Program Reviews

After job hunting for over two months with no luck from a larger recruiting company, I desperately joined Seoul ESL in hopes of finding a non-hagwon school in Seoul. Seoul ESL came to my rescue, getting me an interview with my current school that I ended up signing a contract with, which I love! There were so many bumps in the road, but Minsu is patient and professional. He is supportive, insightful and gets back to you FAST with any questions you might have. So lucky to have Seoul ESL on my side!

I contacted Minsu, a recruiter for ESL consulting, rather last minute for a position. Even so, he was able to secure an interview for me with a Private Elementary School with fantastic hours, vacation, and workload. I requested specific wants out of a job and he didn't waste my time by sending me adds that didn't match what I requested. I was also able to receive assistance with a tricky visa situation I was going through. He kept me up to date on communication with my new employer. I highly recommend this recruiting agency.

Minsu, from the start of applying to teach in South Korea has been so so helpful with the whole process! As it’s quite scary, in terms of applying to a different country, Minsu made me feel comfortable gave advice when needed and answered any questions that I was unsure about!
He catered to what I wanted from an ideal school and gave me plenty of options to choose from! Now I am off to teach English and I can’t wait to start my journey!
As a fellow vegetarian, he also made sure I had a veggie meal during my flight
Thankyou Minsu!

My experience here in Korea has been great so far! Everyone I work with has been extremely welcoming and the kids are wonderful! If I have any questions Yuri Kim is quick to respond and always has an answer. My experience with SeoulESL has exceeded my expectations. When I reached out to the program, we explored my preferences and the the school's she provided where exactly what I was looking for. I then received help on preparing for my interviews and when I received a placement she continued to assist me. Thank you for all your help so far and i look forward to continuing to work with you!

The recruiter named Yuri has been so helpful throughout the whole process and i love that i went through this company to teach in korea. I will definitely recommend this program to other people who want to travel abroad or teach. There is nothing negative that I have found with this program. I am enjoying my time as the school i went with is close to a lot of facilities and the teachers are also very helpful. If someone is looking to travel and just try something different with their life i would definitely recommend this program.

I am so happy I came across SeoulESL and I would definitely recommend working with them to anyone thinking about teaching English in South Korea. Minsu was the Recruiting Consultant I was lucky to work with. He was extremely helpful and beyond supportive throughout the process, and genuinely committed to helping me achieve my teaching goals. Shortly after submitting my application and having the opportunity to speak with Minsu over Skype I was set up with an interview and got a teaching position that fit my needs and timeline. I was so amazed by the efficiency, timeliness, and incredible support I received through every step of the way. I do not think I would have had such a stress-free, smooth, and incredibly positive experience if it wasn’t for the help of Minsu. I cannot say thank you enough for everything he has done for me!

Hello there. My name is Noko. I’m currently teaching English in South Korea and I’m loving every bit of it. However, this wouldn’t be possible without the help of my amazing recruiter, Yuri Kim (from ESL Consulting- SeoulESL). She helped me get here whilst making the entire process easy and hassle-free for me. She really is the best in the business. Her patience and assistance are impeccable. Yuri helped me find the best school that I was comfortable with and communicated every single detail with me throughout the entire process. She guided me every step of the way and always made sure that I understood everything. She’s extremely helpful and has great people skills. I highly recommend her. She’s the best!

SeoulESL has been the extremely helpful with my journey to teaching English in Korea. I originally was working with another recruiting company that was said to be popular, but I was struggling a lot getting clear information and quick responses. I eventually gave up and that’s when I found out about SeoulESL.
SeoulESL has done a great job at giving me the information I needed in a timely manner as well as providing a lot of help through the long process to Korea. It only took a little over a week before I found the job I was looking for and quickly I was granted an interview. Under 3 weeks I had a new job and goal to gain my visa over the next few months before I left. My recruiter Minsu had been amazing, helping me with all my questions no matter how little or random they may have been. He was always responding within a fast time range. He was quick to ask my employer about any questions I had. I would highly recommend SeoulESL because they go above and beyond to help you reach your goals.

I worked with Chloe, and she was incredibly helpful and responsive during every step of the process. She took my preferences into consideration and found me multiple great job opportunities in exactly the location I wanted to be in with a competitive salary and work schedule. Chloe told me exactly what I needed to do and when during every step of the application, interview, and visa application prices, even giving me questions I should ask in my interviews. She supported me from the first time I emailed her until I stepped off of the plane where she sent a driver to pick me up from the airport. Everything went quickly and smoothly and I am incredibly grateful that I was paired with Chloe. Extremely positive experience!

I have been teaching in Korea for the past year. It is an experience both culturally and professionally that has encouraged me to grow in unexpected ways. When I decided to accept an unexpected position offer I had little time to study the language. I moved to Korea having never been to Asia. Upon arrival I was dizzied with this foreign yet familiar culture. Teaching New York City fosters both a sensitivity to cultural differences and a desensitizing, as there are many similar faucets. I can now read, write, and speak a new language ( still emerging), and though I boldly moved to Asia with a soy allergy, I have survived and learned to cook many Korean dishes so that I can enjoy without the soy. I now feel more comfortable wearing sandals with socks rather that exposing bare feet !
Professionally I have the privilege to work with principals, teachers and students form schools all over my province. This has allowed me to collaborate with an array of teaching styles helping me gain insights to the teaching and learning culture in Korea and sharing the current pedagogy practiced in the United States and Europe where I have taught.
I was offered a second contract and will be spending another year in Korea making memories with my students, practicing a new language, developing professionally and avoiding soy !
When I began working with ESL Consulting - Seoul ESL fourteen months ago, I did not imaging the opportunity that awaited me. They made the entire process from start to finish effortless. Meticulously reviewing my documents to ensure there would be no issues in the hiring and visa process. Leaving me in a new world with a sense of confidence and a feeling of ongoing support.
