Hey guy, I thought I'd send you a quick note letting you know everything is going great for me. That first day was quite the whirlwind, but things after the first week have gotten much better now that I know more about what to do and expect. I absolutely love the kids. For the most part! Yeah the bigger classes and the older ones can be a little bit of a challenge to keep their attention, but still, I couldn't have imagined myself having a better time overall. They've been getting my apartment room ready for me this week, and tomorrow I move out of the hotel and into my apartment, so I'm looking forward to that. Today was a really great end of the week, too, as the kids turned in all their stamps (for excellent work, etc.) for school "money," where they could purchase supplies like pencils, pens, erasers, fun play mats, etc. I'm not sure if they were excited more for the chance to get free stuff or if this took the place of their normal classes...! The other teachers here are also just a joy to work with...Korean and English speaking. There's another guy from the states who's just a riot and another lady who is from New Zealand who is just as nice as anyone can be. All the Korean teachers are just fabulous too. Well, anyway, I don't mean to keep rambling, but I'm just so psyched to be here, So thanks again for making it all happen.

Brad- things are going extremely well at Jayeon and thanks again for getting me placed so quickly. I started teaching classes this week after training, and beginning Monday, I have a full load with a new theme. I am doing well and enjoying the experience very much.
I thought you would enjoy these pics of the school, teacher colleagues, and Korean teachers and staff at my school in Bo Jeong-gu. Hope all is well with you and Yumi and thanks again for sorting everything out for me.
Cheers! Valerie K.-Bundang

This company goes above and beyond customers expectations. They will go the extra mile to help all get the best result. Their staff is second to none and superior training. I have helped others I know in the industry to match them with the best possible outcome. I have been involved with South Korea for 17 years and this company is the best company I have met. They are always willing to answer questions fully and assist those who need the right connection. They are reliable and trustworthy. Don’t hesitate to contact them.

Hi Brad,

Well, my situation is terrific. I'm only about ten minute's walk from my work to the city center. I love my school, and I tell everyone that my Director has been very kind to me. The coworkers are great, especially the Korean co-teachers, because they are quick to assist since I'm a new teacher, and they are also supportive when I ask them for advice on lessons, curriculum, etc. A Korean coworker, in particular, has taken me under his wing, shown me around the city, introduced me to many Korean dishes, and taken me hiking on a few weekends. I'm delighted I chose to come to Korea and have this adventure so far away from back home in the States. These experiences will help me be a better teacher and I can't wait to travel around SE Asia after my contract finishes. I will probably want to come back from another year, so I will surely hit you up again. You were great in helping me gather all of the visa documents, getting them apostille notarized, finding a job, and following up with me after I was settled in Korea. I will be sure to recommend your agency to other expats who are looking for a good school.

Cheers,

Hello! I came to Korea back in 2016 with the Teach English In Korea Program.

It has been the best experience, from the start of the process to when I landed in Korea. Bradley (Prof. Brennan) has done a superb job assisting me with any and everything I needed. Our orientation was fun and very memorable and I made friends that weekend that has been with me ever since. I am still in Korea and have not lost contact with Brad and I've been on several other orientation weekends, as I'm now a bit of a veteran myself.

I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who is considering making the move to come to teach English in Korea. If I didn't have this 'family' I would have been lost and confused.

Thank you, Brad!

Going to teach in Korea is such a fun experience! Living in such an advanced country will give you many opportunities. Even more so when you know you can count on a recruiter that cares about where you are placed! After years of teaching here you realize the environment you are put into really determines if you will succeed. Work life balance can be difficult at times, but once you get into a routine it’s great! I would say come ready to adjust to an environment that’s not your own and most of all come with a positive and happy attitude.

I have had a wonderful time teaching in Korea. I have been able to teach an extraordinarily cute and excessively smart group of students (and to learn so much from them); I have made a great group of friends; and been privileged to have made many life-changing memories. This is both because I had a good school with great kids and great coworkers/managers, and also because I had a good recruiter who focused on parsing through the available schools and exclusively working with good ones. Best of luck!
