Come Work With Us, Not For Us – ESL Position at Ron English (Incheon) | August Start | ₩2.5M+ | Direct Hire

At Ron English, teachers are trusted to lead their classes independently, while also being part of a school where collaboration, communication, and shared growth are welcomed and supported.

Hello! My name is Trevor, and I am the co-owner and head teacher at Ron English. We are currently hiring an experienced teacher for our second branch. We are seeking someone who has prior teaching experience in Korea and enjoys working with elementary-aged children.

As our second campus grows, we are looking to add one more teacher to our team of seven native English-speaking instructors. Our school’s philosophy is “Happy, Simple, English.” We strive to make students feel safe and comfortable in a supportive academic environment focused on holistic English development. Our goal is to foster a fun, low-stress atmosphere that builds a lasting interest in learning English.

We value teachers who enjoy both autonomy and collaboration—sharing ideas and best practices to help each other grow. Our curriculum is fully prepared and provided, so there’s no need to create new materials. Instead, teachers are encouraged to use their prep time to focus on lesson delivery, classroom engagement, and creating or adapting supplementary materials to support their students as needed.

We appreciate teachers who know how to create lively, student-centered classrooms that spark engagement while supporting academic growth. At Ron English, we believe that language is learned through social interaction—not silent observation. Our ideal classroom isn’t quiet—it’s active, collaborative, and sometimes noisy, as students practice English through meaningful use, not passive listening.

Students attend classes five days a week, and class sizes are capped at 8 students. Monday through Thursday are standard lessons, and Fridays are reserved for activity-based classes connected to weekly themes—planned by our team of teachers.
