Program Reviews

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!!

Hi! To everyone considering teaching in Korea through the EPIK program I heavily recommend going through Korean Horizons.
The support the agency gave me throughout my entire application was phenomenal: from applying to EPIK, interviewing, sorting out the necessary documents, general inquiries, down to arriving in Korea and getting to orientation successfully; Korean Horizons helped every step of the way.
Their help made my application and success seamless and as pain-free as it could possibly be.

I ended up in a rural town in Gyeongsangbuk-do. However, don't let the word 'rural' scare you from the job. While the town does not have everything a major city would, living here is very comfortable and beautiful. There are plenty of restaurants, clothing stores, convenience stores and friendly people that make staying here very nice. I've only been here a couple days and I already feel welcome and at home (of course with the help of the other EPIK teachers who took me under their wing when I arrived).

The only flaw I can think of when it comes to the EPIK program so far is that if you have a strong preference for where you live, you might find yourself disappointed. You do not really get a choice in your placement - you can give your preferences but that does not necessarily mean that will happen; especially if you want to live in a major city. However, fret not. Public transport here is affordable and accessible so traveling and weekend get-aways are definitely on the cards if you end up in an area you wouldn't have preferred to have been placed.

I would love to write more but as of now I have only been here a couple days. On a final note I would like to say that everyone is welcoming and kind - the teachers at my school, the other EPIK teachers in the area as well as the orientation staff. Genuinely one of the best experiences of my life so far! I hope you can have a great experience too if you decide to give this a shot.

Korean Horizons helped me in so many ways that I can never imagine. I believe that if it wasn't for them I would never have been accepted into the Epik program. Alistair made sure that I submit an application of high quality and standards, and he also helped me navigate how to answer questions in the interview. Upon arrival at the airport, he was there to take us to the hotel so that we can rest for one night , free of charge. If you would like to apply to teach in South Korea, please do not hesitate to contact Korean Horizon, they will help you with everything you need.

I believe that coming to a new country not knowing anything that there has to be a support system. My recruiter Alistair was very accomidating and understanding about any problems I had. He also responded to any questions in a timley and proffesional manner. To anyone who has doubts about coming to a new country and teaching English, I say do it. I have not been here for more than a few weeks but I believe my life has changed for a better experience. Embrace and soak up everything because there is a whole world, it's just waiting for you to see it.

First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to Alistair for all of his help and advice. If you're considering moving to South Korea, Korean Horizon is the best recruitment firm to engage with. In the beginning when you apply with Alistair, he could be difficult with the lesson plans, but in all honesty, he is just trying to get you the job.If you're thinking about coming to South Korea to teach English and you want to make sure that Korean Horizon or Alistair is the right fit for you, then this is the information you might be looking for, KH is 100% the best.

working with this agent made my application process smooth. i worked along Alistair, i called him father A on the low because of how much of a father he was during this process, he perfected my application and prepared me for the interview. everything was easy and he was there anytime to answer even the slightest of questions that i had. i am in South Korea right now because of the help and step by step guidance that i got from korean horizon. i am highly grateful and out of words for how much they have helped me, for free !

Alistair was great at helping me through the whole EPIK process! He made sure I was prepared with my application and interview. He also made sure I was all set before arriving in South Korea. Korean Horizons has a great online community that is very helpful when it comes to information about preparing for interviews. I am grateful for the helping hand that got me here. I am most grateful for the community and friends I have met through Korean Horizons. I am now lucky enough to be able to start my journey officially as an EPIK teacher.
