Program Reviews

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 the BEST recruiting company out there. Not only is it free, but they help you throughout the whole process and even after your placement. They’ll help you set up your bank account and sim card and they’re always willing to help with bumps in the road! The Korvia staff is so informative and always keep you up to date on everything they can. They’ll calm your nerves through a very long process. If you’re looking for reliable, safe support, Korvia is the way to go!

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.

This is my second year teaching English in South Korea and honestly Korvia is the best recruiter out of all the other recruiters I've used. Korvia went above and beyond my expectations.

My first year working in South Korea wasn't the best experience. When I applied to my first recruiter, they wanted to interview me right away and I also got the job right away. However after getting all my paperwork done, they basically ghosted me. After arriving in South Korea, I was expected to find my way to a hotel in Gangnam from Incheon Airport and all they wrote in the email was to find a black taxi to take me there. This was my first time in South Korea and I had no idea what to do or where to go! After ending my first year, I emailed the recruiter TWICE (one in Jan 2017 and another in June 2017) and asked for another position but they never responded to me both times.

But luckily I did NOT have this problem with Korvia. They were very professional throughout the entire recruiting process. They emailed me possible schools that fit my preferences and always emailed me back if an interview was successful or unsuccessful and why it was so. When I arrived back in Korea for my second year (I went back home for a year), Korvia very kindly arranged an airport pickup service despite my flight landing at 3am KST. It was definitely very helpful to have someone pick me up instead of lugging two big suitcases around looking for a way to get to my hotel.

Overall, I definitely recommend Korvia. I've had another recruiter put in their profile that I'm Korean-American even though I specifically stated that I am Vietnamese-American and had a directly rudely ask me in an interview why my parents never taught me Korean. Trust me. Korvia is doing something right and I would definitely use them again should I decide to stay another year in South Korea.
