Program Reviews

When I decided to teach in South Korea I applied with several top recruiters, including Korvia. I even had a skype interview with them and a follow-up and WAS NOT IMPRESSED. I felt like a body that just needed to be placed. Luckily, I stumbled upon Korean Horizons and my experience with Alistair has been 10/10. I met many other teachers at the EPIK orientation, and they were all impressed by how great my recruiter was. Korean Horizons teachers were on the first shuttle out to orientation (after being treated to a very nice hotel and dinner the day before), we were prepared for everything and swamped (in a good way!) with information. You will be very well-prepared for your interview and he will make sure your application (essays, lesson plan) are as good as they can be. I know I might sound like an ad but I have had zero issues with KH and I do think (especially after my own experiences and talking with others at orientation) that there is no better recruiter - I am still being contacted and helped even after starting teaching!

Alistair is both super accommodating and a genuine individual. I really recommend going through Korean Horizons if this is your first time applying through EPIK. You only get great advice on how to fill out the application for EPIK but you also get good connections to meet other teachers!

Having someone wait for me on the first day I arrived in S Korea was such a nice welcome. It can feel hard to feel supported in a foreign country but Alistair does his best to let you know that you are not alone.

It had always been a dream of mine to teach English in South Korea and Alistair made my dream a reality! He is so helpful and organized. He is there for you throughout the recruitment process with advice and support anytime you need it and has continued to help me whenever I have questions while living in Korea. Moving to a whole different country by yourself is a big deal and I wouldn't trust anyone else with this life changing experience but Alistair!

The application process for public teaching in Korea is extremely daunting. That's why you need a service like Korean Horizons. From the documents to the interview process, Alistair was there providing expert advice and guidance. If you want to apply to teach in Korea, but don't know how to begin, Alistair and Korean Horizons will make everything a breeze. He breaks down the overwhelming process into bite-sized chunks. I couldn't recommend their services more.

Alistair has to be the most amazing person to have on your side throughout your whole recruitment process. He is very helpful and supportive and it just seems like he has the solution to everything - EVERYTHING!

If teaching in Korea is something you are interested in pursuing - Korean Horizons (read Alistair) is the best way to go if you want the assistance of someone who is always on the ball. I cannot recommend Alistair enough - he definitely deserves a reward for his commitment to making one's recruitment process as stress-less as possible even with all the hitches.

Applying to teach abroad can be a daunting and sometimes confusing process, but Alistair was able to make it fun and easy. From the moment you decide to apply through Korean Horizons Alistair is there to offer you endless support, before and after you’ve arrived, and throughout your entire time in Korea. No question is too silly, and you will never feel like you’re alone even after you’ve just uprooted yourself and moved thousands of miles away from your friends and family. Alistair really does go above and beyond for all his recruits. Compared to the other options out there Korean Horizons, in my opinion, offer the most friendly, helpful, thorough and genuine support… I couldn’t recommend Korean Horizons enough!

From day one, Alistair was super helpful in getting me started, through the interview process, the document bits and bobs you have to get, and the placement. Fast and detailed response time, readily answering any questions you may have. When I got to Korea, he chauffeured us around everywhere (no need for taxi!), treated us to drinks and even honoured us with his singing! The application process has quite a few hoops you have to go through but Alistair made it so much easier. Was a pleasure!

If you are not sure where to start but want to move quickly, Korean Horizons in the place to go. Alistair is on top of everything and will make you feel at ease even when you aren't sure how things are looking. His response times are superb and he will get you all the information you need before/when you need it! As long as you really want the opportunity, he will help prepare you to get it! Good luck and go with Korean Horizons!

Alistair is great. He helped immensely with all aspects of the application process and was timely with email responses. After I arrived in Korea, he picked me up from the airport, had a few drinks with me, provided me a hotel for the night, helped out with the mandatory health check the next day and so much more. This man goes above and beyond what he needs to do to ensure you have a nice smooth transition here and I so can't recommend this company enough. Perfect score 5/7.

Moving to a new country where everything is unfamiliar can be a scary experience. However, if you are planning in to Korea. Look no further! Because Alistair of Korean Horizons will take care of you. Korean Horizons helped me throughout the application process, from the start to the end and not only that, but they also provide their services and you are able to contact them throughout your stay in South Korea. During the application, Alistair guided me through all the steps and he was very open and patient with any questions you have. He even took the time to practice with you and had a mock interview to prepare you for your interview. Korean Horizons also allowed me to have contact with other Korean Horizons recruits and made some very nice friends who I have shared many exciting experiences since my stay in Korea. I definitely recommend you to go through Korean Horizons if you plan on coming to teach in Korea.
