Program Reviews

I had an amazing experience with Korvia! I was already in Korea when I needed a job urgently. Every staff member from Korvia worked until after hours to find me my dream job within two weeks. Everything went by smoothly and quickly.
I appreciate every Korvia member's time and concern for me because now I'm at a school where I am happy. It's been an amazing experience that I will probably re-sign with this school. I recommend this company because they help everyone as much as they can and work hard to find us the perfect job!

The recruiting team at Korvia Consulting has been very professional. I had the pleasure of meeting them before my job started and they were all very kind and helpful. My recruiter was extremely helpful throughout the whole job seeking process. I teach at a school in the countryside in Gyeonggido and it has been a pleasant experience so far. I highly recommend Korvia Consulting.

Last year, I was working in Korea and looking for a different job. Through a series of fortunate events, I was able to meet Jessie. At that time, I found out she was a recruiter for Korvia. Eventually, I decided to give Korvia a try.

I'm so glad I did.

Jessie was kind, friendly, and knowledgable from day 1. She was very forthcoming with information, and very receptive to my location preferences. I was fortunate enough to get a job thanks to the efforts of Jessie and others at Korvia. After I got this job, Korvia reached out to check in, which I appreciate. They also hold events for Korvia recruits.

I've since directed several of my friends to Korvia. I've been very pleased with my experience with this agency.

My experience with Korvia has been nothing but pleasant. I had almost given up hope to continue teaching in Korea. During the process of finding a placement, I sent out countless applications and emails to recruiters seeking English teachers, but was the response was not only slow but the positions offered were lacking and not what I was looking for, or there was just no response which was really frustrating. Fortunately, I came across Korvia while searching online and after working with them I realized that I had found the best and most efficient recruiting agency in Korea.

After sending them an email, I was soon put into contact with warm and friendly recruiter who instantly made me feel welcomed and valued me as a possible candidate to teach as an English teacher in Korea. The interview process was the most pleasant experience I've had finding a job! I couldn't have asked for a better person than Jessie. i could feel her enthusiasm and care in finding a suitable school for me and I am most grateful and cannot thank her enough for her help.

I now live in Uijeongbu, Gyeonngi-do at an Elementary public school. I love my job as an English teacher and working at my current school. I believe Korvia dedicates their time and puts their utmost effort in providing teachers great workplaces and I really recommend other teachers out there to put their trust in Korvia's service and just be ready for the best teaching experience and a great chance to live and fall in love with Korean culture.

I've always wanted to try working abroad. The combination of cultivating my professional life while going on an adventure was an idea that I could not pass up.

I found Korvia Consulting through a connection that I had. The Korvia staff was very kind and tried their best to find the best time for my initial interview with them. When a time as established, they made sure I understood the time and date of the interview due to time zone differences.

During the interview, I was greeted by my soon to be recruiter. She was very kind, positive, and helpful during the whole process. I felt no pressure whatsoever and actually enjoyed the interview process.

After being accepted by Korvia Consulting, my recruiter was AMAZINGLY helpful. All of my questions were answered within 24 hours and she even checked up on me every now and then to make sure my GOE application process was going well. I remember an incident where my recuiter thought I had an interview in a few hours, so she personally called me because she thought I didn't know about it. I actually rescheduled it beforehand with Ciena. However, I really appreciated my recuiters concern!

Even after moving to Korea, I still hear from my recuiter from time to time. She even helped be understand the bus system!

I have nothing but good things to say about Korvia Consulting and hope others will work with them as well. The recruiters really care and are extremely nice people. You will not regret working with them!

I love working with Korvia, and I couldn't imagine doing it without them. They truly are the best when it comes to seeking great teaching opportunities in Korea. Everything from the webinars, the EPIK pre-interview, timeline prep and Korvia social parties has helped my transition to Korea so much smoother than expected!

My recruiter Daisy was always on hand to help me with any difficult questions I had. I was actually waitlisted by EPIK because of a document taking longer to mail out then expected - but Daisy didn't lose hope in making something happen. She worked with me to figure out other options and finally were able to find me a placement here.

I'm so grateful for the phenomenal Korvia team. Without their lovely support and hard-work, I wouldn't be here enjoying a new chapter in my life. If you're thinking of coming to Korea, please do yourself a favor and work with this lovely team of champions!

