ESL Consulting Reviews

Hello there. I've actually been meaning to post this review for a while now, and wanted to fulfill my promise. I used the services of ESL Consulting in 2023. I had a few special requests which they were so accommodating about. My interview with them was pleasant and I liked that the interviewer was informed and caring. Being my first time teaching English abroad, I had a lot of questions, but my agents were so patient and kind (May and Grace); they always did their best to answer me. This agency never gave up on me during the process and liaised with the school on my behalf. From start to finish ESL Consulting was a pleasure to work with, so I definitely recommend them. I'm so grateful that they even checked up on me once I was teaching overseas, and I'm so glad I got to meet them briefly. With all my heart, thank you so much, ESL Consulting Team!

Since reaching out to the SeoulESL team at the beginning of my journey, I have had an overwhelmingly positive and well supported experience.

I was provided with thorough help whilst preparing for my placement and guided through the most effective courses of action to ensure that my process moved along as smoothly as possible.

I would like to thank Avery in particular for being so helpful and for communicating the steps I was meant to follow in a kind and straighforward manner.

I highly recommend SeoulESL for anyone who is eager move forward professionally with confidence and support.

At the start of my journey to teach in Korea, I interviewed with many recruiters, but the staff at SeoulESL stood out to me, because they treated me warmly, and like they had my best interests in mind. They have a personal element that other recruitment agencies seem to lack.

SeoulESL explained everything I need to have in place to find a job, and as soon as I got my paperwork in order, they sent me a list of schools that I could apply to interview for! Throughout all of the interviews they were really supportive, and if I had any questions or worries, they would help me immediately.

After accepting the contract at my current school, I was a bit worried about the E2 Visa application, but the agency sent me so much information that the entire process went smoothly, and my worry was for nothing. I got my Visa without problem, and in no time I was off to teach in Korea! They sent me so much helpful information about life in Korea too, like how to use transportation

I am so grateful for their recommendation of the hagwon I’m with, it’s the perfect place for me, everyone I work with is lovely, as are the students. I hope to stay here for a long time!

I’d like to say big thank you to SeoulESL for their incredibly valuable help in my journey!

I initially tried job hunting on my own because I was worried that going through an agent might push me into positions that weren’t the right fit for me. After searching for several weeks, attending interviews, and not quite landing the right opportunity, I decided to give Seoul ESL a chance—and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made.

Avery was incredibly fast, efficient, kind, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. She truly listened to my concerns and understood what I was looking for. Rather than simply placing me anywhere, she carefully matched me with schools that suited my personality, needs, and circumstances.

Within a short time, she helped me secure a position that absolutely exceeded my expectations. I was initially a bit nervous about working in Seoul, but it has turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Avery took the time to consider who I am as a person—my personality, my needs, and even my stage of life—and found a workplace where I feel genuinely comfortable and happy. Although it’s still early days, I’m already considering staying longer, and from the feedback I’ve received from colleagues, I can see this is an academy where I can truly grow.

What also stood out to me was the support even after I started the job. Avery and Sammy followed up and checked in to make sure I was settling in well meant a lot.

Thank you so much, Seoul ESL, and especially Avery, for your professionalism, empathy, and continued support throughout the entire process. I am truly grateful.

I had a great experience with ESL Consulting. The team is professional, supportive, and truly dedicated to helping their clients succeed. They communicate clearly, are very knowledgeable, and always make you feel guided and confident throughout the process.

I really appreciated their patience, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to quality. I would absolutely recommend ESL Consulting to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality teaching abroad support. Thank you for such a positive experience!

I had a great experience with SeoulESL. They were very helpful through every process. They placed me in a great school! They were very communicative with any updates or changes that were made immediately. Avery was wonderful and always checking in on me during the process as well as after placed in the school. Any accommodations I have asked for, they have provided! They were incredibly supportive of and would help me navigate any questions or situations I had immediately.

This is my first time moving abroad and so the process seemed stressful but they made sure it was as easy of a transition as possible for me.

I highly recommend anyone interested in this program to work with SeoulESL.

I applied to ESL Consulting and got an interview right away to look at possible opportunities. Right away, ESL Consulting was able to connect me with different interviews from different schools and was able to successfully get an offer from a great English school in Songdo. The process is very easy and simple, as well as the guidance they provide. I got several emails as well, and they would reply fast when I had concerns or questions. I would extremely recommend ESL Consulting to anyone looking to fulfill their dream of teaching abroad in Korea!

I got placed at a hakwon in Seoul for my first year of teaching, and I decided to transition to a private elementary school for my second year. SeoulESL was extremely helpful with this process because it involves a lot of paperwork and the timing has to be correct. They helped me gather the appropriate documents, find a school that matched my experience level, and even helped book a moving agency when it was time to move. It's extremely helpful to work with an agency like SeoulESL because they'll be able to match your experience and qualifications with a good school. They already know all of the schools you'll be applying to, so they'll be able to give you a good idea of the school's expectations and standards.

I'll also add that I've met much of the staff in person, and I think they're wonderful people! They're extremely kind and I'm grateful for the working relationship I've built with them over the past year. Whether you're just starting out teach abroad or you've already been abroad for years, this company will be able to help you and find a job that matches your resume.

I experienced a difficult visa situation due to my previous company refusing to give a letter of consent. SeoulESL helped me through the whole process and made sure I had all my required documents, helped me find a faster way to get a background check, contacted immigration in Fukuoa and Korea on my behalf, and was always very quick and kind with their responses. The process took over 4 months to complete, and they communicated and checked in with me throughout the whole process.

They have been incredibly helpful and professional. I highly recommend them.

SeoulESL has been fantastic in helping me find the right teaching position. Their recruiters were detail-oriented, paying attention to my specific requirements and working tirelessly until they found the role that matched my needs. They seemed to have much more expertise in finding roles for native English teachers than their competitors.

They were quick to answer any questions I had and were proactive in anticipating roadblocks I might face during the process of moving to South Korea.

I would definitely use them again!
