A Wonderful Experience

I had a wonderful experience using Travel and Teach. They were extremely helpful too me in every step of my journey in getting to Korea. I was a little worried about coming to Korea at first but Kyungjin was very quick to answer any questions that I had. After being in Korea for over a year I can honestly say it is one of the best decisions I ever made. The school that I have worked for was wonderful and I had no issues working with them. The team is extremely helpful and I would highly recommend working with them if your planning to go to Korea!

T&T is great

I have had a great experience with travel and teach. The person helping me was super nice and helped me with every question I had in a timely manner. I had been in contact with a few different recruitment companies but all the interviews I had with travel and teach were by far the best and most fun by a large margin. The schools travel and teach are partnered with are really the best! As a new teacher, travel and teach has provided me with the best opportunities and support to start the next chapter in my life!

Thank you kindly for taking the time to leave a review! We're always happy to hear when our teachers are enjoying their time in Korea.

I would also agree that our schools are the best :) We have been working with many of them for 20+ years, so we know that they are run well and by good people.

If you need anything or have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Amazing Experience!

I worked with Kyungjin, and she was nothing short of pleasant. The whole experience from beginning to end was a breeze, and the school, a gem!

The paperwork, and everything in between was easy. I had a webcam chat with her as an initial introduction, and she was incredibly pleasant. The school, and I can’t emphasize this enough, but the school and people within were extremely helpful and kind. I never felt out of place, or afraid to ask questions, as no matter what the issue, I always felt respected and never looked down upon.

Seoul Korea

The Travel Overseas staff was helpful and responsive to all my questions. They found me a job very quickly and I could not be happier with them. The school I work for is a standard private academy overseen by a larger company. They pay on time, are fair with their work conditions and hours, give support for new teachers, and are generally professional. There is a team atmosphere here which helps everyone feel supported. However, one big negative is the lack of multimedia support in the classroom. We do not even have audio players for the audio in the textbook, and much of the audio in the textbooks cannot be accessed. The textbooks are very old and outdated. There are a lot of traditional resources such as flashcards, but this is one area that really limits teaching. Lastly, sometimes work will become busy with almost no hours in the day due to writing report cards. This happens about every two months. The kids are great and the Korean staff are extremely helpful in assisting newcomers to Korea. I would recommend this job for someone looking for an entry level position in Korea.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Come prepared to not have internet, a permanent phone number, or a bank account for approximately two months. This is due to immigration wait times to get an alien registration card and not the school.
Pros
  • Supportive
  • Reliable Pay
  • Fair work hours
Cons
  • Lack of multimedia support
  • Huge increase in workload every two months
  • Late work hours

Hi William,

We appreciate the kind words and also the feedback you have sent. We have sent you a personal email to discuss the inner workings of your school.

It is important to mention that most schools do require a good amount of work from their teachers when it comes to report cards, but as you mentioned, this is only every 2 months or so.

Please keep us posted on your progress or any other issues you may have. You know where to find us :)

Thanks again!

Travel and Teach

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Jaemin at Travel and Teach for his exceptional assistance in finding me a teaching job in Korea. Jaemin's dedication, professionalism, and expertise were instrumental in making the entire process seamless and stress-free. He took the time to understand my preferences and needs, and he matched me with the perfect teaching position. Thanks to Jaemin's help, I am now embarking on an exciting journey teaching abroad. I highly recommend Jaemin and Travel and Teach to anyone seeking teaching opportunities in Korea. Thank you once again for your outstanding support!

Warm regards,
CJ Toner

I feel like Travel and Teach is a hidden gem amongst many other recruiters

The recruiter I was in contact with was very nice, very sweet, and he helped me with many many things which made the entire daunting like process much easier. I would definitely recommend T&T for anyone wanting to teach English specifically in South Korea. After applying, I literally found myself teaching English in South Korea. Wild man, wild. The hagwon that I was hired by is also very nice. The director is a really nice guy who has.been very helpful. The other teachers have been very helpful as well and silly. The kids all love them. Of course it's not perfect but you've gotta take the ups with the downs. I could very well see myself staying for a full contract or more. I think for a couple of years at least.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Getting use to understandingredients basic phrases while shopping or eating out was a challenge at first but with a little practice and some listening practice, you'll pick it up pretty quickly.
Pros
  • So much help
  • Resources
  • Knowledge
Cons
  • Initiation is a little slow

Could not have been better!

Throughout the entire process of getting a visa, setting up interviews, all the way to boarding the plane, I received so much help and support from Jaemin and the Travel and Teach team. There's a lot that goes into preparing to live and work abroad, and I would have been lost without T&T. I am into my first week of teaching and alread love my school, the students, my coworkers, and the area where I love. Jaemin helped set up my arrival in Korea as well as traveling from the airport to my current city. I also got loads of helpful information about things like setting up my phone to use internationally, getting an ARC and ID card, and getting in contact with the current foreign teachers at my school. I found out that the other foreign teachers also worked with Travel & Teach and had similarly great experiences. Couldn't be happier!

Pros
  • Quick response times
  • Considerate of applicants wants/needs
  • Extremely informative

Best Support and Easy Process!

I've been working with Jaemin for a few months and it's been such an easy and fun process! It was really nice to have one person dedicated to helping me from start to finish through the process. Jaemin has always provided fast and thorough responses, often anticipating questions before I could even ask them. He set up multiple interviews for me to shop around different jobs and provided all the information I could ask for to make the best decision for my wants/needs. After I chose a job Jaemin/Travel and Teach helped with me through the entire visa process and sent over a packet to help aid me with the move. Everything has been very organized and easy. Travel and Teach removed all the stress I had about starting this new adventure. I can't recommend them enough!

Pros
  • Fast Response Time
  • Informative
  • Helpful

Questions & Answers

Hi Cazedi, Unfortunately the Korean government requires people to have a BA in order to get a working visa.

HI Leila, There are only 7 countries that South Korea will grant teaching visas to. They are: Canada, the US, the UK, Ireland, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. If you are not a citizen of one of these countries, there unfortunately is no chance for you to get a teaching visa for Korea.

Hi Angel, Yes, we are still active :) I don't see your application, so please feel free to submit it again here: https://www.travelandteachrecruiting.com/apply-now/

Hi Alicia, You only need to have a Bachelor's degree in order to teach in Korea, so age isn't a factor.
