Seoul - School Report Question and Answers

Are the teachers at the school required to speak English as a first language--or at least fluently?

Yes, the teachers are fantastic. Not only great teachers but friendly and good coaches and nice people also. - Nov 2015


Yes - typically each class would have one native-English speaker (or a very professionally proficient speaker) and another teacher would be ethnic Korean who is fluent in English, and often is fully bilingual (Korean/English.) All instruction is always in English, though. - Oct 2015


Depends. Age 3-4 class is 90% Korean and an English teacher comes in for about 45 minutes a day to teach some basic English. Age 5 class is 50% Korean, 50% English. Age 6-7 I think has even more English. Usually there is a separate teacher that teaches English apart from the main Korean classroom teacher. - May 2015


yes - Feb 2015
