GIVE IT A GO!

It's been 3 years now, and time does fly. There are ups (beautiful scenery, friendly people, rewarding students) and downs (last minute changes, mindless paper work, irritating co-workers) but it's a good job.

EPIK is a great program if you are new to travelling, or fresh out of college. BUT If you are an inexperienced teacher, make sure you put the effort into your job after you arrive at your school. The program offers some training but it's up to you to pick up the slack. It's a fast learning curve and if you can't keep up, your students and co-workers with see it.

EPIK has great resources, and co-ordinators that can help out with teaching or administrative problems. I would recommend the program to anyone that is eager to learn and ready to dive into the ESL world the Korean public schools have to offer.
