So, I finally got a job.
It's at a Korean school in Talamban. The hours are a little more intense than I'm used to - five hours a day Monday-Friday, which isn't bad at all, but the school requires I show up at 8AM every day even though my first class isn't until 11.
My one class, repeated five times, is Speaking - always the weak point of the Asian English-language student. Reading, writing, and grammar are fine, but when it comes to expressing their ideas in English it's usually a struggle.
My classes are quite small - only one to three students - but the students are nice enough. Most of them are planning to go to the US, Canada or Australia at the end of the summer, so that's motivation enough for them.
Also, lunch is included - Korean food of course, which isn't my favorite, but it tastes alot better because it's free.

well done noah
Great that you found a job.
Are your students Filipinos or are they Koreans? If they are Koreans, is there a big Korean community in Cebu? How did they end up in Cebu?

Many Koreans come to the Philippines ot study English. There is more opportunity for them to practice, and they can live and study in Cebu for the price of simply studying English in Korea.
