Kim Ki-hoon earns $4 million a year in South Korea,
where he is known as a rock-star teacher - a
combination of words not typically heard in the rest
of the world. Mr. Kim has been teaching for over 20
years, all of them in the country's private, after-
school tutoring academies, known as hagwons.
Unlike most teachers across the globe, he is paid
according to the demand for his skills - and he is in
high demand.
Mr. Kim works about 60 hours a week teaching
English, although he spends only three of those hours
giving lectures. His classes are recorded on video, and
the Internet has turned them into commodities,
available for purchase online at the rate of $4 an
hour. He spends most of his week responding to
students' online requests for help, developing lesson
plans and writing accompanying textbooks and
workbooks (some 200 to date).
"The harder I work, the more I make," he says matter
of factly. "I like that."
