EnglishWork

English work were extremely helpful from the very beginning. Straight after I sent my resume, Michael was in contact and set up an interview. He was able to find a school that matched everything I'd asked for.
From that moment I was supported on getting documents, booking flights and met at the airport on arrival. The constant support was reassuring.
My slp school was also very welcoming and supported me through ought my entire 12 months in Korea. I couldn't recommend them enough.
Very trustworthy and reliable, made me feel safe and answered emails very quickly helping with any concerns that I had.

The placement and communication from Micheal were great and quick. Sometimes it's hard to make the decision to move to a different country and teach but it's really fun. I have made lots of friends, and some enemies too though. The process was quick too, but a little stressful. Settling in Korea is stressful as well since it's very different than the USA. Everything is way more secure so phone and bank plans take a long time to set up so you need to be patient. And always ask as many questions as possible.

The job is fun, I like my students and I get by with my little Korean. There are some community classes in some cities and lots of Facebook groups to meet new people. It's hard to make Korean friends unless you speak Korean. There also isn't that much vacation time and the hours are about the same as a full-time job in the USA.

I also recommend contacting some people who have left reviews and asking them for their opinion. And going for placement in a smaller city as well. It's so easy to travel in Korea and is so much fun to go see new places on the weekends. It's a very small country so it's very convenient to get around.

Michael Kim was very helpful in getting me placed at a wonderful company with good benefits and available housing. I was given an interview with a school right away and found the perfect job for me! I was then assisted through the process of acquiring all the necessary documents to work here. I was picked up at the airport quickly and taken to a nice facility to wait out my quarantine time. Mr. Kim was available to talk whenever I needed him, and I felt very well provided for upon entering the country!

I had a very good experience at my school. My coworkers were all very nice and helpful. Since I don't speak Korean very well, there were always questions from me and everyone was always willing to help me even if it was with google translate. My school had all the materials we needed and it wasn't hard to get used to the material. The students were lovely too. There's always the occasional difficult one but they were never rude, mean, or disrespectful to teachers. It is hard to say goodbye to the kids after being their teacher for a year. That's one of the more difficult parts of the job.

I would recommend this kind of job (hagwon teacher) to people with a passion for teaching. It is a tough job at times and you are expected to give it your all. There's always someone to help but at the end of the day, you are the one responsible to do the job. I wouldn't recommend the job to people who want to travel often around the country. You only get 1 week of vacation twice a year, so those were the only times that I had to travel. BUT those 2 weeks were spent to the max! As I said before, you will be working A LOT (sometimes even on the weekends), so those 2 weeks are very needed to decompress (you might not want to travel around but rest instead).

As for my experience with my recruiter, he was great! he gave me a list of tips to do better at my interview and they were super helpful. After getting my job offer, I had a lot of questions about my contract. My recruiter asked all my questions to the school and made sure that they answered them for me. He was always respectful and cheerful with me so I felt very comfortable communicating with him. Overall, my recruiter did a great job helping me find and get a job overseas. I wouldn't have gotten my job without him.

This is a very good program. I am very happy to get some teaching experience. Michael has been an excellent help. I really like the assistance provided to teachers. He very helpful during the application process all the way until I got my visa and booked my flight to the new country. He was quick to respond if I had questions and addressed all of my concerns. I would highly recommend this opportunity. I apartment is very close to my school. So far I am also pleased with my location, housing, and environment.
