Hey, Brad, Greetings from Daegu! It's been one month so far and I absolutely love my job. The management staff here is awesome and they're incredibly friendly. Even the schools that I work at are fun and the kids are so damn cute. Thank you so much for helping me land this gig. Sorry this is so short, but I have to do a little lesson planning before meeting my friend's downtown for a few drinks. I'll definitely keep in touch, and I'll definitely recommend your company to anyone I meet who's interested in coming over here. It's an adventure I know that I'll never forget.

Thanks again,
Sean Hinojosa, Daegu

P.S. - I've attached a pic of me and my advanced class from my Elementary public school. The girls were a little camera shy, as most 6th grade girls are, but I managed to get most of them. Lol.

Hey Brad,

Things are pretty good here and I think I've finally settled in. From what I understand, after talking to many teachers in the area, I realized that you placed me in a really good school. The teachers here are all cool and supportive. The kids...they're a handful at times but are pretty enjoyable overall. I've included a picture of me and my class on a field trip for your website. I'm going to Cambodia at the end of July after my contract finishes. When are you coming to back to Korea from your vacation? I'd like to grab a beer with you when you get back.

I sent Brad an email in response to a posting for a job in Korea and he responded right away. We scheduled a call right away and he focused on my needs and priorities for a position. During that first call he connected me right away to a hagwon owner and we conducted the interview immediately. Throughout the whole process of arriving to Korea he was always quick to reply and answer emails. He connected to unique academy where I've been challenged and have already learned so much. I recommend using this program!

I couldn’t be happier with how my experience with teaching English in Korea has been. I’ve received so much support and assistance with setting up and settling into my new life. South Korea is beautiful and full of so many friendly people, and amazing experiences.

I love the location I have been placed in, my campus is so friendly and the children are so bright and full of desire to learn. I honestly cannot recommend the experience and opportunity enough!

Bradley has been so helpful and supportive, it was what made this such an easy decision!

It's really important to have support when making such a drastic shift in your life, and Bradley helped so much in the process. He responded promptly to questions that arose and helped guide me through the interview process. It's essential to state what it is you're looking for, and if you don't know, Bradley can help you sort through options. The paperwork and visa process can feel overwhelming, but you'll have the guidance and support you need. Bradley is really available to help all the way until the end!

This is going to be my 2nd year living in South Korea as an ESL instructor and it's been pretty good so far. Coming from a professional background in Data to teaching English to young children has been an interesting experience. I've never worked with children, but they grow on you. ^^

With the help from TEIK, the transition was pretty smooth and helpful. Brad has been pretty dope in helping me feel secure with the school selections and was always there to give advice about job related issues as well as non job related issues.

Bradley Brennan was great to work with. His availability for communication was very convenient even with the hours of time zones between us. He was very quick to find quality pay and benefits upon a moment’s notice! His patience and sincerity was greatly appreciated especially during the stressful process of moving to an entirely new country. I had the opportunity to interview for over a dozen jobs in and around the highly competitive Seoul foreign teaching market due to Brad’s efforts. I’m to grateful to have worked with Brad and TEIK!

I started in Spring 2023 at a well known chain hagwon in Incheon. While initially the process was stressful, Bradley and Yumi were helpful and answered all of my questions and made the recruitment process very smooth. I brought my cat with me to Korea and they were very supportive. I've been here for almost 2 months now and it's been easy to become friends with my co teachers and settle in. This is my second time staying in Korea and I have been enjoying it just as much as the first time. Thank you!

Brennan and Yumi are super nice and very supportive. They are with you every step of the way. If you are confused about something, Brennan is super patient with you. It's a long and confusing process to get to Korea but he is do patient and knowledgeable. Definitely glad I had his help, because he made the transition easier! It's always super stressful to move abroad to another country but having the support means a lot. Also you can make some friends that are going to the same places with you so that's always super helpful too.

Definitely one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life. I probably wouldn’t have made it without the help of my coworkers. There are so many rewarding things about teaching in Korea: it placed me in a position of responsible leadership, it has forced me to learn to communicate better, it has helped me learn another culture, and made me relate to and rely on people who come from many different walks of life. I worked as an industrial mechanic in different factories previously. I always wanted to teach, so before I got too deep into mechanical work, I wanted to try teaching. Korea has proved to be a great opportunity and a good investment for my own personal growth by way of a serious challenge. Doing this is a challenging thing that most people with my background don’t do. It makes me stand out as a professional as someone who is in afraid to try things, and also has rounded me out as a person by exposing me to some different social and professional environments.
