Experience with ESL Consulting

ESL Consulting was very responsive and often checked in with the lengthy process of my visa documents, which I appreciated. They also were prompt in answering questions that I had, and were transparent in how my applications were to the schools I was interested in. As well, they were thorough in explaining the documents process and were still open to my questions even after arrival, as quarantine is required at the moment. Overall, I am happy to have worked with them to secure my position here in South Korea, especially during the tumultuous time of COVID-19 where international jobs are difficult to attain.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Be transparent with your work placement desires so that you can find a good fit for what you are hoping to gain in working abroad.

Experience with SeoulESL

My experience with SeoulESL was nothing short of amazing! I was referred to SeoulESL by my best friend who had recently found a job in South Korea. She assured me that SeoulESL would make the whole process so much easier and honesty I think it was the best decision I’ve made this year! I applied to SeoulESL the last weeks of May and landed multiple teaching jobs in late June! Danielle and Joy are both so amazing, helpful, and friendly, and they were both with me every step of the way! Beyond grateful!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Getting all the paperwork sorted for the visa was the most nerve-taking moment but SeoulESL was always there to help answer my questions in a timely manner.

My Experience

I had a great experience working with this company. They guided me through the process with ease and I am excited to begin my journey. I started this journey in December of 2020 and by April 2021 I was hired. They accommodated to my desire to be placed with my sister and for that I am grateful. My coordinator answered all of my emails in a timely manor and was very patient with me, no matter how stupid my questions seemed. This is a daunting journey, but without a doubt very rewarding. I am very appreciative to the entire team that got me here.

What would you improve about this program?
I would include a checklist for each teacher of what paperwork they need to have before they board the plane.

Esl Consulting beginning experience

Honestly I have had a few different recruiters from Esl Consulting and by far Danielle is the absolute best!! I heard about this program from my best friend and I have always wanted to teach in Korea. Danielle is absolutely wonderful!! She is so kind, bright, quick and calming. She was able to get me into a school in a matter of two weeks and despite the craziness of my visa I am so blessed to have her helping me. She made each hurdle calming and I’m so happy to start working for my new school!!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I would have to say it was doing my interview in person during the craziness of COVID, but my new school environment and faculty truly made me feel welcomed so the nerves melted away and I was able to share all my teaching knowledge!

Great Experience

I had such a good time throughout the entire experience. My recruiter was very patient with me, which was very helpful as I was working a lot during my application. She was also very informative and made sure I had everything I needed to properly immigrate. Even after landing she has helped answer all my questions and acted as a great bridge between me and my school. My housing is in a very calm and quiet location, with a busting city center only 20 mins away, which is exactly what I wanted. There are a lot of restaurants and shop in the area so it is very convenient for me. My school staff has also been very kind to me, from my interview to my arrival, they have made sure I have everything I need to thrive here. There are also a lot of helpful international teacherers who answer all my questions and help guide me in the right direction. I am so thankful for my stress free experience.

Definitely recommend Seoul ESL

Danielle from SeoulESL was so helpful every step of the way. With Covid-19, things are a bit more complicated but she helped me with every step to make sure that I had a smooth move to Korea. She got everything done quickly and efficiently. They helped me find a good school in a location that I wanted. When moving abroad there are a lot of things to consider especially when it comes to choosing the right school and right location. Seoul ESL definitely helped me with choosing a great location and a great school.

Second time, always a charm

This is my second year in South Korea, and my second time making use of Seoul ESL Consulting to help me find a suitable school. Thie first experience was good, but I wanted to move to a more central location in Seoul whilst still working at a good school. After contacting my first recruiter, I had several interviews scheduled within a week and the whole process was really great. They support you every step of the way. A fantastic team, making the whole endeavor slightly less daunting. I would recommend this recruiting company to anyone (and I have several times in the past year!). Here's to another lovely year in this amazing country!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Take your time choosing a location in which you are interested and balance it out with the schools you like the best. I think it's really important to remember that a work-life balance is important, especially in another country. You should have time to soak in some new experiences and be open to meeting new people, it makes all the hard work worth it!.

Would have been lost without them!

From beginning to end SeoulESL was amazing! Chloe, Danielle, and Sammie were in constant contact. They made sure I had all of the necessary information and answered any questions I had. I never had to wait longer than 24 hours for a response. I definitely would not have been able to make this move without them. COVID has made things more complicated but SeoulESl was there every step of the way. Highly recommend this recruiting company for peace of mind and friendly service. Thank you to everyone at SeoulESL!

Unwavering Support

My experience with SeoulESL consulting has been amazing, to say the least. After completing my undergraduate studies in May of 2020, I knew I wanted to begin this journey of moving abroad to South Korea to teach English. With the COVID-19 pandemic wreaking havoc on the world, I feared that schools wouldn't be interested. Luckily I stumbled across Seoul ESL. My recruiters have been nothing but helpful, supportive, and understanding throughout this entire process. Don't hesitate to choose SeoulESL!

Great experience with SeoulESL recruiting

I received great support from my recruiter Danielle at SeoulESL. She walked me through all the steps for visa application and answered every single one of my many questions. I’m really thankful for her patience and for helping me secure a job in Korea at an awesome private school. :) This is my first time coming to Korea to teach so I didn’t even know where to start and with covid everything seemed even more complicated but thanks to all the help, I got to Korea safely and can’t wait to start working.
