Program Reviews

SeoulESL has been so great from the beginning of my journey. Joy and Sammie are so kind and very helpful. Sammie did my initial interview and she was so friendly and lovely to speak with. Joy is always so quick to answer any of my questions and she continues to help me now that I have arrived in Seoul. I only had 2 months to prepare before my move and she was so awesome and supportive throughout this experience. The interview process was also very straightforward and I ended up with a great school. I definitely recommend SeoulESL to everyone.

Since university, I had been seeking out an opportunity to expand my knowledge base and experience of other cultures, especially Korean culture. With that in mind, I started to look at what was available and happened to stumble upon the chance to teach English in South Korea.

ESL Consulting has helped and supported me through the entire process, including the visa process, interview process and connecting with the school I would be working for and even continued to help once I landed in Seoul, and with the taxi to my accommodation.

I would highly recommend ESL Consulting to anyone who is interested in teaching English in Korea.

SeoulESL made my dream of teaching in Korea a reality. They provided clear instructions, a lot of useful information, and quick responses throughout the entire process. Several interviewing opportunities came my way and I was even given tips on how to handle them. The daunting task of applying to work in a foreign country, obtaining my visa, and finding my way there became a walk in the park. Any question I had along the way was answered, and I never felt lost in what to do next. Even after arriving in Korea, I was checked up on and asked if everything was alright. SeoulESL ensures that you find what you're looking for and that any issues along the way are resolved.

I have been in South Korea for almost two years now and it was all with the help of Seoul ESL. They were great at walking me through the necessary paperwork and answering all my questions. They also stayed in contact with me after I arrived and made sure things were going smoothly. They were always ready to answer questions or confer with my school if needed. The staff was also patient with my endless questions. I recommend this program especially for building your resume and you have the welcome flexibility of being as thorough in your questions as you like.

I have been in South Korea for about a month now and it would not be possible without Seoul ESL! They helped alot when it came to understanding the necessary paperwork in travel during the pandemic and aided in any problems I had. They also stayed in contact with me once I landed and helped me through all the quarentine requirements to ensure everything was done safely and correctly. The employees were always patient and helped me with all my little questions. They were so helpful! I would recommend them to any traveler!

Joy from SeoulESL has been amazing in helping me get a placement in South Korea. Navigating the international jobs market is hard, and Joy answered all my questions, provided extensive and detailed information about anything I needed, and was even on hand via messenger to answer and queries I had while in quarantine and help me get to my medical appointments etc. I don't think I would have been able to navigate the additional complications of covid and quarantine in a country where I speak very little of the language without her help.

Navigating a foreign job market as an immigrant is never an easy task, let alone during the highly uncertain and ever-changing times of COVID. Work abroad opportunities need to be analysed carefully, especially since some services are in limited supply due to pandemic-related restrictions.

Thanks to SeoulESL I not only got placed in one of my top 2 areas of interest, but landed an attractive and reputable opportunity at a private school within a week of sending the agency my application materials.

Joy was, and continues to be, my main point of contact, and I cannot emphasise how instrumental her support was throughout the process: from keeping me informed on the status of my Visa Confirmation Number, to arranging a job interview promptly via Skype and being on call while I was at the airport, I cannot stress how important having the right kind of help is to make the most out of your teach abroad experience.

Joy consistently checked in during my two week quarantine, and communicated with the school to ensure I had transportation to travel to and from the PCR test site, and asked if there was anything I required assistance with.

I highly recommend SeoulESL as a reliable partner in your exciting ESL journey!

I would highly recommend SeoulESL's services. Joy and Sammie were such a huge help in terms of finding interviews, helping us to prepare for the interviews and guiding us throughout our whole journey and quarantine process. With all the extra complications of Covid-19 it just felt extra vital to have their guidance and experience.

They were informative, supportive and always so helpful and kind, and Joy especially went above and beyond to address all of our questions and concerns. I would highly recommend them to anyone who's considering teaching in Korea for the first time.

I’m so happy me and my boyfriend decided to go with Seoul ESL as they really ensured our move to Korea was as smooth as possible. They were very good at accommodating us and our plans to teach in Korea together as a couple. They were also very quick at responding to questions and were so helpful and attentive throughout our quarantine. Joy was so easy to talk to and really made what was already a very stressful time to move (with Covid) much more doable and straightforward. I would highly recommend this service!
