Best Recruiter

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Alistair from Korean Horizon during my journey to secure a teaching contract through the EPIK program, and I can't emphasize enough how much his dedication and support meant to me. From the very beginning, Alistair was not just a recruiter – he was a true partner in this process, going above and beyond to make sure I was well-prepared, informed, and confident every step of the way.

His expertise and commitment were evident in every interaction we had. He took the time to thoroughly understand my goals, answered all my questions with patience, and provided detailed guidance throughout the entire application process. Even when challenges arose, Alistair was always there with thoughtful advice and practical solutions, ensuring that I never felt lost or alone.

What truly sets Alistair apart is his genuine passion for his work and his sincere desire to help candidates like myself succeed. His efforts not only helped me secure my contract, but they also made the entire experience much more enjoyable and less stressful. He has a remarkable ability to lift the profile of Korean Horizon and ensure that the candidates he works with are set up for success.

I can wholeheartedly say that without Alistair's unwavering dedication, I wouldn't be where I am today. His support has made this process not only successful but also incredibly rewarding. If you're considering working with Alistair or Korean Horizon, rest assured you are in the best hands. I’m proud to be one of his teachers and look forward to making him proud in return.

Thank you, Alistair, for everything you’ve done for me – your kindness, professionalism, and genuine care have made all the difference!

I highly, I highly recommend Korean Horizon!

My Korean Horizons Experience

I am so glad I decided to apply for EPIK via Korean Horizon. They made this entire process easy and less stressful. Moving to a whole new country can be quite stressful but working with Korean Horizons made it so much better. Working with Alistair has been amazing he literally helps you prepare for absolutely everything. Even upon arriving in South Korea, a bus was ready to pick us up and take us to a hotel (bus+hotel were covered by KH). I got to rest for the night before taking the bus back to the airport the following morning for the EPIK registrations.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Listen to all the advice Alistair gives you especially when preparing for the interview, and when getting all your documents ready.
Pros
  • Book you a hotel when you arrive
  • Hekp you prepare for the interview
  • Help you get all your dooocuments ready

The BEST decision!!

I recently completed my orientation with EPIK and have started my new job in Korea, and I feel VERY fortunate and blessed to be here. Korean Horizons was and continues to be such a HUGE help, and I really appreciate the dedication and hard work of Alistair. His support was invaluable and he was always diligent about following up and making sure I had everything that I needed, and that all my questions were answered. GREAT support! If you're interested in teaching in Korea, KH will get you there!

Worth the Wait!

As a recent college graduate, I knew that I wanted to teach. However, I never considered that teaching abroad would become my reality. The process of applying for teaching positions, navigating the visa process, booking my flight are overwhelming enough. Therefore, I am thankful for all the support of Korean Horizons, in not only taking control over some of the process - but for also taking the time to answer my questions and concerns. While the process does take time, it is definitely worth the wait!

Korean Horizon - Great experience

If you are considering to travel abroad. Specifically South Korea, you can consider applying through Korean Horizon. They assist you from the beginning til the end. The process of applying abroad can be daunting and confusing but Alistair made it a lot easier! His constant guidance and kindness helped me. He prepared a mock interview just before I could attend the official Epik interview. Gave me constructive feedback, and ensured I was fully ready for the interview.

Not only does he help with this but he also makes life easier when you travel to Korea. He books a hotel for you right before the Epik orientation so that you are not stranded at the airport. Offers financial help ( although you'll pay back after your first salary) . I am so grateful for Korean Horizon and all the help you have given me. Thank you Alistair!!!

ABSOLUTELY worth it!

What an experience! The journey of collecting documents and getting accepted is long but well worth it and what makes it easier is undoubtedly Korean Horizons. I literally couldn't have done it with this program. Excellent communication throughout the process and you receive really helpful tips and advice along the way! The transition from leaving home, miles away, to arriving at orientation was made seamless through Korean Horizons and that's just the honest truth. I would highly recommend them!

Best Decision I've Made

Applying through Korean Horizons was truly one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was a teacher in the US for 4 years before deciding to try something new and teach abroad, and have now been teaching in Seoul for 6 months. From the moment I reached out to Korean Horizons, Alistair was helping me and available to support every step of the way. He had answers to all of my questions, practiced for the interview with me, and gave me honest answers and advice for any concerns that I had. Korean Horizons not only has so much information to help you prepare to begin your journey teaching in South Korea, but having the support and guidance for the application process was truly a life saver. I never felt alone, scared, or confused throughout the long application process, and even felt supported after I arrived with the hotel accommodations and transportation. I felt completely prepared for my interview and was able to get all my documents together thanks to Alistair's help. If you want a life changing experience with a positive support system, definitely apply!! It will be your best decision too! I can guarantee you will be in good hands with Korean Horizons!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Be prepared to be thrown into uncomfortable or unfamiliar situations but face them with an open mind. This is natural when moving to a completely different country! Korean culture is very supportive and community based, so while you may encounter situations that feel frustrating or unfamiliar, know that you will learn and grow from the people you are surrounded by.
Pros
  • Amazing cultural experience and opportunities
  • Loving and excited students
  • Endless opportunities to try new things and meet new people
Cons
  • The language barrier can be difficult at times
  • Being far from home and family can cause some homesickness at times!

Highly recommend!

If you are considering teaching in Korea, I highly recommend you use Korean Horizon's services to do so. Alistair was very helpful and efficient during the entire process. He was in constant communication with me and the other parties involved in the process.

The amount of time and effort that Korean Horizon places in each applicant is phenomenal. I am deeply appreciative of them for making it possible for me to be here today!

I would highly recommend using Korean Horizons to anyone interested in this exciting journey to South Korea.

my experience with korean horizon

My experience altogether was a great one I would not trade it for anything else. The fact that I had a place to sleep the night I landed and was picked from the airport made everything else way way more easier for me. The information I got about certain things that were going to required when landed made it even better because I avoided most of the paperwork since I did everything online while at home. The only thing that I had to focus on was the orientation. In general everything for me was extremely easy and straight forward for me because of the information provided to me by Alistair

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Not being prepared for the weather in terms of clothes.
