Best Recruiter Ever!

Had such a smooth transition with my move to Seoul with this recruiter. They were extremely communicative and responded quickly between email exchanges whenever I had questions or concerns.

I would highly recommend using this recruiter because of how quickly they are to respond to messages. I feel like that is rare to find with other recruiters.

Since being at my new workplace, I am happy with where I am placed as well as the conditions of my apartment. It's in such a wonderful location and I couldn't be happier to call Seoul my new home.

Thankful for SeoulESL

Moving to a new country all by yourself can be terrifying, but SeoulESL made sure all of my concerns were answered quickly and efficiently so I had nothing to worry about. Even after settling down in Seoul, they made sure to check up on me and make sure no issues popped up. They are quick to get you set up with interviews and communicative during the visa process, which was very nice since I was new to obtaining a visa and didn’t know what to expect. Grace is very wonderful and informative about school systems, travel, and navigating Seoul depending on which area you’ve moved. Thank you, Grace!

ESL Consulting

Grace and her team from ESL Consulting were extremely helpful with guiding me through the job process. Grace was always quick to respond to any of my questions or concerns and helped me get my visa in time so I could still go on a holiday before moving to Korea. She always responded with a lot of kindness and thoughtfulness. Since I have arrived, she has also been regularly checking on me to make sure I feel comfortable and safe. I would highly recommend using ESL Consulting for other teachers looking for a teaching position in Korea.

Pros
  • Kindness
  • Helpful
  • Quick responses

Appreciative English Teacher

Out of the few English teaching recruitment agencies based in South Korea that I contacted, Seoul ESL Consulting was the quickest to respond and provided the most helpful and detailed information right from the beginning. The people who assisted me through the daunting challenge of finding the right job for me in my first overseas teaching job were exceptionally responsive and informative. I would highly recommend this consulting agency for anyone wanting to teach in South Korea and have already recommended this agency to my friends who are interested in teaching in South Korea.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Don’t hesitate to double or triple check with the consulting agents that you understand what is required for your teaching purposes and have accomplished every task in the right way and by the right time. They’re here to help!
Pros
  • Informative
  • Efficient
  • Responsive
Cons
  • Because they deal with many clients, send reminder emails of your unique journey.

SeoulESL

Working with SeoulESL to find a teaching position in South Korea was incredibly easy. They were easy to communicate with and helpful with every step in the process, and assisted me in finding a job that would allow me to start teaching even though I had very little practical experience.

They found a role for me and helped arrange an interview with the school, and shortly after I was offered the job! The entire process only took about 3 months. I left my previous job in June 2023, and was in South Korea by early October. They continue to check in to see how I'm doing, and I will definetely use them again if I need to seek out another teaching job within the country.

Friendly and quick communication

Once they guided me through all the necessary paperwork for a visa, I started receiving job offers almost immediately.

They also sent me messages when I landed and asked how I was, which I appreciated.

You a provided with clear messages about what you need, and what to expect for each part of the process. I rarely felt confused about what was happening, and anytime I wasn't sure they were able to provide a quick and clear answer. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in teaching in South Korea!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Don't worry about how you'll be received in the country. The majority of people here are very polite and soft-spoken.

So Helpful!

I applied to so many jobs after getting my TEFL certificate and didn't get even one reply, within two days of being accepted by ESL I had an interview with a school. Throughout the whole process of coming to Korea, ESL have helped me with everything, from helping me with the visa process to planning for my flight, I genuinely dont think I would even be in Korea right now if it wasn't for ESL's help. They are a brilliant company, especially for new English teachers as they ensure the teachers have lots of support both before and after they get to Korea!

Very supportive

Throughout my journey , the programme has been very supportive. From my interview to my visa application. Everything was easy as they would give me step by step instructions and detailed information that made my move easy and smooth. I truly do recommend anyone wanting to teach in a foreign land to join and get the same experience as I did . I wouldn’t have had a fast transition to my journey if the programme didn’t play a hand in it. I am truly grateful for the assistance and hope you also choose this programme for your journey

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
My first day teaching in South Korea
Pros
  • I was assisted with my visa
  • I got interviews through them
  • When I landed ,they checked up on me
