i went to a few different elementary schools (all in my state) as a kid because of my family's financial situation at the time. will i need to list every single one of those elementary schools, or can i just put down the elementary school that i was at for the longest time? do they ask for specific dates or times that you attended each school for? i'm planning on applying for august 2021 (yes i'm waaay early lol) and have spent all day binging your videos. you are really well spoken and all of the information and insight you give is so helpful!!
totally understand! to be honest, they won’t actually look up your records and ask why you didn’t list 3 schools haha. and to be honest, i think my interviewer was like ....... when she saw so many schools on my application (i think i even left out one or 2 lol), so its probably best to leave some off. i would say list the main ones and just have the years add up. they won’t call your past schools and ask for proof haha thank you so much! i’m glad they are helpful to you! and absolutely no problem starting early 😉 i started 2 years before i applied haha
hey it's anne ahhh thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly!! thank god, i was really hoping i wouldn’t have to go soooo in depth. thank you so much!
if you wouldn’t mind sharing your answer to question 7, i would love to hear it. i know Korea is a heavily respect based society, so calling them out in front of the students is a no no, however, you don’t want to send the students home with false information. seems like a lose lose to me?z
you want to speak to your co-teacher in private about the situation, but not in an attacking/i-know-more-than-you type of way. make it clear to the interviewer that you respect the co-teacher and you wouldn’t want to embarrass them or have kids learn the incorrect material honestly in real life, this depends on the kind of ct you have. mine are actually cool with me correcting them in front of the kids because we have a great relationship with each other. i know some friends’ ct’s tell them “well the book says this so they have to learn it this way” even if it’s wrong
i really wanted daejeon, but i quickly realized during my intake that make applicants were putting daejeon and i didn't want to risk being put in a rural area. sejong is also very close to daejeon and centrally located so i didn't mind changing my preference :)
Could I just find them on Skype and say" so excited for the interview" the day off? I have 2 different Skype accounts and I don't want them to choose the wrong one
not sure why the volume lowers when i uploaded my videos onto youtube but they were fine while editing. but this video was over a year ago and i have a mic now, thanks for the feedback :)
As someone preparing for the 2020 fall intake, your videos have probably been some of the most helpful I've seen so thank you so much!
thank you so much! 😊
Hey..check out my story...work at a Korean university..you will have Freedom!

Hey Anne, thank you for finally doing your interview video. i have been waiting for it, so informative. Thank you :) :)

Lovely presentation and very informative- thank you for sharing!
was there a reason you chose to apply through korvia rather than directly through epik? loved the tips! ☺️

Hi Anne
My name is patience from Nigeria
Can Nigeria apply for epik or teaching in Korea as an English teacher
no, unfortunately. you can check EPIK's full list of requirements on their website
why did you change your preference city ?
i really wanted daejeon, but i quickly realized during my intake that make applicants were putting daejeon and i didn't want to risk being put in a rural area. sejong is also very close to daejeon and centrally located so i didn't mind changing my preference :)
hey girl... would u mind sharing who ur interviewer was?
Do you know what the kakao group name is ?
it is different every spring and fall intake of every year. you can search in the kakaotalk app or search through reddit
Could I just find them on Skype and say" so excited for the interview" the day off? I have 2 different Skype accounts and I don't want them to choose the wrong one
hahaha i don’t know how they will take that 😂you will put your skype account on your application!
I think you seriously need to invest in a mic I can't hear.
not sure why the volume lowers when i uploaded my videos onto youtube but they were fine while editing. but this video was over a year ago and i have a mic now, thanks for the feedback :)
