Program Reviews

I applied for the EPIK program through Korean Horizons. Alistair was so helpful throughout the whole process. He even does mock interviews which made me feel much more prepared. During quarantine the internet in our hotel was extremely slow so Alistar bought and sent us ethernet cables which was so kind and helpful, no other agency did this for their applicants. If you are thinking of teaching in South Korea with EPIK I would definitely recommend applying through Korean Horizons!

Alistair was incredibly helpful throughout the entire application process to EPIK, and I am so thankful for his knowledge and support. He took so much stress off of my shoulders when it came to the logistics of securing the correct documents, communicating with the right people, etc. and answered all of my questions whenever I needed. Having his experience and expertise available to me made the process of applying to EPIK go so much more smoothly. I am now happily placed at my school and so thankful that Alistair helped me get here. I fully recommend Korean Horizons!

Korean Horizons are the best recruitment agency. During the stressful part of applying to the program, Alistair helped through it all. One of my favorite things is that Alistair reviews your application before it is sent off which gives you a chance to edit and change things if need be and an extra set of eyes is the best help. In addition to helping with your application, Alistair also helps when you land in Korea and checks up to make sure you are doing well and have everything you need to succeed.

Alistair helped me every step of the way and answered all of my questions. And now that I'm here in Korea I can still ask for help from him if I need it.
I've moved to a small town here in korea so access to essentials can be difficult to figure out. But luckily Alistair has credit with Gmarket so if I need something and can't find it here I know I can just ask him for it. I only moved in this week but I've already seen a lot of beautiful scenery. I'm excited for the weekend so that I can start exploring!

Korean Horizons made the whole process of going to South Korea a walk in the park. Alistair is an excellent communicator and all the information you need is presented very clearly, you can definitely trust this company. Any questions that I had were answered straight away and not at one point was I worried about anything. I am here now in Korea and I absolutely love my school and town. I also know that I will be supported for the duration of my contract if I need anything, which is great to know. I'm very grateful to Alistair for all his help and would not recommend anyone other than him and Korean Horizons to get you teaching to South Korea.

If you’re looking to teach English in South Korea, Korean Horizons is the recruiter to go with. From completing the initial application and collecting the necessary documents, to the interview and the day I finally arrived in Incheon, Alistair was with me every step of the way. He always replied to my emails promptly, had an answer to every question or concern, paid close attention to my application and essays (helping me revise them as needed), and did everything in his power to ensure I was ready for my big move. While the experience of applying and getting accepted and placed through the EPIK program proved stressful with all its uncertainties, and not to mention last minute reveals (*cough* COVID-19 *cough*), having Alistair around made all the difference. Highly, highly recommended!

I am very pleased to be a teacher in South Korea with the help of Korean Horizons. I was supported every step of the way and provided with all the information and tools needed for a successful transition. Alistair Wery is very kind and always ready to assist and help in anyway possible. I am really enjoying my stay here, and the food. The people are great too and I feel very safe at all times. I generally don't like winter, so that's been tough lol (it's freezing). Thank you Korean Horizons!!!!!

I had a great experience with the help of the amazing Alistair Wery from Korean Horizons and the EPIK program! Alistair was incredibly helpful right from the beginning. He answered my emails in a timely fashion. He is kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and all of the above. It was such a great feeling to know I was in very capable hands. He made sure everything was taken care of quickly and as efficiently as possible. As for the EPIK program and orientation, it was helpful, the staff was wonderful, the trainings were informative and it was fun! I would highly recommend that anyone go through Korean Horizons with Alistair for the EPIK program, and highly recommend the EPIK program and the orientation.

From the service to benefits, KH is simply the the best.

Most people i met say this was a stressful process ever, for me it wasn't. With Alistair's support, guidance and frequent updates, my application was... yes long but also smooth. I'm grateful that out of all the agencies i chose KH. If i was asked to start everything from beginning i would choose KH over and over again. I have no regrets.

Alistair and the team at Korean Horizons supported me during my application process all the way. He was always willing to answer any questions that I had and always ensured that I was kept in the loop the whole time. This is the second time that I worked with him and I can say that he is good at what he does. He helped with the interview and application process, ensuring that I was well-prepped. After getting accepted to EPIK, he even meet us at the airport and gave us a welcome pack. Plus suggested that we arrive a day earlier, in order to recover from some of the jetlag. How many recruiters would go the extra mile? There are many more examples that I could give to relay what a great recruiter Alistair was during this entire process.
Ultimately I would say to anyone that is thinking about teaching in South Korea, I definitely recommend Korean Horizons :)
