Program Reviews

I applied to the EPIK program through Korean Horizons, and I cannot recommend it enough. Alistair provided so much help and support, and I honestly don’t know if I would have made it here without his help. I did a mock interview with him, and he gave really useful feedback for the actual interview. He paid for a hotel the night before the orientation. Arriving a day early and meeting the other teachers felt like a great start to the program. Alistair kept me on track and gave helpful information when it came to the documentation and paperwork. I think he made the whole process go much smoother.

When starting the process and looking into applying for the EPIK program, everything seemed so daunting at first. There was so much to do and consider months ahead of time. When speaking to a close friend about the journey we were about to embark on, she recommended we (my husband and I) reach out to Alistair from Korean Horizons. From the very first email that was sent to Alistair, we were immediately put at ease. His efficiency and dedication to assisting us were admirable. Alistair went above and beyond in every regard. All emails were responded to with careful consideration and the best intentions in mind. His responses were always efficient, detailed, and tailored to our needs. Alistair provides a 1:1 mock interview which is intended to best prepare you for the real deal! If ever we felt unsure of something, we could always count on Alistair to give us the best possible advice. We honestly believe in our hearts that this journey was only possible through all of the guidance, support, and advice that Alistair was able to provide us with.

The amount of time and effort that Alistair invested in us is something we'll always be grateful and appreciative of! We would highly recommend using Alistair at Korean Horizons to anyone interested in this exciting journey to South Korea.

Alistair is extremely knowledgeable and has all the resources to help you when applying for EPIK! I believe that the advice, feedback, and resources provided to me helped me be successful. Alistair via Skype allowed me to practice for my interview and gave me important information and tips on things to note for my EPIK interview.

Applying to EPIK can be challenging due to the many required documents, however, with Korean Horizons this process becomes a lot easier. They also provide continuous help, even after placement. I highly recommend using Korean Horizons!

Alistair was extremely helpful in my application to EPIK. His assistance and advice was crucial in my being accepted, and he has always been prompt and accommodating with any questions. I highly recommend using his services for those seeking a TESOL position in Korea.
In particular, I would recommend Korean Horizons for anyone interested in applying to EPIK or regional public schools. Although I put in a late application, Alistair helped walk me through the process and documentation requirements, while providing interview practice and tips. I ended up getting to Korea on time. 5/5

I would highly recommend applying to EPIK through Korean Horizons.
Alistair seamlessly guides you through the application process, knowing exactly when and how to apply for documents, ensuring they are all correct before submitting and keeping you informed.
The practice interview followed by advice was super, and definitely made me less stressed on the day!
Once we arrived in Korea, Alistair organised a comfy hotel for us (definitely required after 18+ hours on a plane) and we had the opportunity to meet with other applicants.

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 :)
