About Travel & Teach Recruiting Inc.
Travel and Teach Recruiting Inc. was founded in 2001 to provide an opportunity for university graduates looking for jobs teaching English in Korea. As each member of our recruiting team has had their own special experience teaching in Korea, it was important to us to introduce it to others.
With our combined years of teaching experience in cities throughout Korea, we are able to give new teachers the advantage of personal insight and advice on how to make the most of their opportunity there.
