If you\u2019ve been offered a position in the Korean public school system, these expectations can be realistic. But you can expect things to be different when placed in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/grrrltraveler.com\/10-facts-korean-school\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Korean private schools<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; and for your information, private schools in Korea are known as hagwons. Work in these private schools is more demanding as compared to public schools, with the starting salary for both private and public schools being almost the same. You also need to be flexible enough if you\u2019ve been placed in a private school. This is because they have stricter rules and in addition to this, you have to work for longer hours as compared to teaching in a public school. To help you out, you\u2019ll want to make contact with experienced teachers to get an idea of how to navigate in your school setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lesson planning<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-94301\" src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/child2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"510\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:510\/h:340\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/child2.png 510w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:200\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/child2.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a new teacher in Korea, planning for your very first lessons can seem challenging.
