About Program

We are a husband-and-wife team who have placed over 2,000 English teachers in South Korea since 2006, and being small is the point: you deal with us directly, not a call center, and you get our full attention. We live by a simple motto: No B.S., No Drama. That means straight answers and no surprises: you will know the real salary, hours, and housing before you sign, and we only send you to schools we would happily work at ourselves. We have over 20 years of experience helping teachers like you, and we each spent eight years working for the Korean government, in Korea and in the USA, so we know this system from the inside. We handle the whole journey: visa documents, the E-2 process, placement, and arrival. We are expats here ourselves, so our job does not stop the day you land: we are still here through your full year, and twice a year we host a dinner in Seoul for up to sixty of our teachers, on us, because a new country is easier with people around you.

Teach English in Korea

I was not sure what to expect from teach in korea, but I was pleasantly surprised! :) There are some really great events and it is very easy to meet people at them! Brad is very personable and friendly which really makes you feel welcomed. He is very knowledgeable about life and work in Korea :) The environment at the events is very open, and the events are a great way to meet other people who are both new to Korea and have been here for a long time. Thank you again for a surprising and lovely afternoon!

Great hagwon job placing

The job search process was really easy with TEIK. Bradley was super helpful and had lots of information on teaching English and life in Korea. He provided great support through figuring out what I wanted, interviewing, decision making, and the visa and immigration process.

The job Bradley found for me matched my needs. It was in the city I had a preference for. Both the school and housing are in great locations. The commute is short, easy and the shops nearby are so convenient. Bradley really made sure that my job search was easy and recommended the best possible jobs for me.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
For me it was accepting the job. The process was really fast, faster than I was expecting. I had nerves about how fast everything was moving. But when I looked at the job and compared it to what I wanted, the decision made sense for me.
Pros
  • Quick communication
  • Support throughout
  • Takes your preference into account
What other participants should know
  • School’s organization/onboarding could be a little better

TEIK in Seoul

Having moved to Seoul a couple of months ago, I'm very glad that I chose the TEIK team to assist me. Brad and the team made finding a job so easy, and made sure that the job matched all of my requests. The process was straight-forward and they were so helpful with any questions.

The team also organises socials every 6 months so you have a chance to meet other teachers, make friends, and have a break! They're also well-timed so you will have settled in by the time the first one comes around. And they're free!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Go for it! Korea has so much to offer, for people with all kinds of interests. You'll meet the most amazing people, and have chances to make the best memories.
Pros
  • History
  • How close nature is to the city
  • The food!
What other participants should know
  • The school's organisation could be a little better.

TEIK IS THE BEST!!!

This experience has been more than I could’ve ever imagined. Professor Bradley is so helpful and kind, this transition has been smooth and easy. Bradley responded to every message and question I had with urgency and kindness. He did his best to schedule me many interviews until I found the best fit for me. I felt supported and appreciated! Bradley was with me every step of the way, interviews, documentation, scheduling, etc. This program is the best, and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone thinking about coming to South Korea to teach English!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Nothing! Everything has been amazing and seamless!

A Unique Experience

A reliable recruiter that placed me with a school very quickly. They were extremely helpful in assisting with all of the documents and visa process. A very unique job and experience overall! Would recommend if you are just graduated and looking for a job or career abroad. Feel free to send them an email through this website and you will get set up with an initial interview very quickly. Bradley and Yumi are very helpful. Would definitely reccomend! Korea is a very fun country for living and working.

TEIK Review

TEIK helped me find a teaching job in Busan. At first I was worried about all the logistics of moving to another country, but TEIK helped me navigate all the documentation. Bradley was very friendly and personable, and helped me find a nice job in an exciting and dynamic location, as I told him I wanted to move to Busan specifically. The school he helped get me placed at is reputable and I've had a good experience teaching there so far. I highly reommend using TEIK if you want to find a good teaching job fit for you.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Make sure to try learning the language before travlleing abroad! It helps a lot.

Life-Changing Support for Teaching in Korea

Teaching English in Korea was absolutely instrumental in helping me begin my journey as an English teacher in Korea. From the very first interaction, the team was supportive, professional, and genuinely invested in my success. They guided me through the application process, answered all my questions with patience, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and exciting. Thanks to their help, I secured a teaching position that has been both rewarding and life-changing. I’m deeply grateful for their dedication and would highly recommend this program to anyone considering teaching abroad.

What was your funniest moment?
Getting locked out of my room since I’ve never used digital door locks before
