So far so good!

I think moving to a new place on the other side of the world is a crazy experience for anybody and I know when I first arrived here I was a little worried my first few days. Actually I have only been here just over a month now but I am loving life so far. My school is very enjoyable and there is a great social scene here in Incheon. I had some small problems and confusions when I was applying for my visa but actually travel and teach really helped me out and walked me through everything so it ended up being problem free. So, thanks!

Great Laughs, Great Time!

I have been here a while now and really settled in, Korea is a very safe and enjoyable place with friendlyu locals. My school have been very welcoming and even though I don't have a lot of previous teaching experience they provided easy to use materials and I got lots of advice from Niko and the group back home. There is a big community here of locals and ex-pats alike. Just don't go crazy with the soju haha.

What would you improve about this program?
It might not be possible depending on the school but it would have been cool to have some samples of the teaching materials before arriving, I like to do my homework haha. Apart from that no problems!

We had a great experience with Travel and Teach!

My husband and I had a great experience with Travel and Teach Recruiting and we would definitely recommend them! We contacted Shane via email to ask general questions and he helped guide us through the whole process of coming to teach in Korea! He was very responsive, prompt and helpful with any questions we had. The process to get our visas together was long and tedious and we're so glad that we had someone to walk us through every step. We truly feel like we couldn't have done this without him! He set us up in a school we feel very lucky to be at. We just started our fourth week so it's still very new to us but we're having a wonderful time so far. It's also extremely reassuing knowing that we still have help from Travel and Teach if anything comes up in the future. We're so happy to be here!

What would you improve about this program?
We can't think of any.

Woo!

My boyfriend and I both decided to teach in South Korea for a year. Our recruiter, Niko, was very helpful finding us a job! We were worried that we wouldn't be able to find a couple position but he successfully found one. We ended up accepting an offer with Cheongna SLP. Niko answered all of our questions and even made sure we were doing well once we settled in. We have only worked for a month here so far, however, we love it. It is a lot of work but the school really does love the students and cares about their studies and that's the sort of school we were looking for!

My time so far in South Korea

Niko was with me every step of the way and was very helpful from day one. He made everything seem so easy.It's only been about 3 weeks, but I love it so far. The kids are really well behaved and really seem to like me. The communication is great between the native and foreign teachers. I just think there should be more training for the job. I would gladly recommend this program to anyone interested in teaching abroad.

What would you improve about this program?
Add some sort of standardized training program for the type of school each teacher will be teaching at.

Program

I'm actually an early childhood educator. I've always had an interest in traveling so I decided to go through Travel and Teach Recruiting Inc. Travel and Teach helped with finding jobs to my interest (and degree), completing paperwork and most of all providing traveling guides to introduce me to the country and program.
Travel and Teach made sure I was prepared for the trip and even did a follow up after I arrived.

Quick placement

I did an interview with Shane, and a week later he found a hagwon that was looking for a new teacher for me. I interviewed with the director, got the job the next day and left for Korea the next month. You have to gather a lot of documents, but the travelandteach checklist makes it easy to keep track of. Shane provided me with a lot of information and answered my questions promptly. He helped me get decently priced traveler's insurance and gave me instructions for what to do once I arrived in Korea. Having never traveled alone before I was extremely nervous, but thanks to the instructions everything went smoothly. Some hagwons can be sketchy but my hagwon director always pays us on time. I enjoy my job and have decided that I want a career in teaching ESL. If you are looking for a hagwon job, I would recommend travel and teach!

T&T was great!

It can be a nerve-wracking process if you don't have the right team of recruiters with excellent ties to foreign schools. But Jennifer was helpful from start to finish, and knew all my questions before I asked them. It was great to have someone working for me 24/7 here at home. I would totally recommend Travel and Teach Recruiting to anyone consider a gap year or a working holiday, or who just wants to experience how other cultures live.

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.
