Program Reviews

I had taught in Korea previously, hired through EPIK. This time around I was interested in expanding my options and looked into non-public school job postings. It was a little overwhelming, so I figured applying to a recruitment agency would take some of the stress away. Chloe with Seoul ESL took care of me from beginning to end. She set me up with a great list of jobs throughout Korea, and I was lucky enough to interview successfully with my first pick. Chloe stayed in consistent contact with me over the following months and helped me navigate the complicated process of visa applications and Covid-19 travel policies. She always replied promptly to my questions and made sure I had all the resources to make my travel to Korea as smooth as possible.

I am very pleased with the placement and support I got from Seoul ESL and my recruiter, Chloe. Coming to Korea during the pandemic and finding a job in a great part of Seoul was something other recruiters said was not possible but it was an extremely quick and painless process. Additionally Seoul ESL guided me through some particularities that exist due to coronavirus. I would happily recommend this service to those looking to come to Korea to teach. This is my second time coming to Korea and it was even easier than the first, even with additional formalities.

I’ve already experienced working in Korea, I had a great deal of support from my former employer and was worried it wouldn’t be the same and as personal with a recruiter. Perhaps this is usually the case, but not with Chloe. To start with, she made me feel very comfortable in the screening interview and almost straight away had some preference-matching suggestions for me. This is particularly impressive considering the pandemic, the amount of people looking for work at the moment and academies choosing not to have as many foreign teachers due to lower attendance numbers. Chloe was patient with my because I was a little bit fussy with my location and the kind of academy I was looking to work for. My placement maybe took a bit longer than most. Teaching in Korea is hard and a lot of academies are far from perfect, but I had a lot of trust in Seoul ESL to not partner with schools that would treat their staff badly. I have already spent a year in Korea and I couldn’t recommend it more. I’m sure I’ll come into problems in and outside or work, but the part of the process that couldn’t have been easier and more supported was the job application and arrival

After taking my TELF course in San Francisco, I found Seoul ESL Consulting on the TEFL job posting site. Chloe has been amazing! She made the entire process smooth and easy to understand. Even through the Corona Virus challenges she never missed a beat and knew exactly how to assist me in getting through the red tape. With her help, I was placed in a great school and outstanding neighborhood. Chloe walked me through the entire process from the airport, to transport specifics, and to my quarantine apartment. Working with Chloe through Seoul ESL Consulting was the best and I will be recommending my fellow TEFL classmates.

I was having a very difficult time finding a job during the Covid-19 pandemic, and Chloe Park at SeoulESL was absolutely great. So friendly and helpful. She managed to find a job for me in the area I was looking for and answered all of my questions quickly and clearly. Even under the very odd and stressful circumstances of the pandemic, she clearly laid out everything I had to do to find a position in Korea and get here. The whole process went as smoothly as it could have under the circumstances, and a lot of that is because of the hard work and excellent communication from Chloe. It was a great experience and I will definitely be contacting SeoulESL again if I'm looking for a new position in the future.

I had wonderful experience with ESL Consulting, specifically with Chloe Park. The process of moving abroad to teach English is overwhelming, but even during a global pandemic, I felt at ease and taken care of. I would not be here in Korea if not for Chloe's guidance, clear and quick communication and overall patience.

I cannot recommend ESL Consulting enough! Not only was the service amazing, but I also LOVE the school Chloe helped me land a job at. I've been in Korea for 7 weeks now and have been so happy with my time here thus far. From finding me a great position to helping me all the way through quarantine, ESL Consulting never left me with any doubts or worries. Thank you for all of your help, I appreciate it so much!

Great service and helpful people. I needed to find a job within 30 days, and Chloe was a tremendous help to landing me a job. She responded to emails well, and even went out of her way to suggest jobs that were close to where I was living. She arranged an interview for me, and I was able to sign the contract on the same day. I would highly recommend this service to anyone needing help in the job search process. Very reliable and all around fantastic agency ready to assist non-Koreans residing in South Korea.

ESL Consulting, particularly Sammie Kang, went above and beyond all my expectations. Due to the ongoing global circumstances, it was a longer than expected journey but it has paid off so well. Sammie went out of her way to ensure that my applications were in order and got me in contact with some absolutely incredible top-notch schools to teach at. Let me tell you, that it was not an easy decision; the choices were so appealing! Eventually, I landed on an academy in the very nice and modern city of Bundang, just outside Seoul and I could not be happier.

ESL Consulting also arranged for a driver at the airport to take me straight to my apartment (right after a covid-19 test of course, which is mandated by the Korean government for all new arrivals) and since then, has continually checked in on me to make sure that everything is going well, and it is! I highly recommend ESL Consulting.

SeoulESL was always professional, quick, and helpful when it came to finding me the best teaching job in Seoul. I came across a few issues with covid19-related delays and contract confusion, but Chloe helped guide me through it all. SeoulESL arranged a driver to pick me up at the airport and take me to my apartment, which made me feel way more calm upon arrival. They also sent a package of facial masks to my apartment, which was so thoughtful! I felt, and still feel, that Chloe is always just a call away and I know they will help me if I come across any issues during my time in Seoul. I will always recommending using ESL Consulting!

The service I received from Seoul ESL was top-notch! Without Seoul ESL I would not be in South Korea today! I highly recommend using SeoulESL to find a teaching position. Even during a global pandemic Seoul ESL was able to efficiently and clearly guide me through the recruitment process, visa application, and transport to South Korea. Seoul ESL always communicated in a thorough and efficient manner to ensure that I would be successful in finding a school and applying for my visa. Throughout this process SeoulESL has been by my side. I am extremely grateful!
