Korvia-One of the Best
Ratings
Review
Upon researching for recruiters in Korea, I decided to go with Korvia. After I applied through their website, Daisy was the one to contact and interview me. She asked detailed questions, so I felt a bit stressed, but I later realized that was to weed out any applicants ill-suited to teach in Korea, at least from a professional standpoint. In the next few months, we corresponded via email, and slowly started to begin applying for schools. Of course, I lacked the necessary documents (FBI took forever, school didn't send out diploma until August), but Daisy was very patient with me throughout the process and answered any questions I had. Also, she was optimistic, which helped me get through this process. As I acquired my documents mid-summer, Ciena started contacting me in lieu of Daisy. Ciena had sent me several positions via email, but I decided to wait it out for a better position. I was about to apply for a business English position with Ciena's recommendation, but I suddenly got an offer for a public school position. Two days later, I had signed my contract and was set to arrive in Korea by the end of August. During this process, I'd been slow at responding some days as well as being picky, but Ciena was very patient with me and answered my emails in a timely manner. My only reservation about Korvia is that they're new in terms of working with hagwons, so the hagwon positions offered are limited. Overall, my experience with Ciena and Daisy were excellent, and I would definitely work with Korvia again.
