Highly recommend!

I loved my experience with Korean Horizons! Alistair has been absolutely great the entire process. I had previously applied with EPIK and didn't receive a placement so i decided to go with a recruiter the next time. Alistair gave fantastic advice and even mock interviews to prepare for the official EPIK interview. He also continues to check up on current teachers after placement. I have also made great friends also in the KH program and we continue to talk and make plans to hang out while here 10/10

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Definitely preparing for the interview. The thought of it gave me so much anxiety but the mock interview helped so much.

Highly Recommend Korean Horizons

I 100% recommend Korean Horizons.
Alistair was extremely helpful and kept you informed and updated every step of the application process. He answered any questions or concerns and was very quick to respond to emails.
The support Alistair and KH offers is invaluable - throughout the application process, the Visa process, the journey to Korea, and even once I'd moved into my apartment in Korea.
KH goes above and beyond so if you're thinking about applying to EPIK through a recruiter I'd highly recommend KH.

Alistair is the best!

I would highly recommend Korean Horizons. The service is extremely effecient and Alistair does everything he can to guide you through the application process and beyond. This is the second time I've applied through KH and I could not be happier. The entire application process can be quite overwhelming so it's truly incredible yo have someone in your corner to help you through everything, and that's exactly what KH does, from the initial application all the way through to placement and finding your feet in Korea.

Korean Horizons Review

I would 10/10 recommend Korean Horizons.
Alistair helped me tremendously at every step of the EPIK application process and even after.
Whenever I had questions Alistair was very quick to get back in touch with me.
Alistair was very informative and I was kept updated regularly.
Alistair provided lots of help and support during all the stages, even once I’d been placed in my school.
If you are thinking about applying for EPIK through a recruiter let it be Korean Horizons! They are excellent!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The interview. However, I had a practice interview with Alistair before the actual interview and he provided me with so many tips and pointers that I felt confident when it came to the interview.

Korean Horizons is Amazing

Applying through the EPIK program can be daunting and complicated. There are quite a few deadlines and a lot of paperwork to submit. Working with Alistair and Korean Horizons made everything so much easier and he walked me through the whole process. I really appreciate all the hardwork and effort that went into helping me. Anyone who is nervous about the application process or those who just want to make sure everything is done correctly, I highly recommend working with Alistair. Now as an EPIK teacher I can do what I love and Korean Horizons played a really big part in that. Thank you for everything!

Best recruiter

Applying abroad can be very confusing and stressful process. However, thanks to Korean Horizon that process was made easier. I had a wonderful recruiter named Alistair. He is able to answer any questions you have, make sure you all your documents are in order and guide you through each step. Their agency even assists you when you get to Korea. I am so happy/lucky to have stumbled upon their agency as I would not have been able to get through this without Alistair (Korean Horizon). I would highly recommend their agency.

Korean Horizon EPIK

The recruitment agency was very helpful in every aspect of understanding the program, the document that would be needed, the timeframe, etc. I felt really pleased that I could trust the agency and if I had questions the recruiyer was always available. The recruiter would respond immediately when available and also ensured that should I have any queries I should send an email. Once I got to Korea, he was still available on Kakaotalk, even during quarantine when I phased an issue with my laptop charger.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve-wracking moment was when I had to do a lesson demonstration in front of the other EPIK candidates as if they were elementary students. However, it went very well according to the EPIK staff member whom was observing. This was because I prepared thoroughly and he was there to check everything every step of the way.

Korean Horizons - EPIK’s Best Recruiter

I was extremely apprehensive about applying to EPIK because I had so many questions at every stage, but Korean Horizons made the process so easy. Alistair was there to answer any and all of my concerns, as well as to guide me step by step through the process. The support didn’t stop there though, Alistair continued to offer guidance after I received my placement and moved into my new home. I am extremely grateful for the help that Korean Horizons and Alistair provided. I would highly recommend!

EPIK 2022 Spring In-take

I truly recommend Korean Horizons with Alistair. I jumped into this without knowing much of the application process and Alistair helped me every step of the way. Through the application, through the interview process, and is still helping after I have arrived in Korea with any questions or things I may need. The application process is long and there is so much paperwork and things that need to get done, and I full-heartedly believe that if it had not been for Alistair's help this whole journey would not have been possible for me, he helped was there ready to answer any questions I may have had without judgment and as quickly as possible. If you're looking for an agency I definitely 100% recommend going with Alistair and Korean Horizons!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Getting to Korea I think was the hardest part, not knowing a single person here and just really having to put myself out there and interact with others. Be as friendly and approachable as you can! Everyone is on the same boat as you, trying to figure out the next step and just getting to know people and talking to them, really does help ou feel less lonely and like you have others who understand exactly what you're going through.

The best decision - EPIK Spring 2022

Choosing to apply for EPIK through Korean Horizons was the best decision I made. Although it adds a middle man in the application process, the amount of support that is provided is incredible. Korean Horizons provides so much advice, encouragement and answers emails within 24hours. They are here to help for the entirety of your stay in Korea, not just to get you there, and guide you through each part of the process step by step so you do not get overwhelmed too quickly. I am so grateful for everything Korean Horizons has done to make this process as smooth as possible.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Accept the help offered by Korean Horizons. You lose nothing while gaining an extra set of eyes for paperwork, a source of knowledge and advice and someone to direct any questions to work to a quick response.
