There is some debate as to whether it's genuine. I think it is, but you
should decide for yourself.

Dear MIT SPS,

I am seeking highly qualified math and science instructors for a intense
exam preparation
program in Seoul, Korea called Byungjin Hakwon.  The program is six weeks
long; from
Monday, 21 December 2009 to Friday, 29 January 2010.  Instructors will be
compensated
with a base pay of 31,800,000 Korean won (approx. USD 24,900) for those with
doctoral
degrees or are doctoral degree candidates, and 24,700,000 Korean won
(approx. USD 19,300)
for those who are not, plus performance-based bonuses.  Airfare, housing,
teaching supplies,
and some local transportation costs are provided.

Our students are Korean secondary school students planning to apply to U.S.
universities.
They are preparing for SAT subject and AP exams in mathematics, computer
science,
chemistry, physics, and biology.  Instructors will be assigned to teach one
or two subjects at
two or more levels.  Class sizes are small (6-8 students), which allow for
much individual
attention.  Instructors can expect to spend about 20 hours per week in the
classroom with
20-40 hours per week preparing lessons and evaluating homework assignments.

Once instructors have been hired in September, they must be available to
attend five
all-day weekend training sessions held in fall 2009 in Boston, New York, or
San Francisco.
These sessions will familiarize instructors with our curriculum and Korean
culture.  The
exact schedule will take into account instructor availability but will be
fixed by mid-September.

Instructors must be citizens of the Republic of Korea or of the United
States.  Classes will
be held in English; fluency in English is required.  No knowledge of the
Korean language is
necessary, but would be helpful.  We prefer students at top U.S.
universities, such as the
Ivy League, Stanford, MIT, Caltech, etc.

Please ask anyone interested to get in touch with me.  Thank you.

Sincerely,

Hyun-Won Park, Ph.D.
Curriculum Development Director
Byungjin Hakwon
