Program Reviews

As a first time teacher, let alone first time teaching abroad, Korean Horizons made the application process very easy. Knowing that I had a free resource available to me during the application process eased a lot of my worries. They provided me with the information I needed, the documents I had to gather, and provided advice for both the application and interview. They also followed up throughout the whole process to see if I needed help with anything. I truly appreciate the work Korean Horizons do for EPIK applicants.

I am so proud to say that Korean Horizons know what they are doing. The service has been delightful and really came in handy for a person who was going to South Korea for the very first time. Korean Horizons also booked the applicants a place to sleep, which was really not an obligation but it was very helpful. I would recommend anyone to work with them for smooth transition in teaching in Korea. We all need an agency like KH when moving to a foreign country.

I started my application process with Korean Horizons around August and was able to get the job and a desired location for the Spring 2024 application process! Korean Horizons made the process smooth and was very accommodating in our transition to our new jobs! They set us up by laying out the paperwork that we need early so that we can get everything on our own in a reasonable amount of time. A great experience for those looking to teach though EPIK and would like guidance for the launch of a new life in Korea!

Alistair was extremely supportive and helpful! He helps with both the written portion and the interview section. He also helps with documentation as well as providing important information for taxes, sim card, airport etc.

The biggest help for me personally was the interview, I was honestly stumped on a lot of questions but Alistair was a great guide. He also does a practice interview which was made me feel way more prepared.

If you are in any way worried/confused/lost on the application, he is there!

Alistair is a fantastic recruiter and he was so helpful throughout my process of coming to Korea, constantly keeping me informed about the process and ensuring that I had all the necessary documents. I highly recommend his service if you are considering coming to South Korea. I am incredibly appreciative of the easy, flawless experience and strongly advise anyone wishing to take this adventure to contact Alistair Wery and Korean Horizons.

Plus, he booked us into a hotel the day before orientation which was very much needed to ensure we could rest before we went to orientation :)

First and foremost, Alistair knows the when, how and why things need to be done so you better listen and take the advice he gives you otherwise you will see yourself crawling back to me, lol.

He really came through for me cause this journey can be really stressful especially in your documentation process, but Alistair is sensitive and never disregards the way one feels.

And the service is there for you until you eventually decided to bounce!!
I will highly recommend KH 🥳

I highly recommend Korean Horizons. Using Korean Horizons for my job placement in South Korea was a fantastic experience! Their professionalism and dedication ensured a smooth transition, from initial application to settling in. Alistair's guidance was exceptional, he provided me with lots of information. Highly recommend for a seamless experience. The team's support and guidance throughout the process were invaluable. I highly recommend Korean Horizons for anyone seeking opportunities in South Korea.

I applied for the EPIK Spring (2024) intake. Alistair was hands on and kept me updated and ahead in the application process. He went out of his way to ensure that I submitted the best application that I could and ensured that I understood the expectations and timelines involved in the process. Alistair went out of his way to proof read my application, audit my documents and notify me of any changes or upcoming deadlines, ensuring that I could remedy any issues prior to review by the EPIK program. Alistair provided excellent feedback and guidance for my lesson plan, mock interview and application essays. The above cannot fully describe the dedication and commitment that he provides applicants. If something went wrong, he would reach out and reassure me that any hiccups could be resolved... Not to mention that his response times were fast! I am certain that without his support this process would not have been as seamless and I am truly grateful for the commitment and dedication that he displayed towards me.

Working with Korean Horizons has been an absolute pleasure! From the moment I reached out, Alistair was incredibly responsive and attentive to everything. Alistair's professionalism and dedication to making sure I was on the right track to getting a job in South Korea are what sets Korean Horizons apart from any other agency out there. I'd highly recommend KH to anyone and everyone! For those serious about seeking an opportunity to work abroad, KH is the way to go! You will not regret having KH as your agency and will feel supported throughout the whole journey. It will be stressful, but as long as you communicate everything with your recruiter, you'll be guaranteed success.

Korean Horizons was such a great choice for me.

Alistair was so so supportive throughout the process and kept checking in to make sure everything was on track. And even checking in after we got placed. I appreciated how everything for our first night in Korea was already sorted, from the transport from the airport to the hotel stay.

If I were to do it all again, I'd still pick Korean Horizon.

Once again, huge shout out to Alistair for being so consistent and so reliable for the past few months to ensure we get into the EPIK program.
