* Remember, this is as young as 3 years old and up to 6 years old in Western age. If you have no to little experience
   dealing with children not much more than toddlers, make sure you have a Zen level type personality. Very, very
   draining!

* Exactly what waygo0k said. These jobs are illegal for E2 visa people. An E2 is only for teaching conversational English.
  You will be fined and/or deported if immigration catch you. The hagwon owners will most likely BS you by saying you
   are teaching science, music, social studies etc, in English.  Not the same as teaching conversational English. Be
   careful! The Hagwon will not get in much trouble, but you will.

It doesn’t.

F-visa is a permanent resident visa (can also be a marriage visa). An F-visa where the holder is married to a Korean means that holder can work wherever they wish. An F-visa where the holder is married to another foreigner (who is also on a work visa) doesn’t grant that F-holder the right to work, they need to go and apply for special permissions from immigration)

Essentially, having the right kind of F visa just means the holder isn’t bound by E-2 restrictions. A loophole in the system.

Minor correction and additions: F series are long term residency visas (F-5 is the permanent residency one). F2's, which most F holders who aren't Korean descended or married to a Korean have, need renewing/reassessing every 1-5 years (depending on how long the immigration worker decided to grant you on that particular day). With an F visa you can work the hours you choose and have more freedom. E-2 visas (the usual visa for English teachers) are tied to your job contract; they need renewing each year and if you quit, are fired or don't renew then your visa is in jeopardy.

Ah yeah, I heard that had been happening, as well as people now having difficulty with their businesses. Shame they seem to be trying to push us out unless you earn 6 figures (9 figures). If you're on the F-2-7 they've put more emphasis on salary and you are losing points once you pass 35 years old too so it's an uphill battle.

E-2 visa holders can only teach English conversation (officially). And they cannot teach any courses/programs that will lead to formal credits or qualifications.

So while E-2 visa holders can work in public, private and international schools...they can't teach ELA nor give formal grades that will lead (or contribute) to a school-leaving certificate.

Wow. I signed up to this board for some resources. I'm learning so much

Just to expand waygo0k's point a bit: E-2 visas are for foreign language instructors, and they are permitted to teach *any* language, so long as they are conversational teachers.
My old school had a Chinese language E-2 teacher.

So if you wanted to teach, say IELTS writing, you would need a different visa? 

Inflammable means flammible? What a country!
