Avoid at all cost

The E2 visa is very inconvenient you have to do health check and renew it every year plus you cannot get another job without your employer permission. Very limited in the amount of jobs you could take.
This is not a good program avoid at all cost. There is no holiday and the pay is not high. Go to some other countries except Korea. The cost of living is very high and it was not worth the time to finish the contract. The salary you get is almost all gone after you subtract the cost of living. The apartment was not clean there are some areas that have mold.

Pros
  • No pros
Cons
  • No holiday
  • Rude boss and does not read your messages
  • Mold in appartment

Review on Korea

My assistance via Go Overseas was helpful. I do believe that I could have benefited more in terms of payment benefits compared to people who are doing a similar work to me, but my housing is above and beyond those who are doing a similar work to me. In terms of the school, I believe that in many ways I could have received more support. I really enjoy the city I stay in and overall, I am happy I had this opportunity, along with all the ups and downs. If you plan on coming to Korea, remember to do your research and be open-minded!

Reliable

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.

Pros
  • Experience new culture
  • Travel
Cons
  • Language barrier
  • Few holidays

Teaching english in Cheongju

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.

Pros
  • learning more about the world and building yourself
  • meeting people from different cultures
  • health insurance, walkability, safe
Cons
  • stressing out over how hard it is to get anything done in korea without jumping through hoops to identify yourself
  • little to no vacation to visit home
  • low pay making it hard to save money

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!
