Program Reviews

I decided to apply to teach English in South Korea through Korea’s EPIK program, and applied through the agency RVF International. I am very thankful that I used them to apply, and without them I would not have felt as confident or adept throughout the process. My mentor, Harrison Fowler, was very encouraging throughout the process, prompt in his responses to any questions I had, and in his ability to set me up for the next application phases/steps by proactively meeting with me and sending me informative documents and examples of how to do certain application necessities. It was so helpful to have him throughout the process. I definitely recommend applying through RVF.

I’ve found the Master’s in Bilingual Education at Nebrija to be a rigorous and intellectually engaging program. Several professors stand out for their clarity, strong grounding in theory, and practical classroom applicability, particularly in CLIL methodology and active learning approaches.

The program requires a high level of autonomy and time management, especially for students who are also working. For those combining teaching responsibilities with full-time study, it is important to be prepared for an intensive schedule. However, the academic depth and exposure to bilingual methodology provide meaningful professional growth.

One of the strongest aspects of the program is its emphasis on connecting theory to real classroom contexts. When students actively engage with the material and apply it in their teaching practice, the learning becomes especially valuable.

Overall, the program offers solid academic preparation for educators seeking to deepen their understanding of bilingual education within a European framework. RVF also provided great guidance throughout the application process. Thanks!

My experience studying in the Master’s program in International Relations at Nebrija University in Madrid has been extremely positive and rewarding. The program offers a well-structured curriculum that combines strong theoretical foundations with practical perspectives on global politics, diplomacy, and international cooperation. Courses address contemporary international challenges and encourage critical thinking, which makes the academic experience both engaging and relevant.

One of the aspects I value most about Nebrija University is the quality of the faculty. Many professors bring not only academic expertise but also professional experience in diplomacy, policy, and international organizations. This connection between theory and real-world practice makes classroom discussions dynamic and insightful, and it helps students better understand how international relations operate in practice.

The international environment of the program has also been a major highlight. Studying alongside classmates from different countries and academic backgrounds creates a truly global learning atmosphere. The diversity of perspectives enriches discussions and helps develop a deeper understanding of international issues from multiple viewpoints.

In addition, studying in Madrid adds another dimension to the experience. The city is an important political and cultural hub, and being here provides opportunities to attend events, conferences, and discussions related to international affairs.

I’m very grateful that I had guidance from RVF during the application process, as their support helped me navigate the requirements and ultimately join a program that has proven to be both academically challenging and personally enriching. I would recommend Nebrija University to anyone interested in pursuing advanced studies in international relations in a dynamic and international environment.

Moving to Madrid right after graduating college was honestly one of the biggest decisions I’ve ever made, and I’m so glad I went through with it. I wanted something different after finishing school, a new routine, a new place, and a chance to push myself a little. Madrid has ended up being the perfect fit.

What helped the most was having support throughout the whole process. Figuring out visas, paperwork, and the million tiny things that come with moving abroad can be overwhelming, but having people guide me through it made everything so much easier. It let me actually enjoy getting ready for the move instead of stressing every day.

Once I arrived, things really fell into place. My school has been amazing. The teachers are welcoming, the kids are cute and funny, and every day feels different in the best way. Outside of school, I’ve loved getting to know the city, walking, museums, cafés, exploring different neighborhoods, weekend trips… It’s all become part of a routine that I’ve grown to really love.

Of course, it hasn’t been perfect. I definitely had moments of homesickness and some days where everything felt new and confusing. But those moments passed, and I feel like I’m better for having gone through them.

If anyone’s thinking about doing something like this, I’d say go for it. It’s scary at first, but the experience, the people you meet, and the personal growth make it completely worth it. This year has been a really special one for me, and I’m grateful I took the leap.

I’d always imagined myself living in another country, and RVF made that long-time dream a reality. While the idea of moving abroad sounds exciting, the journey to get there is anything but glamorous. The amount of paperwork and research involved can be overwhelming, and trying to navigate Spanish laws on my own felt impossible. After joining RVF, everything changed—the entire process became smooth and stress-free. They handled every step with such clarity and support, and I can confidently say I wouldn’t have made it to Spain without their help!

Living abroad in Madrid and teaching at a primar through RVF International has been a great experience. They made the whole process seamless and were always there to help—especially with things like my TIE appointment. Thanks to their support, settling into life and work in Spain has been smooth and stress-free.They are always an email or zoom appointment away and has given this over thinker some much needed peace of mind. Also the large group chat allows you to connect to so many other people doing the program and some of them have turned into such great friends. Im excited for what Spain will bring.

My experience in Spain has been truly unforgettable. After completing my undergraduate degree, I found myself looking for a change of pace. Spain has always had a special place in my heart, and there was no better time than the present to return to the country I had studied abroad in. This program made it incredible easy to tackle the daunting process that is moving countries and dealing with a bureaucracy in a foreign language. Having a team of professionals in my corner truly took a load of stress off my shoulders and allowed me to dedicate more time into exploring the new town I lived in on the Mediterranean coast.

We only live once, and my recommendation is to live the live you are given to the fullest. There is so much out there to discover in the world, and in the process you will discover so much more about yourself.

Participating in the RVF International teaching program was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the very beginning, the RVF team was incredibly helpful, organized, and supportive, guiding me through every step of the process. I was placed in beautiful Granada, Spain, and my experience there exceeded all expectations. I not only improved my teaching skills but also immersed myself in Spanish culture, made lifelong friends, and became part of a wonderful community. Living and teaching abroad with RVF truly changed my life, and I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure!

I feel like my decision to move here has been amazing! I was very nervous at first because I did not know what to do or even where to look for resources. Because of the help of RVF International I felt empowered because I had all the steps I needed in order to move to Spain! Since coming I have met such amazing people and was assigned to an amazing school with great staff and amazing kids! I think this has been such a great experience and I am so glad I made the decision to move abroad to teach!

RVF International has been amazing every step of the way! From the moment I started the process of moving to Spain, they’ve provided clear, detailed guidance through every stage — from the visa paperwork and document preparation to coordinating with Spain’s Ministry of Education for school placement.

What really sets RVF apart is their continued support after you arrive in Spain. They don’t just drop you once you get here — they stay in touch, answer questions quickly, and genuinely care that you’re adjusting well. Whether it’s help with Spanish bureaucracy, housing, or day-to-day life, they’ve been there with prompt, friendly, and reliable help.

Their communication is consistent, professional, and personal. You can tell the team truly understands what it’s like to move abroad and wants you to succeed. I’ve felt supported, informed, and confident throughout the entire process.

If you’re thinking about teaching or living in Spain, I highly recommend RVF International — they make what could be a stressful process feel smooth, organized, and even exciting!
