But she cautioned that there were horror stories.
"Anything bad can happen. I heard about someone who came over and had no apartment [which was promised] and no paycheck at the end of the month. It's a gamble."
Andrea said she was paid US$1,600 a month, got free housing, airfare voucher and some free medical care.
She also warned that teaching illegally was practically impossible in South Korea and even doing private lessons was likely to lead to a heavy fine and even deportation.
Another teacher said the "English-language police" went to schools and asked children if they had private tuition in order to catch out teachers giving lessons.
Tickets, please
South Korean soccer bosses are understandably worried about empty stadiums for World Cup matches, since they want the tournament to be an unqualified success.
While demand for opening-game tickets has been strong, tickets for some of the less popular games are still unsold.
As a result, hundreds of volunteers have been sent out over the city of Seoul and around the country where matches are being held to drum up support.
Teams of volunteers can be found at subway stations and on the trains, dispensing match schedules.
An official at the temporary FIFA headquarters in Seoul explained that attendances so far had been good and the South Korean football association wanted to maintain this record. Hence the volunteers.
Ticket touts were in evidence at the French game. Tickets for Brazil against Costa Rica were going for 100,000 South Korean won (US$77).