It may sound cheesy to say so but I have been so pleased with my experience working with Korvia that I cannot imagine working with any other agency. In fact, I never even felt the need to look elsewhere. From the beginning, my application process was smooth and looked after with great care. Ann, my recruiter and one of the directors at Korvia, was professional, caring, diligent, and worked with me to find a position that met my personal preferences as well. When I was suddenly sick right before I was supposed to move to Korea, Ann worked with my school and helped make the altered shift be as smooth as possible. As I've continued to work in the GEPIK program here in Korea over the years, Ann has continued to work with me in finding new positions and has remained patient despite how particular and stubborn I can sometimes be. I have also had the opportunity to work with a few of her team members and have found them to be just as helpful and bright. Because of all of this, I ended up recommending many friends from the states to work with Korvia and they have come to Korea and also had great experiences with the team as well! After three jobs through Korvia, three referenced friends, and over three years of satisfaction, I simply can't recommend Korvia enough.

Korvia is the best recruiting agency in Korea. There are no agencies I've seen that are even in the same league as them.

I've been working in ESL for the last eight years. I've taught in Korea multiple times. Even back in the United States, I would still apply to jobs abroad just to see what was out there. I worked with recruiters, applied to schools directly, even applied through the almighty EPIK and SMOE.

In all that time, I had never had an experience I would even call satisfactory. Then I got into contact with Korvia and I was blown away. I didn't know a recruiting agency of this quality even existed.

Here are some of the reasons why they are great:

- They have connections to jobs I didn't even know existed. I applied during the off-season for public school hiring, so I thought I'd be going hagwon for sure. Not only did Korvia hook me up with a public school (which I didn't know was possible during off-season), they actually had a ton of schools available. I couldn't even keep up with how many available public school positions they were throwing at me. I have never seen an agency have anything close to this kind of opportunity.

- Korean staff that all speak English extremely well. Not only do they speak English well academically, they speak well culturally too. They're direct and clear, which is a relief for anyone who has spent time working in Korea. Also, they're friendly and understanding.

- They reply quickly and do a great job of keeping you up to date on what's happening.

- They offer support even after you arrive. On my first day at my school in Korea, there was a gift bag of pencils and information waiting for me at my desk. They offer parties with Korvia teachers for us to make friends. They ask, confidentially, if everything is going well with the school and the transition to Korea.

After years of experience, I can confidently say that you will not find a better agency with Korvia. If you're even thinking about teaching in Korea, send them a message and see what's available.

I came to Korea in 2011, and I've been with Korvia from day 1. I heard about Korvia from a friend who was already here teaching. The four years that I have been with Korvia, it has grown into this huge, wonderful, supporting agency to hundreds if not thousands of applicants. In 2011, I felt Korvia was still a small agency. My recruiter then, Jean, was able to get to my questions right away. Now,during application peak times, it takes a day or two but Korvia is still on top of things. I promise.
Korvia is doing something right to grow so fast and be among the very few agencies EPIK and GEPIK partner with.
I believe Korvia grew because their service is beyond a doubt EXCELLENCE. This is possible because of their hardworking recruiters.Thank you Korvians!
I promise you will not regret choosing Korvia. I have recommended Korvia to so many people and will continue to do so. They will be there for you from the initial process until you leave Korea.

My experiences with Korvia have been nothing but amazing so far.

I had other friends that came through Korvia before I arrived and, they spoke of nothing but great things from their recruiters and experiences. So, I knew I had to go through Korvia myself when I chose to stay for a second year. It was definitely a great decision.

The entire application process was clear and always well explained. Whenever I did have a question, my recruiter, Ciena, would always answer my questions in a quick and timely manner. She was nothing but helpful and I felt genuinely cared for under her guidance. She never hesitated to look for my best options and she always made sure to check in with me from time to time, just to make sure things were progressing well.

The job that I have now is wonderful and I'm very happy with my area, school, students, and community. I don't think there's anything I would change about my current position at all.

Korvia is a very respectable organization. I always recommend them to anyone when they ask me about what recruiting company they should use. I never even hesitate to say their name, they've done so much for me and I know they are more than capable of doing the same for many others.

All in all, I am more than pleased with my experiences with Korvia.

Keep up the awesome work!!!
