Program Reviews

I brought my students to XPlore Asia's South Korea program in May 2025 as part of a new Study Abroad program. My goal was for students to obtain credible TEFL Certifications while simultaneously earning college credits at Georgia College & State University. I partnered with International TEFL Academy and XPlore Asia because it was by far the most organized, efficient, and friendly program I found during my search. The entire team was knowledgeable, efficient, and thoughtful, and the facilities were excellent. My team of university students got to explore Seoul, develop multiple lessons, interact with people from all over the world, and most importantly, work with English language learners every single day.

To anyone looking to expand their personal or professional portfolio, or any university aiming to integrate TESOL into its academic goals, I recommend XPlore Asia.

As a member of Generation X, I once thought that working and living abroad was not for me - maybe it was too late. I took a big step by enrolling in the TESOL Program with XploreAsia. From the beginning, their team was supportive, kind, and genuinely helpful. Now I've been living here for some time, and the journey is still going strong.

Of course, it's not all a bed of roses. Living in a new country comes with ups and downs, and challenges, especially when Thai policies seem to change overnight. But knowing that I have the ongoing support of XploreAsia makes all the difference.

What I appreciate is that they continue to offer ongoing support- Community support and Mentorship.

For anyone thinking about teaching and living abroad, I highly recommend XploreAsia. Their care don't stop when the course ends!

I am absolutely thrilled with the service I received from Xplore Asia! They helped me land a job I absolutely love in Nakhon Pathom. The team was professional, supportive, and went above and beyond to ensure I found the perfect fit. Their expertise and network in the industry are truly impressive. If you're looking for a career opportunity in Asia, I highly recommend Xplore Asia - they've changed my life for the better! They have a deep understanding of the job market in Asia, and were able to connect me with top employers in my field. I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with such a talented and dedicated team.

I can say for sure that I would have never been able to make such a huge move like this with out the continued support of Xplore Asia. The training program itself was one of the best months of my life. I would recommend Xplore to a friend. I would also, though, emphasize the mental and emotional toll a kind of move and job like this might take. This is where I feel Xplore could do a bit better- offering students more sufficient warnings and proper preparation for what's to come in combination with the coursework.

Had a great time on the course, instructors and placement team were all amazing!

A few hiccups in the beginning, with not finding out about the university program until after booking everything. Which was followed by more required payments. But nonetheless, having a great time in my new job at Saiaksorn, and very glad I took this jump to Thailand.

Can see myself here for a long time.

I recently completed my TEFL course with Xplore Asia, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! The training was thorough and incredibly well-structured. Our instructor, Gary, was fantastic — knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely passionate about teaching. The practical teaching sessions with local students were especially valuable and gave me real confidence in the classroom.

Now that I’m placed in my school, I can honestly say I love it here. The environment is welcoming, the students are honestly amazing, and I feel so, so happy right now. I'm truly grateful to Xplore Asia for making this journey possible!

Sometimes along the journey, you expect things to unfold a certain way — but life has a way of surprising you. What you thought you didn’t want can turn out to be exactly what you needed, and often, it works out even better than you ever imagined. Don’t give up when things seem hard, it will all pay off in the end!

They were very helpful and friendly from the start, guiding me through the TESOL course, job placement, and settling in Thailand. They helped me find an apartment, offered lesson planning support, and made the move smooth and stress-free. Years later, they still supported me by providing a recommendation letter. I’ve now been teaching in Asia for six years and love it. I wouldn’t be where I am today without their amazing support, guidance, and genuine care throughout the journey. Just want to thank them for an amazing service!

From the moment I was put in touch with Xplore Asia the process was extremely straightforward and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Questions were answered before they needed to be asked the whole process was made so easy by their attention to detail. This didn’t stop upon arrival either. Everything was extremely well organised and logical.Every effort was made to ensure that everyone could get the most out of the week and set us up to succeed in the daunting challenge of living in a new country Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in pursuing a similar opportunity.

I’m currently living and working in Korea and my time here has been very special: full of new experiences, challenges, and growth. But what made everything even more meaningful was Shannon.💯

Shannon was so much more than just a point of contact she was someone who really listened, supported me every step of the way, and always kept me updated. Her kindness, attentiveness, and support made such a difference in my life here in Korea. I always felt like I had someone I could count on, no matter what.🌹

I’m so grateful to have had Shannon by my side. Thank you so much, Shannon!

So I truly recommend giving this great new experience a try 🤗 it can really enrich your mind and life.

Put simply, the quicker you get stuck in and dive into the deep end, the quicker you’ll feel more settled and comfortable in your new environment. It may feel a bit overwhelming and stressful, but doing this sooner rather than later will mean that you can actually enjoy each day and the new experiences a lot quicker compared to if you’re thinking ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’. Time goes by a lot quicker than you think, even if you're here for a year, I’ve now been in the country for 4 months and I feel like time is flying by.
