                                                            In short, GEPIK is the Gyeonggi-do school division’s English program.  The jobs are government contracts and are 100% secure.  Teachers, who teach with GEPIK, work at one school and are “the” English teacher (meaning they are the only native English speaker at that school).

                                                            The cities located in this province are what we refer to as Seoul "Satellite" cities. The GEPIK program is a government initiative that employs native English teachers to teach in Public schools. Being government schools, the contract is 100% secure. Teach ESL Korea has placed over 200 teachers at GEPIK schools and in the last 12 months and we are the #1 GEPIK recruiting company with Jane and Scott. From all reports, our teachers are very happy!
