Ria's Program
안녕하세요! Hi everyone!
My name is Ria and I have been living in South Korea since 2021. I've been working at the same private school throughout my time here and have worked my way up to Head Foreign Teacher, so I would like to think I know a thing or two about what it's like to work and live in South Korea. Follow along with me as I help you navigate South Korea and learn helpful tips/tricks to help your stay here be flawless!
