Program Reviews

Korvia did a great job at providing resources to help me prepare my application, paperwork, and stay in Korea. I also felt comforted to know that they carefully looked over my application and paperwork before sending it off to EPIK.

Not only did I receive informative resources, but they also hosted helpful webinars to make sure I was prepared for my interview.

Lastly, they sent me a generous care package while I was in quarantine. Overall, I'm very grateful to Korvia and their staff. Moving to teach in Korea can be very overwhelming and confusing. Thanks to Korvia, I was able to figure it out with people who were friendly and knew what they were doing. I highly recommend Korvia!

Teh team at Korvia was really great in helping me apply for Gepik. I was paired with Jina and she was an amazing recruiter. She helped me work out how to get documents ad answered all my many, many, many questions. The people I was in contact with were very helpful, polite and professional. I was really anxious about going through all the paperwork and getting my documents in order especially because I was still working at my previous job. The team gave me lots of tips on how to get everything done.
Great company overall.

I used Korvia to help me find a job for my second year teaching in Korea. I wanted to be more picky the second time around because my first year wasn't anything like what I imagined. I thought the staff at Korvia would be annoyed that I rejected job opportunities for 3 or 4 weeks before finally accepting an interview, but they did't seem to mind at all. Eventually they found me a dream job at a private school where I would like to stay for the foreseeable future. What more can you ask for?

TLDR: If I ever need to use a recruiter again, Korvia will be my only choice.

For some years I had been considering taking a break in my studies to teach abroad. I finally took the leap this year, all via Korvia Consulting. People often ask me, "Why Korea?" and the truth is because Korvia was recommended to me and when I looked on the website the application process was so easy!

I really liked that I could put in my preferences for age of students, cities/rural places and the like. Thanks to Korvia I got a job close to a rural area and just down the road from a nature reserve. Even better is that I am not in fact teaching English, but rather subjects related to my field of study.

Korvia guides you through the whole process and makes sure you don't arrive stranded at the airport. They even even send you a helpful arrival pdf (covering things from work hierarchy to how to work your underfloor heating!) and links on how to get a cellphone plan.

The only thing I slightly disliked was that I couldn't compare jobs. I could only accept a job, or decline and move on. However, seeing as I struggle to decide between options, maybe this was a good thing!

I would recommend Korvia Consulting to others and would use them again if I wanted to change schools.

This was my first time trying to teach overseas. After attempting on my own I tried Korvia and it was the best decision. First, a big thank you to Thelma for being the most patient and amazing recruiter ever. All of my preferences were tended to, my personality was taken into account, I was provided clear and thorough information in a timely manner for the entire process, and even taken care of after 3 airline cancellations. It really helped that Thelma always checked on me and was available no matter the question. I could not imagine any recruiter providing so much to not only get you a good teaching position, but being sure that everything else is taken care of after arrival. Just give Korvia a try, and see if you are luck enough to get Thelma as your helping hand.

Korvia is by far the best recruiting company focused on Korean placements that I have used (and I’ve used a few).
They were always ready to listen to my questions and concerns and they always kept my preferences at the forefront. Though it took awhile to find a placement, it was the perfect placement. They really care that you’ll be happy in your new position.
I even had a change of recruiter and the person who took me under them really went beyond my expectations to help me.
They respond quickly to emails and are very professional, but also very kind. I’m glad I found Korvia (through a friend) because I don’t think I would have found such a great school and team.
Thanks Korvia!

When researching into teaching English in Korea, I came across many recommendations for Korvia Consulting. As a result, I visited Korvias website and I'm so glad I did. Ever since my first email communication with the team at Korvia, till now (moved into my new place in Gangnam and ready to start school!) they have been incredibly friendly and helpful.
Any questions I had, and am still having, Korvia were able to answer quickly and comprehensively.

I'd have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone seriously considering applying to EPIK and wanting to teach in Korea.

Korvia Consulting is the pinnacle of recruiters for teaching in South Korea. Their recruiting teams are very knowledgable about the process of getting you to Korea and they work with the best Hagwons and school programs. Throughout the entire process, every member I came into contact with had a professional demeanor and an excellent attitude! I personally worked with Thelma and Jessie, who were both essential in finding me the perfect fit as a teacher. I would wake up everyday with 2-3 schools to review and I was contacted by both before each interview. Their response email to each of my questions was fast and always answered the questions and ancillary questions I was going to follow up with. I cannot recommend Korvia enough and if you work with Jessie or Thelma, you are in great hands! 10/10 experience throughout the entire process. I am enterally grateful for the help Korvia consulting gave to me and their relentless effort to help me reach my goals!

I highly recommend Korvia. I was assigned to Niki and she has been amazing throughout the whole process. I was originally very rushed to find a job due to my graduation and Niki helped to move the process along as fast as possible. I can't thank Korvia enough. The school they linked me to is also incredible, and I'm glad that I went through a recruiter to ensure I was arriving at a real place! I'm also impressed with all of the support you receive once you receive your job offer; Korvia will ensure your safe arrival in Korea and give you any information you need regarding bank accounts, phone numbers, ARC's etc. Also, they send you information packs to help you know what to pack and where to buy things you may need, which was a huge help for me.

Korvia is actually the first recruiting company to accept me! I had tried through a different one first and had been rejected. I was a little distraught and unsure if I could reach my goal of teaching abroad. I thought, “Try one more time with someone else!” and Korvia welcomed me with open arms.
My recruiter, Niki, was very kind and professional! Our interview was very informative and she was so patient even with my internet connection issues! I received a very fast response that Korvia would love to help me find a place teaching in Korea.
The process was a long one but Niki helped me every step of the way! She never rushed me and always made sure I understood what was happening.
Even after I’ve arrived she still answers my questions!
