What your shortlist looks like
Educators who allow discovery can add an intro card: a headline, three strengths and how they teach. You see it without name or contact details; those follow once the educator approves the introduction.
I plan units backwards from assessment criteria and use short weekly checks so no student falls behind unnoticed.
Play-based learning with clear routines, and a short photo update for parents every Friday.
I start counselling in Grade 9 and keep families informed in English and Korean.

Educator profiles are private. We share a candidate's details with your school only after that candidate agrees to the introduction.
No. We prepare the document checklist and timeline with your HR team. The application is filed by the school or its licensed agent.
