I highly recommend Travel and Teach. My recruiter was Jaemin and he was a star!! Your recruiter helps you every step of the way, checks in on you often, and makes sure there is no confusion. I moved to South Korea during the COVID-19 pandemic. Things were delayed maybe a few weeks because of paperwork processing on the US end, but overall it was faster than I thought it would be (3 months from looking into things to getting to Korea). I had heard stories of 'horror hagwons' but they will make sure you do NOT end up at one of those. I love my school and my students, and have made friends with the many other foreign teachers here. Please keep in mind that at the end of the day this is a job, so do not come if you are just looking for a vacation! But it is very rewarding if you love kids and teaching. Also don't worry too much about being in Seoul or Busan, focus on finding a school you'll be happy at and visit other cities later. ETA: you can work in Seoul or Busan if you want to. Don’t let them tell you no. There are plenty of jobs in the cities.

My contact has been working very closely with me throughout the hiring processes. He has been very patient and answered all of my many questions thoroughly, especially regarding the visa acquisition process. I have not left for Korea yet, but I had help in purchasing a plane ticket and have my entire itinerary planned out for when I arrive. The experience could not have been made easier. I am looking forward to going out there and starting to work with my new school. Overall, wonderful experience.

Jaemin with Travel and Teach has been the biggest help during this time. He was able to get me into touch with great schools in the areas I wanted to be in, and was able to answer all my questions in a timely manner. Along with making sure I would be comfortable for my interviews. Jaemin was great at explaining the contract and making sure I had the correct documents ready, especially since things are a bit different right now with covid restrictions. The whole experience was great and I highly recommend them if you're looking for an English teaching job!

My experience with Travel and Teach was amazing! They worked with me step by step throughout the entire process of moving to and working in Korea. From the initial stages of gathering necessary documents, to setting up interviews with different schools, until the end with purchasing my flight and preparing me for what to expect and who to contact, they were there. They also answered all of my questions, big and small, in a timely manner. If you enjoy teaching and want to live abroad for a year and learn about and experience a new country and culture, Travel and Teach is how you make it happen!

I could not recommend Travel & Teach enough to anyone looking to go on the journey of a lifetime and teach in South Korea. From the very beginning, they made the process as seamless and streamlined as possible, using their wealth of experience and knowledge to help guide you every step of the way. I'm off to Korea tomorrow and it was all because of them! They helped me get my documents together, arranged the interviews with potential schools, and took care of every other detail. They were also there to answer every question I had throughout the process, big or small. Truly thrilled I was able to work with them during this process!

Travel and teach recruiting was so helpful to me when I was trying to find a job as an English teacher in South Korea. They always responded to my questions and concerns, explained the difficult visa process and found me a good school in the location that I wanted. Special shout-out to Jaemin who had to deal with all of my questions. I definitely recommend travel and teach recruiting for those looking to teach in South Korea.

Travel and Teach have been excellent all the way through the process of finding schools to interview with, the visa process and now that I’m over in South Korea. Jaemin has been helpful from when I first applied and had a video call with him, letting me know what to expect from the process and how to get ready. Even when the visa program was shut down due to coronavirus he kept me informed and made sure that when it restarted I would be ready to apply right away and now I’m here in Korea! I’d definitely recommend using Travel and Teach to get started if you want to teach in South Korea.

My recruiter Jaemin was extremely kind, helpful and professional throughout my entire application and placement process! He guided me through every step and answered any questions I had very quickly. He always made sure I knew exactly what to do for each step of the process, and also made sure to place me at a school I felt was the best fit for me. I’d recommend everyone looking to teach English in Korea to go through Travel and Teach & Jaemin!
