About BarleyGrasshopper English Academy

BarleyGrasshopper English Academy is a small, student-centered English academy located in Bundang.

We believe that children learn English best when they are surrounded by an environment where they feel comfortable speaking, asking questions, making mistakes, and expressing their own ideas.

Rather than focusing mainly on traditional ESL instruction, memorization, or test preparation, our classes emphasize:

• Speaking and natural conversation
• Reading and comprehension
• Discussion-based learning
• Critical thinking and opinion sharing
• Creative and academic writing
• Literature and storybook-based learning
• Student presentations and participation

Many of our students are beginner to intermediate English learners, particularly kindergarten and elementary-aged students who are still building confidence in English.

Our goal is to create an environment similar to an English-speaking kindergarten or elementary classroom, where students can learn English naturally through conversation, interaction, repetition, encouragement, and meaningful communication.

A Small and Caring Academy

BarleyGrasshopper English Academy is a small academy, and we value a warm, supportive, and family-like working environment.

Our native English-speaking teachers are long-term members of our teaching community, with teachers staying with us for several years. We value consistency and hope to find someone who would also enjoy building meaningful relationships with our students and team.

We are especially looking for a teacher who genuinely likes children and is willing to give individual attention and care to each student.

For us, a good teacher is not simply someone who can explain a textbook well. We want someone who notices when a student is struggling, encourages shy students to speak, celebrates their progress, and helps them feel comfortable and confident in English.

• Genuinely enjoys working with children
• Is warm, patient, encouraging, and caring

• Understands that beginner learners need repetition, encouragement, and clear explanations
• Can create a fun and natural English-speaking environment
• Is comfortable leading speaking, reading, and discussion activities
• Can manage a classroom confidently while maintaining a positive atmosphere
• Is professional, punctual, dependable, and responsible
• Communicates well with students, coworkers, and parents
• Values teamwork and consistency
• Is interested in growing together with a small academy

• Have completed the required degree/diploma verification
• Have completed the required criminal background check from their home country
