Program Reviews

Wow Alistair is an actual saving grace to all of us. When other people were stressing about placements, information, other recruiters and even EPIK themselves not responding to them for days on end, Alistair ALWAYS responded within a day. Even whilst here in Korea he is still reaching out to us to make sure we are okay. To have peace of mind I promise you Korean Horizons is THE best recruitment agency and so many of us passed because of them. I highly doubt I would be here without them. Amazing company, Alistair is amazing and I hope everyone reading this can succeed and get to Korea through Korean Horizons! You can all do it 😊

Wow, where do I begin?

From the moment I was considering teaching in Korea, by sending one simple email of interest, Alistair responded promptly. He arranged a phone call for more clarification, and from there, I knew I would be in good hands.

I am the first person in my family to work abroad. However, Alistair had all of the tips and answers to my questions regarding documents, moving, teaching, etc.
His interview prep was excellent. I felt so confident during my interview (even though it was at 2:00am my time, haha). Once I passed my interview, he was prompt and accurate with any updates about my placement, quarantine, and life in Korea.

When I landed in Korea, I encountered a problem. With just one Kakao message, Alistair was able to help me fix it.

I can 100% say, moving to Korea with the help of Korean Horizons was the best recruitment company to choose, and best decision of my life for my career.

From his personalized emails, to his check-ins, and intro package, I am forever grateful for the support of Alistair.

I would recommend Korean Horizons to anyone who's looking to teach ESL in Korea!. Alistair helped me with the process and was proactive in trying to acquire all the necessary documentation ahead of time. Anytime my group and I had questions, he would always reply in a timely manner. Alistair always made sure to check on us if we weren't responding to his emails which also served as a very considerate and polite reminder. To think that I would've applied directly to EPIK, would've been the most terrifying and confusing experience. I am grateful that Alistair saw my resume on a third party website and reached out to me with this wonderful and rewarding opportunity.

The EPIK application process was arguably one of the most stressful things I've ever had to do and I'm so glad I chose Korean Horizons. Alistair provides all the information you need for every step and any questions you have, he will answer in less than a day. The process can be very complicated especially when it came to all the documents required and the interview, but Alistair will always be there to help you from beginning till the end. I highly recommend Korean Horizons to anyone who wants to apply to EPIK because I honestly doubt I could've made it to South Korea so smoothly without Alistair's assistance.

Alistair made the whole process from initial application to arriving at my apartment in Korea as seamless and easy as possible. It is, at times, a complicated process so his guidance was invaluable! He is honest and transparent, unlike some recruiters and always on hand to answers questions within a day, often just a few hours. He continues to support you after your arrival in Korea and even provides a welcome pack with useful items and information. Couldn't recommend more! Thank you Alistair :)

They have been so helpful in me getting a teaching position through EPIK!!! Alistair has been amazing!!! Guided my sister and I throughout the entire EPIK journey!!! He left no stone unturned!!

The greatest quality you’ll find is the attention to detail!!! - for example when we arrived in Korea, Korean Horizon sent us a care package! (See photo) So thoughtful!

Thank you for everything!!! You made the application process to seamless.

Every person that asks where do I apply I send them to Korean Horizon!!!

I would definitely recommend Korean Horizons to everyone who's looking for a teaching job in a public school in Korea! Alistair helped me with every step of my application process for Epik and explained everything in detail. He answered any and all questions that I had. Not only does he help you with your application, but he helps you even when you're in Korea. He sent a lovely personalized welcome package and offers a market service if you need to buy anything but can't really get it at the moment, Alistair will buy it for you. I think that this is such a great perk especially when you don't have a Korean bank account yet or don't have access to online shopping.

I’ve just started my first year teaching in Korea thanks to Korean Horizons. I tried to go it alone at first, but it was more difficult than I expected. I couldn’t recommend a better agency than KH to help you navigate the complicated application and arrival processes. They were always there with an honest and prompt response to any question or need I’ve had so far, before and after getting the job and arriving in Korea. You’re in safe hands with this one!! I definitely recommend reaching out even if you’re just considering teaching in Korea.

Korean horizons supplied excellent advice and resources to help make the process easier to understand and gave me a competitive edge, however, the most invaluable thing Korean Horizons provided was a community of fellow applicants that formed a small, supportive, amazing community of candidates to share ideas, feedback, and make the journey together less isolating and more anchored by close acquaintances and amazing personalities sharing this experience. I wouldn't have enjoyed this process without the support of the people in the program and specifically those people within it who have made a world of difference.

This whole process has been a very long and arduous journey that I am not sure I would have been able to complete successfully without the assistance of Korean Horizons. The guidance and assistance received from Korean Horizons and Alistair have been of such great help. His regular check-ins and the way in which information is communicated helps to break down the process into small digestible sections that are more understandable and you will always feel that there is someone there to help you.

If you are one to have many questions about the whole program, I would recommend Korean Horizons as they are always speedy in answering and assisting you with any questions or issues that you may have.
