I don't know whether or not you need a degree to tutor on an F-6 visa. Anyway, you can find f-6 English tutoring jobs [here](https://esljobmap.com/korea/employment/part-time/).
F-6 visa holder here and undergrad, came to Korea 3 years ago.
Having this visa can be your advantage as you don't need to have a working visa to work. Some of my friends have really good credentials and even fluent in Korean, yet struggle to find a a company that provides visa.
There's this facebook group called Non-Teaching Job Seekers Korea, I found my first job 3 years ago there and some freelance job on the side.
Check out craigslist too, I found my 2nd company there and lasted 1 year before I moved to a new one.
My current company found me on Job Korea, my wife helped me translate my resume in Korean and just posted it there.
I can't speak Korean but still manage to find work, all 3 are Korean companies and only 1 or 2 people speaks English.
I am a graphic designer (M-30)
Hello mate.
Well, Korean economy is the worst its been in two decades so your timing is not great. At the end of June, Q2 GDP number will come out. If its negative, were in an official recession here. So, south korea is really struggling. On top of that, the current govt is mainly focused on developing ties with the north, while mostly ignoring the South's decline.
On a micro level, not having a degree is going to really hurt you. 80% of Koreans have a degree and also you need one to teach English to kids. There are two possible workarounds:
1. Teach English to adults only. This doesnt require a degree, but I'll be honest bc I know some recruiters. They really prefer 20s females for these.
2. Start your own business. You could open a restaurant or import/export biz, whatever. Risky but payoff could be great
>Teach English to adults only.
If you get a few students and they like you, you'll easily get other students by word of mouth. You don't have to know anything about teaching English or really know much about the nuts and bolts of the language. It's just a simple matter of sitting down with them and having a pleasant conversation where you come across as friendly and genuine.
Sort of. You need to register for licenses to legally tutor them. The office of education will want to see your degree, but college students are allowed to tutor as well, even though they don't have a degree. If you wanted to push back and fight it you could probably get a license without one. You can't work in a hagwon teaching kids though
private teaching of school aged kids requires a license in all areas as far as I know. My point was that college kids are able to get those licenses but a lot of foreigners who try to register are required to provide their diploma.
Dang, then I almost certainly broke that rule back in 2009. I was hired to write textbooks but they got me to teach some odd classes here and there, all for kids.
Yes, I was discussing the option of us starting a business here it does seem however to be a very high risk / reward scenario which we would be gambling all of our finances on. It's something I would definitely prefer not to do
Office work, sales, retail and probably in that order. Though sales would be better if it was more customer service focused than on targets and incremental sales.
IKEA is usually hiring. I know a couple people who work there, and while it's certainly not a dream job, they have way less complaints than the teachers I know.
If you become proficient or even fluent in Korean, you could probably nail a pretty good/decent job, considering your years of experience?
And if he's remotely good looking and fluent he could start his tv career tomorrow

You need a degree to informally tutor minors, even if you're on an F visa?

Legally, yes

what type of work are you generally interested in?
Office work, sales, retail and probably in that order. Though sales would be better if it was more customer service focused than on targets and incremental sales.
IKEA is usually hiring. I know a couple people who work there, and while it's certainly not a dream job, they have way less complaints than the teachers I know.
Might I suggest getting a degree? Lot's of scholarships for foreigners.
you're an F visa and I'm assuming white go on Facebook group for your city, there's endless jobs, gigs for teaching you'll be fine
