About Guardian English

Guardian English (가디언어학원) is a private English academy in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, in the DMC / World Cup Stadium area, right in front of Sangam High School. Our slogan is "What you learn will be your Guardian!" We help students build real English skills they can use with confidence, through academy-developed materials, reading and writing programs, and school exam support. Classes are kept small so every teacher can give students individual attention, and our Korean staff handle parent communication and administration so you can focus on teaching.

The Position

We are hiring one native English teacher for a short-hours, weekday-only role.

• Monday & Tuesday: Sangam Campus, elementary classes (60-minute classes)

• Wednesday–Friday: Hyangdong Campus, middle school classes (40-minute blocks)

Because Wednesday to Friday are short evening shifts, you enjoy a strong work-life balance: free mornings every day and early afternoons free from Wednesday to Friday.
