Program Reviews

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!

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!!!

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!

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!

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 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

Korean Horizons was extremely helpful and informative throughout the application and interview process straight through to the EPIK orientation. We had a facebook group where updates were posted and the mock interview we had together was a great way to prepare and to get useful feedback! Gathering all the documents was quite stressful but Alistair gave us a lot of help with this which was great.
We were also able to meet other program participants one day prior to the orientation as they provided a hotel stay for the night. Highly recommend Alistair and the services Korean Horizons provide!

At first glance, the EPIK application and process seemed overwhelming and daunting. However, much of the pressure was alleviated from the moment I contacted Alistair. He is professional, supportive, and thorough, providing detailed updates, prompt responses, and frequent check-ins. I appreciate his consistency, dedication, and professionalism in his services. By following all the advice and guidance of Alistair, your chances are very positive. Look no further - Korean Horizons comes recommended!

I was really glad I went with KH - mainly because there was a large group of us who arrived at the same hotel before orientation, and we were able to all meet each other and settle for a day before orientation began. This might not sound like a huge deal - but to me it was incredibly comforting to have met people and spent some time with people before we went to our orientation. Additionally - Alistair had provided us with so much information about orientation, that we knew exactly what to expect. I met others at the orientation who had come independently, and they seemed clueless about the whole process, and were asking us (from KH) lots of questions.
In other areas, Alistair helped me to prepare for my interview, so I knew exactly what to expect. We had a Facebook group with everyone in Korean Horizons, and this was really a lifeline when navigating the paperwork and interview process!

As a new teacher who did not know the Korean language, I did not know what to really expect. I knew I wanted to teach in Korea, so I chose a credible helpful agency like Korean Horizons. Applying through Korean Horizons lifted many concerns I had as a new teacher and teaching abroad. My recruiter, Mr. Wery, has eased my concerns and made the whole process easier. It is not easy going from one country to living in the next, but Mr. Wery made the transition very smooth. I am grateful for choosing Korean Horizons.
