Program Reviews

I had been wanting to teach overseas for a few years now but I wasn’t sure how to get started with it. After I took my TEFL course, I ended up applying to teach English in Korea through Korean Horizons. I am really glad I made that decision! Alistair has been extremely helpful in the whole process—from double checking my application and documents, to providing a lot of guidance for the interview and preparation to go to Korea. Even as I am here now in Korea, he is available for advice and support. I highly recommend Korean Horizons!

I applied on my own to EPIK the first time and didn't even get an interview. On my second try, I used Korean Horizons and had so much guidance and support from Alistair Wery from Day 1. Like others, I really don't think I would have been able to make it without his advice and help in preparing for my application and interview. However, Alistair's help did not end after my acceptance into EPIK. Alistair continues to reach out and check in on me, as well as offer a delivery service while I wait for my bank account and ARC to be set up. All of this is so comforting and helpful when you've just moved to another country. :) Furthermore, one thing I really liked about working with Korean Horizons was that even if you did not get accepted into EPIK, Alistair still shared public schools you could directly apply to. It was nice to know that if I did not make it into EPIK, I still had some backup options thanks to Korean Horizons! I have a few friends who are considering applying to EPIK in the future and with all of them, I have told them again and again to apply through Korean Horizons! Thank you Alistair!

As a first timer doing this i cannot stress how much Alistair and Korean Horizons has helped me in this journey!! I dont know if i would have even made it this far without Alistair's help!! He was very helpful with everything i needed!! I am able to live my dream thanks to this program!!! I highly reccomend especially going through KH!! Alistair is always quick to respond and help when you need it!!! Whenever i had doubts about anything i was always reassured and redirected to solve the problem! Thank you!!!!

I am really glad that I selected Korean Horizons to assist with my EPIK application. Alistair was really helpful and thorough in his guidance, always showing that he's a very knowledgeable recruiter. Importantly, Alistair was really responsive to emails throughout the application process which I really appreciated. He answered many questions and I am grateful for that. Alistair is clearly very organised, which is important when organising the deadlines and documents involved in the application process. I am now teaching in Korea and really enjoying the chance to develop my teaching skills here. Thanks for your help, Alistair.

I went through Korean Horizon for some extra support for the EPIK application process. I'm happy that I went through Korean Horizon because Alistair, makes sure to keep you on your A-game. He is straightforward and tells you what you need to hear to improve your application or anything throughout the process. He's always quick to respond when you email him a question. Once you make it to Korea he is still a very much a strong support system for you. I definitely recommend Korean Horizon if you want a recruiter who will help you every step of the way and make sure you settle into Korea during your first year.

I chose to apply to EPIK via Korean Horizons after seeing other recommendations online and I am incredibly happy I did. If you have never lived or taught abroad before, the process can be confusing but Alistair makes it all simple and straightforward. From the very moment you apply Alistair is on the ball to get you to where you need to be. His communication is excellent and he has always been there to guide his applicants - I have never had to wait longer than 24 hours for a response to any question or query. Working with Korean Horizons also gives you the added benefit of undertaking a mock interview to prepare you for your EPIK interview - this is not something you will find with many other agencies - but gives you an incredible advantage throughout the competitive process. By working with KH you can also expect in country support when you finally make it to Korea - Alistair has been with us all of the way and continues to offer his support. If you are looking for someone you can trust to get you to Korea via EPIK or other public school routes within the country, I would not look any further than KH. Thank you for all of your help, Alistair - I couldn't have done it without you :)

I applied for the EPIK program (English Program in Korea) through Korean Horizons and am now teaching in South Korea thanks to KH's support. Alistair was extremely helpful from start to finish, keeping me updated throughout the process, organising a pre-interview to prepare me for my interview, sharing key 'in the know' info along the way. It made a big difference, and made the whole process much easier and less stressful. I had a family emergency situation when I first applied and had to pause my application but Alistair was nothing but supportive which was hugely appreciated. I then was able to resume my application when things improved. If you are thinking of applying for EPIK or teaching in Korea, I would recommend going with Korean Horizons.

Alistair was a fantastic help and the rest of his team made sure to make everything as clear and streamlined as possible. Korean Horizons gets my full endorsement and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to make it as a teacher in Korea. Korean Horizons answered all my questions and guided me step-by-step through the process, they told me what to expect and prepared me for everything I needed. I felt supported throughout the entire process and I feel Alistair went above and beyond to ensure everything developed smoothly.

I applied for Korean Horizons feeling uncertain about the process to get to Korea. However, Alistair made the process extremely straight forward and easy for me. He not only reviewed and double checked my documents to make sure everything was correct, but he also held a mock Skype interview to make sure I was ready for the real thing. Even after I got to Korea, he made sure I had everything I needed to start my teaching journey and checked up on me throughout the move. Korean Horizons is efficient and extremely helpful in turning one's plans and ideas into concrete reality.

KH is very helpful and will guide you through whatever you need and support you through the process. KH are especially useful if you don't know where to start, what information you need and how you need to present yourself for this kind of role. This comes in very helpful when doing things like the interview as without Alistair's guidance I am not sure we would have been I would have been successful. KH have provided good communication and it is always helpful to have another set of eyes look over the admin stuff as well as the application stuff. Overall, Alistair was very helpful and I would highly recommend.
