A Keen and Diverse Student Body

A Woosong student can be a 20-something university sophomore or a 40-year-old businessperson. University and college students come from all over Korea; most of our private students live in and around Daejeon. Student needs range from beginner English lessons to advanced adult conversation classes. Generic courses are the norm, but WLI also offers English for Specific Purpose (ESP) classes, covering such specialties as business conversation and writing. At WLI, we also teach high school students as well as kids.

It’s this diversity of the student population that makes a WLI job challenging but interesting. If you feel you can teach only students of a certain type, then working at WLI may be a challenge. As mentioned in the FAQS, it’s vital that you understand that even though as a WLI teacher your contract will be with a specific school, this does not mean that you will teach classes exclusively at that institution.

If you enjoy teaching in different environments to dissimilar students, then WLI is definitely the workplace of choice!

Typical Woosong Student Profiles

WSU Junior, Internet Commerce Major. Has mastered listening, reading and speaking English, but needs practice writing, especially for business purposes (such as getting a job!).

WTC Freshman, Food Science Major. Must complete English courses to graduate. Not exactly happy with this requirement, so some motivation and enjoyment must be supplied along with the grammar!

WLI Student, Daejeon Business Leader. Seeking a promotion to headquarters in Seoul but told she must first improve her English, which includes getting a higher TOEIC score!
