Program Reviews

Phenomenal service from Alistair, he has excellent communication skills; i don't know how he manages to respond to many people so efficiently. Although the application process is long, he is always there to make the journey easy. The hotel was booked by Alistair for KH candidates only! No other agency offers that. The hotel name was Golden Tulip and there are airport shuttles which are available at no cost that take you to/from the airport. I highly recommend Korean horizons their service exceeded my expectations.

I started my journey August 2023, when I sent Alistair an email because I wanted to apply for EPIK. I had previously seen a video on how Korean Horizons had assisted a lady I knew, from her application to her settling into her apartment. I knew that I had to apply too. Alistair got back to me and the rest is history. He was with me every step of the way. From my application essays and lesson plan, to my interview and arrival to South Korea. He organised a hotel for us to sleep in for our first night in Korea after flying for many hours. He consistently checked in on how our process was going and also kept me in the loop on his side. I never felt alone. I highly recommend Korean Horizons!
P.S There was a little inside joke in one of our group chats where we referred to ourselves as “Father A”’s children!😅
The whole process was stressful from essays to our apostilled documents taking forever at DIRCO, but I would honestly do it all over again. What a delight to have worked with him. Thank you Korean Horizons.

I can not stress enough how Korean Horizons is the best agency to go with. If you admire honesty, thoroughness and integrity. I managed to get everything done in time by following through the guidance and support and I am very thankful for that. From getting my documents ready, interviews, contract signing, visa application, flights, arriving, orientation up to placement with tremendous support and constant communication. I really appreciate the dedication the agency has to the individuals. It is admirable.

Applying to teach EFL through Korean Horizons, especially with Alistair Wery's help, simplified the otherwise gruelling process significantly. Alistair’s knowledge and expertise were evident as he patiently addressed all my queries, no matter how trivial, guiding me through the intricate process with prompt professionalism. His support extended from the application phase to interviews and even relocating to Korea, where he arranged accommodation, offered invaluable insights, and kept in touch with me throughout, despite being in the UK when I arrived. The practice interview proved incredibly beneficial, enhancing my preparedness. Alistair's hands-on approach and continuous feedback were instrumental, ensuring I completed the daunting paperwork accurately. Korean Horizons was supportive, patient and understanding despite the challenges and delays I experienced with getting the paperwork from my home country. The fact that all this exceptional support is free through Korean Horizons is the cherry on top of a fantastic program. I am immensely grateful for the stress-free, seamless experience and wholeheartedly recommend Alistair Wery and Korean Horizons to anyone wanting to embark on this journey.

I could not recommend Alistair and Korean Horizons more if you are looking to get into the EPIK programme. His level of knowledge and expertise is unparalleled and he answered all of my questions (both legit and silly) very promptly and professionally. I always felt that I was in safe hands and guided through the process - and given how complicated a lot of the paperwork is I think I would have struggled hugely without Korean Horizons helping along the way. The practice interview was particularly helpful too. Would highly recommend.

If you are looking to travel abroad and are thinking of going to South Korea to teach English, then I thoroughly suggest using Korean Horizons to help you achieve that goal. The support they provide is incredible. Any question I had, they answered. Any documentation I required, they helped me get. My placement into a school in Korea took me ages because of how much I struggled getting paperwork together from my home country but Korean Horizons were understanding, patient and helped whenever they could. Korean Horizons also goes out of their way to ensure that you have the best possible experience when coming to Korea. They help you set up your new life when you arrive and link you with the online community so that you can make new friends, wherever you may be in Korea.

Applying for EPIK via Korean Horizons was the best decision I ever made. It made the whole process a lot easier. The support given by Alistair was invaluable. He supports you throughout the process, from the application process to interviews, and moving to Korea. When arriving in Korea, he arranged for accommodation and even taught us how to use the train system. I really appreciated how Korean Horizons really held my hand throughout the whole process and I would recommend Korean Horizons to anyone.

Going through Korean Horizons was the best decision I could have made. The first time I applied to EPIK I really struggled with the timing of getting my documents and ultimately, that was why I didn't pass the process. With Alistair, I was able to take my time getting my documents and get help along the way. He gave me so much support and feedback along the way. I truly would not have successfully done this alone because there's SO MUCH to consider that I had no clue how to do.
On top of that, Alistair coodinated hotels for the first night, taught me how to buy train tickets, and met us all at the airport. And it was free to go through KH. I genuinely can't imagine carry the stress alone if you don't have to. I'm so grateful and you will be too.

I had always loved English as a language and a discipline however my interest in it felt very displaced.When i discovered EPIK I just knew it was for people like me.I am an EPIK teacher now in WANDO JEOLLANAM-NDO but i would have not done it without Korean Horizon(Alistair).He did the most from day one of my application to the day i met him at the hotel lobby to go meet the EPIK staff.It has been by far the greatest experiences of my life.I am so happy I found ALISTAIR.I would encourage everyone

Applying for the Epik program through Korean Horizons is honestly the best decision you can ever make!!! This whole process of relocating to another country for a job is a lot of work. And to have someone on your team looking out for you eases the process along!!! Also someone to answer all your possible questions!!!! Because trust me, you’ll have plenty and no question is too big or too small.

I’ve heard from close friends how going through this has changed them. And I’m hoping for the same for me lol!!
