My Experience So Far

My recruiter during the process was easy to reach and willing to answer any question I had on the expexact. They were helpful in getting me information about what to expect and pack in order to move to korea. My only concern was the lack of information about housing. I did not find out where I would be staying untill the week before I left, which was concerning.

The school I am placed in is nice. The other foreign teachers are always helpful both for school concerns and questions about living in korea as an expact. Its hard getting close or talking to the korean teachers outside of just relaying school info. I started work with other new people so I have others who are in the same situation as me woth learning which makes the cultural shock a lot easier.

Pros
  • I have made really good friends.
  • I get to experience a new culture outside of experiencing it on a vacation.
Cons
  • Not close or friendly to the native teachers.
  • Hard to grasp quickly what is expected and must be done.

Excellent Program!

I had an amazing experience working with Gone2Korea. From the very beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and genuinely supportive throughout the entire process. They took the time to answer all of my questions, provided clear guidance, and made sure I felt prepared and confident every step of the way.

What stood out most was how smooth and stress-free they made everything feel. Moving abroad can be overwhelming, but their organization and communication really helped ease that process. I always felt informed and knew exactly what to expect.

I truly appreciate their dedication and would highly recommend Gone2Korea to anyone looking for opportunities in Korea.

Gone2Korea is the way to go

Having a chance to live in South Korea has been a dream of mine for 5+ years. I never thought I’d be able to achieve that but, Gone2Korea helped make my dream a reality. My recruiter helped me every step of the way and I couldn’t thank them enough for helping me through the process. Gone2Korea is definitely the way to go if you’ve been contemplating taking the leap and trying teaching in Korea!
The work culture here cause a major culture shock for me and made things even more difficult. Make sure you can adapt well for this.

What was your funniest moment?
I had the smallest children in the school and the amount of funny moments I received from them are countless.

One of my students would repeat everything I said, which brought to light all of my unique phrases that I didn’t even realize I had. (Ex. “Oh on, sorry buddy.”).
Pros
  • Freedom to travel around Korea with ease because of the distance. L
  • Experience a new culture.
  • For me, getting to experience public transport and the pros of it.
Cons
  • Many times I would be left scrambling because I was given short notice. This was something I experienced while dealing with the school directly, so I believe it al starts from there and is not due to Gone2Korea themselves.
  • There were a couple middle men which made communication difficult at times and left confusion on who I should speak with about what.
  • Sometimes there is communication issues because of the language barrier. This mostly refers to the school itself and not a the recruiter.

Excellent service and really helpful people - I couldn’t have done this without them!

I would recommend this to anyone looking to move to Korea, as the team were very knowledgeable, approachable and helpful. I found this program to be extremely easy to work with, any issues I had the team immediately worked to solve, and I felt very supported along the way. As this is such a daunting experience, that feeling of support, and like someone was on my side, really made a difference! They made sure I got exactly what I wanted from this experience, in terms of location and school preference.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve-wracking moment were the few days before my flight, when everything was starting to hit me! But the manual provided by Gone2Korea as well as their advice really out my mind at ease (as much as possible!). My arrival at the airport, the immigration process, and purchasing a SIM were all seamless.
