Program Reviews

I absolutely enjoyed my time with Korvia and still am enjoying it. They keep in touch even after arriving. They were always quick to answer any questions and really do care for us. I had the awesome opportunity to have Grace as my recruiter and absolutely loved it. Her other recruits said the same thing. Grace would respond to emails in a very timely manner. She recognized all her recruits when we met during the Korvia pre-orientation. Korvia made the process of adjusting to Korea so much easier. It’s no surprise that they are the biggest recruiter in Korea. Their work is absolutely unmatched. I am very proud to call myself a Korvia recruit. All of Korvia was so helpful. Further, Jinny was a great help and is very active in group chats. I cannot recommend Korvia enough. Thank you for all the support and I look forward to more opportunities to meet up with the Korvia staff.

My girlfriend and I moved to Shenzhen, China about two months ago to teach in a kindergarten. We originally wanted to live and teach in South Korea, but Jinny from Korvia explained the benefits of moving to China instead, and I must say it's been great. I would highly recommend Korvia and Shenzhen to anyone that wants to teach English in a big city in Asia.
Make sure you have realistic expectations before coming here. Make sure you understand what type of teaching you will be doing (kindergarten, primary/high school, training center) and what hours you will be working, as well as what is expected from you at work. This will help you have a positive experience.

My boyfriend and I originally wanted to teach in Korea, but Jinny from Korvia suggested we apply in China instead. We've been here for about two months and are loving it!
We were lucky enough to meet with some of the Korvia team a few weeks ago when they were in Shenzhen, and had a fantastic time. They're professional, friendly, warm and welcoming.
Would definitely recommend their services for either Korea or China.

My experience with Korvia has be wonderful from day one. They help with everything, they set up your interviews and help with all the paperwork required. They listen to what you are looking for in a school and location and try to help place you where you want to be. Always responded in a timely manner. They always answered any questions I had, and trust me I had a lot. Friendly and professional staff. They helped place me in a great school. It was a great experience. I'm glad I went with Korvia! I would definitely recommend them to people who want to teach in South Korea.

Korvia is the BEST recruiting company out there. Not only is it free, but they help you throughout the whole process and even after your placement. They’ll help you set up your bank account and sim card and they’re always willing to help with bumps in the road! The Korvia staff is so informative and always keep you up to date on everything they can. They’ll calm your nerves through a very long process. If you’re looking for reliable, safe support, Korvia is the way to go!

Korvia Consulting is the best recruiting agency to help you find a fantastic ESL job in both South Korea and China. Korvia helped to make my application and transition process for South Korea much more straightforward and stress-free. I highly recommend using Korvia as your recruiting agency; they will provide you with services that you won't find with any other recruiter. Because of their services, I have transitioned to life in Korea much faster than I had anticipated.

This is my second year teaching English in South Korea and honestly Korvia is the best recruiter out of all the other recruiters I've used. Korvia went above and beyond my expectations.

My first year working in South Korea wasn't the best experience. When I applied to my first recruiter, they wanted to interview me right away and I also got the job right away. However after getting all my paperwork done, they basically ghosted me. After arriving in South Korea, I was expected to find my way to a hotel in Gangnam from Incheon Airport and all they wrote in the email was to find a black taxi to take me there. This was my first time in South Korea and I had no idea what to do or where to go! After ending my first year, I emailed the recruiter TWICE (one in Jan 2017 and another in June 2017) and asked for another position but they never responded to me both times.

But luckily I did NOT have this problem with Korvia. They were very professional throughout the entire recruiting process. They emailed me possible schools that fit my preferences and always emailed me back if an interview was successful or unsuccessful and why it was so. When I arrived back in Korea for my second year (I went back home for a year), Korvia very kindly arranged an airport pickup service despite my flight landing at 3am KST. It was definitely very helpful to have someone pick me up instead of lugging two big suitcases around looking for a way to get to my hotel.

Overall, I definitely recommend Korvia. I've had another recruiter put in their profile that I'm Korean-American even though I specifically stated that I am Vietnamese-American and had a directly rudely ask me in an interview why my parents never taught me Korean. Trust me. Korvia is doing something right and I would definitely use them again should I decide to stay another year in South Korea.

When I decided to move abroad to teach I didn’t know what recruitment programs were out there. I stumbled upon Korvia in a google search and was drawn to the thoroughness of their website and the fact that they worked directly with the Gyeongsangnamdo province in South Korea. I had already decided that I did not want to be in Seoul, and to know from the start that I could choose to be closer to Busan was an immediate win for me.

I was able to complete most of the initial process with just the information available on their website. You can find almost everything there. My recruiter was Brian Yun and he was always willing to help and answer questions. I was never left guessing about anything. Even after arriving in Korea, I received messages checking on me and seeing if I needed help with anything. I also received a lot of help from Daisy and other members of the team. They support you start to finish!

The interview process was very thorough and the korvia team helped me to make choices with age ranges and cities.
Korvia offered me loads of great positions, they were ever so helpful throughout this process.
While in korea they make check ups visa email. The position given to me was brilliant I didn't need much more guidance.
I would highly recommend Korvia and choose them again in the future.

When I first moved to Korea 5 years ago I used Korvia. The process was daunting but Korvia stuck with me and supported me the entire way. Things got complicated and at one point I even lost a position due to some unforeseen occurrences, but my recruiter did not give up. I was placed at an amazing school and I stayed there for four years. Fast forward two years later, my second time in Korea and with a new school.

Ann Park helped me maneuver through some tricky paperwork and a sticky move. She was professional and attentive to my needs and concerns. This is what you want--an agency that really takes their time to get it right and help you every step of the way, even if you´re a vet like me. Living in a country where you can´t speak the language you will always need support.

Imagine how shocked I was to see all of my papers filled out and only needing my signature. My immigration appointment booked for me, and the moving van at my previous apartment waiting to take me to my new home.

Thanks again Korvia and thank you Ann! You really lifted a lot of stress off of my shoulders. Thanks again!

Best,
Kelly
