Korvia is fantastic!

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!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve-racking moment was honestly just seeing my family cry at the airport when I left. “Oh man, this is really happening! I’m leaving everything I’ve ever known for at least a year!”

Korvia puts their passion for people front and center

Korvia stood head and shoulders above their competition when I looked at moving to South Korea to teach English.

Because of all the good reviews and positive feedback on their social media, I decided to take the leap of faith and jump into the abyss that is the red tape and organization needed to move to a different country. Korvia has been there every step of the way, constantly staying in contact. They kept presenting job opportunities to me until I had made a decision on which one suited my needs best.

Once I had decided, they set up the job interview for me, and shortly thereafter contacted me to tell me that I had been hired. They could have just left it at that, they had set me up with a Hagwon which is exactly what they set out to do, instead, they stayed by my side and continued to provide the support that I needed, even organizing assistance at Incheon International Airport when I arrived.

To Ann and her team, thank you, you have made the move a smooth and enjoyable transition, which is more than I ever could have hoped for.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Arriving at an Internation Airport where virtually no staff spoke English. Slowly but surely made my way through the airport and various points, until I met up with my Korvia contact who made it much easier from that point on.

I'm so thankful!

Korvia is everything I could ever have wished for in a recruiting agency. I tried another agency and after 6 months and no job opportunities they just stopped contacting me. Discouraged, but not quite ready to give up, I decided to apply to EPIK through Korvia. Korvia was extremely upfront about all the steps ahead of me and everything I would be required to do throughout the process. There was never a moment where I felt lost or abandoned in the process because they are amazing with communication. My own situation was unique because due to a delay in my documents I did not get in to the semester that I applied for. Even so, Korvia stuck with me and let me know what all of my options were and the next semester I was on a plane to Korea. I did the pre-orientation that they set up, met a lot of English teachers like myself and took advantage of the wonderful resources Korvia provided for us. I've been in Korea for a little over a month, I'm enjoying my time teaching English and can hands down say this was all possible thanks to Korvia. I would 100% recommend them!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would prepare all my documents in a timely manner!!

Korvia Korvia Korvia!

Absolutely LOVED Korvia as a service, and so glad I ended up with them at my side. They have been more than helpful throughout this entire process, and I am currently t-minus one week in Korea so far and love my school, the assistance I've received, my apartment, all of it. Forever grateful for Korvia.

I was assisted in obtaining my medical exam, as well as applying for my ARC card (possibly because my city is on the smaller side) which was extremely helpful. I can't imagine getting it done without Korvia's help. I, at first, entertained the idea of "going it alone" and taking on the entire process myself, but one day I came across Korvia as a service and, to be honest, just had a good feeling about them so I reached out and I honestly am so glad that I did. Doing all of this alone would have been too daunting, and I can genuinely reassure you all who are considering taking this leap of faith that Korvia will truly care about you. You won't just be another number. They actually care and are there for you.

What was your funniest moment?
Funny and not funny. I got locked out of my apartment (to only the fault of my own). Korvia was there for me though, luckily! Even as late at night as it was!

Amazing support

I absolutely enjoyed my time with Korvia and still am enjoying it. They keep in touch even after arriving. They were always quick to answer any questions and really do care for us. I had the awesome opportunity to have Grace as my recruiter and absolutely loved it. Her other recruits said the same thing. Grace would respond to emails in a very timely manner. She recognized all her recruits when we met during the Korvia pre-orientation. Korvia made the process of adjusting to Korea so much easier. It’s no surprise that they are the biggest recruiter in Korea. Their work is absolutely unmatched. I am very proud to call myself a Korvia recruit. All of Korvia was so helpful. Further, Jinny was a great help and is very active in group chats. I cannot recommend Korvia enough. Thank you for all the support and I look forward to more opportunities to meet up with the Korvia staff.

What would you improve about this program?
Can’t think of anything right now. My time with them has been absolutely amazing. I’m very grateful to Korvia.

Teaching kindergarten in Shenzhen

My girlfriend and I moved to Shenzhen, China about two months ago to teach in a kindergarten. We originally wanted to live and teach in South Korea, but Jinny from Korvia explained the benefits of moving to China instead, and I must say it's been great. I would highly recommend Korvia and Shenzhen to anyone that wants to teach English in a big city in Asia.
Make sure you have realistic expectations before coming here. Make sure you understand what type of teaching you will be doing (kindergarten, primary/high school, training center) and what hours you will be working, as well as what is expected from you at work. This will help you have a positive experience.

Thanks Jinny and Korvia!

My boyfriend and I originally wanted to teach in Korea, but Jinny from Korvia suggested we apply in China instead. We've been here for about two months and are loving it!
We were lucky enough to meet with some of the Korvia team a few weeks ago when they were in Shenzhen, and had a fantastic time. They're professional, friendly, warm and welcoming.
Would definitely recommend their services for either Korea or China.

Extremely Helpful

My experience with Korvia has be wonderful from day one. They help with everything, they set up your interviews and help with all the paperwork required. They listen to what you are looking for in a school and location and try to help place you where you want to be. Always responded in a timely manner. They always answered any questions I had, and trust me I had a lot. Friendly and professional staff. They helped place me in a great school. It was a great experience. I'm glad I went with Korvia! I would definitely recommend them to people who want to teach in South Korea.

Korvia is Stellar

Korvia Consulting is the best recruiting agency to help you find a fantastic ESL job in both South Korea and China. Korvia helped to make my application and transition process for South Korea much more straightforward and stress-free. I highly recommend using Korvia as your recruiting agency; they will provide you with services that you won't find with any other recruiter. Because of their services, I have transitioned to life in Korea much faster than I had anticipated.
