Program Reviews

My experience with Korean Horizons has been incredible. I was so nervous about a lot of things - the application, the interview, living in a new country, etc. Alistair Wery was so helpful and helped me build my confidence through mock interviews and general advice.
Now that I am settling in in South Korea, he is still keeping in touch and offering to help me, which is very appreciated as I'm still trying to figure things out.
I would strongly recommend Korean Horizons to any hopeful applicants.

As a current EPIK teacher I am happy to report that I am having an amazing experience so far and can only see it getting better. I am thankful to have supportive schools and co-teachers that were as happy and excited to meet me as I was them. Similarly, the area that I’m located in has tons of convenient and foreigner friendly facilities close by. Best of all, throughout my entire process to come here and even now I have been supported by KH. The interview process especially was nerve wracking but the support you get is honestly crucial. When it comes to procuring and sending off important documents I can honestly say that your best shot is to have someone on your team that keep you on track and 100% informed. I couldn’t recommend it more!!

Alistair Wery of Korean Horizons was an amazing support for my goal of teaching abroad. He was prompt to respond to any question I had. Even after getting to Korea, he continues to offer support and advice to me. I highly recommend Korean Horizons if you have ever thought about teaching in Korea. They made the process so much easier and understandable for me. They gave me guides and information about moving to Korea and what important documents I should take. Moreover, I can't imagine going to Korea without the guidance I received, I would have been so lost! I can't recommend Korean Horizons enough!

Since day 1 Alistair has been the most helpful, answering every question I've had, stupid or otherwise. I have recommended and will continue to recommend Korean Horizons for those who want to apply to South Korea to teach.

Alistair definitely makes the entire process seamless and always guides you through every aspect of your application.

You are always kept up to date with the latest news and changes that EPIK have made as soon as possible. Even through the uncertainty of covid, Alistair provides you with the best solutions!

100/10 would keep recommending!

Alistair was super helpful and I felt like I always knew what was going on. I am The type of person that always wants to make sure I’m doing everything correctly and asks 101 questions. Alistair was always there to update me on everything that I needed and let me know when I was overthinking things. The mock interview was super helpful and made me feel super comfortable when it came to the actual interview. If you just want the extra security of having someone walking you through this process and answer all your questions I would definitely recommend using this recruiter.

Alistair/Korean Horizons was nothing short of amazing. They were extremely friendly and highly involved throughout the process, with feedback from EPIK being communicated to me immediately. I’m extremely grateful to the agency for being patient and supportive. Making a move to another country can be nerve wrecking and Korean horizons gave me the peace of mind I needed. If you do everything Alistair says you should do, he will get the job done.

I highly recommend Korean horizons because I had a great experience with them.

They helped to make the adjustment from my home country to Korea in no time. There was so much support that I had from staff, especially Alistair. He always replies to emails within the day sometimes even within the hour and gave lots of helpful tips for interviews, orientation and continued his help even once I have moved into my new apartment. The EPIK staff were also amazing during orientation. They were so friendly and never once out you down if you made a mistake, they showed me a way to improve myself as a teacher in Korea. If you’re thinking of using this program I definitely recommend!!!

As someone who is anxious about everything, especially rejection, having a recruiter like Korean Horizons/Alistair, has truly been an amazing experience! Alistair is very responsive to emails and gives great advice for both the application and the interview! I was especially nervous for my interview because this was my first ever "real job" interview, but with Alistair's guidance, I managed to pass. I highly recommend Korean Horizons to people who want to ensure that they get into EPIK! Alistair will be with you throughout the entire process!

I highly recommend working with Korean Horizons throughout your Epik journey. Alistair has been of great assistance since the beginning of my Epik application journey and till this day. I highly recommend him to other applicants out there who wish to teach at public schools in South Korea. The Epik program will equip you with the right set of skills to teach even without an education degree. The process is challenging at first and with the right recruiter, you can have a stress free application journey.

100% recommend going with Korean Horizons if you're applying to EPIK. Alistair has been such a help with a such a stressful and time-consuming application.

I think the best part about applying through Korean Horizons specifically is how attentive Alistair is to every application. Everyone gets a practice interview (with advice that is invaluable) and he replies to your emails very quickly with all the answers you need.

Alistair continues to offer help and support for the duration you're in South Korea.
