Program Reviews

Working with SeoulESL was one of the easiest companies I have encountered when looking to move and work in South Korea. The SeoulESL staff made walking me through the process of moving very simple and were always an email away if I had any questions. I love the school and the area they matched me with is a perfect fit. There is lots to do while only being a short subway ride into Seoul. If you want to come and teach in South Korea SeoulESL is a great first step. I highly recommend you take a leap of faith if you are still unsure if this is the path for you. You may be surprised at the outcome.

Grace and her staff were very helpful during the hiring process. They helped me prepare for my interviews and suggested suitable jobs for me.

I appreciated that they were positive and gave me all of the necessary info for getting the visa done.

I went to Fukuoka, Japan to get my Korean entry visa and they contacted the embassy there to make sure everything went smoothly.

They were always polite and replied quickly to my questions. Our communications were all done in English and that went well.

I would recommend using their services.

Seoul ESL helped me out so much in my recruiting and hiring process! They were very supportive and helped me every step of the way. Grace is a wonderful and very kind recruiter. She was very dedicated from the start and communicated with me often. I would definitely work with Seoul ESL again. They constantly check up on me as well to see how I’m doing in Korea which gives me comfort when being in a new city alone. I couldn’t have done this without them. Thank you Seoul ESL and Thank you so much Grace! :)

I was initially nervous registering for a placement program, but SeoulESL is the best of the best! They’re extremely friendly, send you all the resources you need, and communicating with them is super easy. If you’re looking to teach in South Korea please consider working with SeoulESL!! Best decision i’ve ever made. Follow your dreams and go overseas today to teach English! You will not regret this decision. South Korea is a dream and i’m so stoked to finally be here :)

It can be quite scary to move to a foreign country by yourself, especially for a first-time traveler. However, SeoulESL gave me peace of mind by answering questions promptly and effectively. Grace was sure to send me any relevant info to prepare me and made sure to help me stay on track for the big move. With their help during the interview process, I got set up with a wonderful school offering me great benefits. Even during the Visa application process, Grace provided me with helpful information. After moving to Korea, Grace continued to stay in touch with me and made sure nothing was wrong. Thank you for your hard work Grace, it was very comforting to have you guide me through this process.

Had such a smooth transition with my move to Seoul with this recruiter. They were extremely communicative and responded quickly between email exchanges whenever I had questions or concerns.

I would highly recommend using this recruiter because of how quickly they are to respond to messages. I feel like that is rare to find with other recruiters.

Since being at my new workplace, I am happy with where I am placed as well as the conditions of my apartment. It's in such a wonderful location and I couldn't be happier to call Seoul my new home.

Moving to a new country all by yourself can be terrifying, but SeoulESL made sure all of my concerns were answered quickly and efficiently so I had nothing to worry about. Even after settling down in Seoul, they made sure to check up on me and make sure no issues popped up. They are quick to get you set up with interviews and communicative during the visa process, which was very nice since I was new to obtaining a visa and didn’t know what to expect. Grace is very wonderful and informative about school systems, travel, and navigating Seoul depending on which area you’ve moved. Thank you, Grace!

Grace and her team from ESL Consulting were extremely helpful with guiding me through the job process. Grace was always quick to respond to any of my questions or concerns and helped me get my visa in time so I could still go on a holiday before moving to Korea. She always responded with a lot of kindness and thoughtfulness. Since I have arrived, she has also been regularly checking on me to make sure I feel comfortable and safe. I would highly recommend using ESL Consulting for other teachers looking for a teaching position in Korea.

Out of the few English teaching recruitment agencies based in South Korea that I contacted, Seoul ESL Consulting was the quickest to respond and provided the most helpful and detailed information right from the beginning. The people who assisted me through the daunting challenge of finding the right job for me in my first overseas teaching job were exceptionally responsive and informative. I would highly recommend this consulting agency for anyone wanting to teach in South Korea and have already recommended this agency to my friends who are interested in teaching in South Korea.

Working with SeoulESL to find a teaching position in South Korea was incredibly easy. They were easy to communicate with and helpful with every step in the process, and assisted me in finding a job that would allow me to start teaching even though I had very little practical experience.

They found a role for me and helped arrange an interview with the school, and shortly after I was offered the job! The entire process only took about 3 months. I left my previous job in June 2023, and was in South Korea by early October. They continue to check in to see how I'm doing, and I will definetely use them again if I need to seek out another teaching job within the country.
