so much once again.
Thank God I bumped into this video, very informative.
I’m glad you found it informative ❤️ It’s important for people to know what they are in for, it could help you make a decision after all 😁
This is informative Sis, thank you. And you are so beautiful❤
You are welcome Regina ❤️ from one beautiful lady to another, thank you for the compliment 🥰
You have been so helpful throughout this journey mama may God bless in all the ways you wish
Oh Busi, ngiyabonga sthandwa! It has been a pleasure assisting where I can! I’m 1 year in & it feels like I started a few weeks ago.
This will be home hopefully next year! Looks fun!
That’s amazing! All the best with your application. It will be home, don’t doubt it ❤️
I finally followed you and I must say I lOVEEEEEE YOUR VIDEO. "never make people part of your decison"
Hello Sindi ☺️thank you very much 😊Yes, NEVER EVER TAKE THEM WITH YOU TO MAKE A DECISION 😅 I’ve learnt from past mistakes, so I decided and inform LATER ❤️
I'm your 777th subscriber🎉 Thank you this video was helpful
Hello Simone! Thank you so much & welcome lucky subie no. 777 😁😁😁
Great video quality, please share which camera or phone you’re using
Thanks Babe, it’s my old iPhone 13 Pro 🥲 I make use of my gimbal app at times & shoot through it depending on the type of video I’m shooting.
❤❤❤ notification gang
Thank you Babe ❤️
😂😂😂in our days, we did our English and Afrikaans lessons & tests in Sesotho 😂 only in grade 11 that's when things changed 😢😢😢 that was way too late for some of us 😅
I actually think our Afrikaans exams were in English too 💀 I don’t actually remember though, but no we had more Afrikaans work to write down 🤣🤣🤣
Very informative ❤
Hello Beelicious as you say. ! I thank you guyz all of you , I was wondering if there's no South Africans abroad and now I'm impressed fly 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦higher and high . My daughter doesn't like to be a foreigner but for me 👍👍👍👍MZANSI
Thank you so much for the compliment ❤️❤️❤️ being abroad is not easy, but we try. Your daughter should step out of mzansi a little bit to join us, she may just love it 🥰🥰🥰
Your skin is skinning honey😍❤️
Thanks Babe, after such a long time 😩 I’m glad my skin is behaving now.
@@queen_be im still trying 😭
@@MamaKaNono what are you using? Try pyunkang mul on Coupang! I swear by that cleanser, serum and moisturizer set. I also use a cleanser from innesfree, the neutrogena cream too, haven’t changed things since.
@@queen_be thanks a million! Tried Corx,cerave😓
Thank you B teacher. You're heaven sent. I'm in my 30s too, you've just responded to some of the questions I have. You're awesome. Thank you for sharing your experience ❤️
I’m so glad I have! Don’t let that age stop you 🤩 we are still YOUNG & FABULOUS!! I’m happy to have put together a video that has assisted you ❤️ All the best with your application.
🤔this is really a lot of work, thought it was just a chance to get a free holiday
A free holiday? I wish! 🥲 okay but, to me it’s sort of a vacation because the work is really easy. I’m so used to it now. I’m even done planing for the rest of the semester 😄
I hate that textbook. I wasn't given the Teacher's Guides for my grades, and the internet at the school blocks the online resources so I have to make it all from just looking at the pictures in the kids textbooks.
Open classes are not mandatory in my province. I've done a few but usually the CoT for that class asks me if it's ok first. I had one CoT plan an open class for me without checking and the VP put him on blast for it.
As far as CoTs.... thats a mixed bag. I currently have 8 who are fantastic.
My first CoT was fine for the first couple of years and then went into full STALKER mode. He harrassed me to the point the OE told the school he is not allowed to be in a room alone with me. Tjat didn't stop either the in-class.or online bullying. The kids reported him constantly for his behaviour toward me in the classroom. Think toxic male bully in k-dramas. He actually put his hand in my face to tell me to "stop!" While I taught. I could literally stick my tongue out and lick his hand it was so close. Then he'd waggle it in my face and say 'start' when HE was ready for me to teach my class, like I was q disobedient dog - which he often called me. He had no problem shouting at me in front of the class or throwing stuff at me. Demanding I create lesson plans for him to teach, stealing my snack supplies (that I pay for), entering my apartment whenever he wanted (he had a key and the school wouldn't let me change it), he would let himself in, eat the food in my fridge or if he saw something he liked he would just take it. I put a camera in the apartment to report him to the police. He'd wait in my building parking lot after work and scream at me until the old lady who lived across from me threatened him if he came again. He tried to sue me for defamation when I reported his behavior to the school AND my Embassy got involved.
I reported him to the OE, they gave my report to the school.
The school said I needed to be quiet and do my job, so it just got worse. I was ready to run, but the OE asked me to wait for my contract to end and transfer instead because I always score very high with the students.
If the Embassy hadn't got involved I think they'd have still expected me to suck it up and keep working with him. There were no consequences on his end.
My new schools (I also have travel schools) and CoTs are amazing.
OMG BABE!!!! This is me right now Redding your text 😳😳😳😳 WTF!!! I’m so sorry you endured such with your previous CT! You had to figure it all out by yourself? Goodness me! I’m so glad you reached out to the embassy too! Gee, I would’ve been scared for life! How did you last that long without quitting 😣 you’re certainly way more brave than I am.
I also can’t believe you work with X8 CT’s (I wouldn’t cope 🥹) geez, I’m guessing you probably teach at 3-4 schools?? I’m happy you have moved to another school, and by the look of things, things seems to be going well there. I hope you never ever have to go through what you did, and as much as your start here may have not been great, it’s good to see that you haven’t allowed it to ruin your stay in Korea! I love this country, there are a few baddies just like everywhere really, but I’ve vowed never to cancel any country because of a few individuals!
I hope the remainder of your contract and time here is super fab! Thank you for sharing your story with me, sending lots of love your way ❤️❤️❤️
The video I didn't know I needed. Thanks Be Teacher🧡
You are welcome Nsovo ❤️❤️
Makes sense nam I don’t want anyone related to work to follow me on the socials
Eyyy Babe, this is how we get into hot water lol imagine criticising your work place , only for a student or CT to see it 😖
Always looking good as always ❤❤❤
Awwwww, Thank You Mthimkhulu wami ❤️

From one beautiful lady to another, Thank you Faith ❤️
