Wonderful Time in Korea

Working with Bradley and Yumi at TEIK was an absolute delight. I was nervous about moving to a different country and the process seemed intimidating, but TEIK made it all easy, smooth, and fast. Bradley and Yumi help you every step of the way and make everything as simple as possible.

Even after I was placed at my school as a teacher, they stayed available to help me with anything, even random questions about fun places to visit in Korea.

In addition, they host a networking event twice a year for all the new teachers that they've worked with, which is a godsend and allows you to make new friends in your new country. I'm literally at a bar drinking beer with Bradley right now!

I highly recommend TEIK to anyone considering teaching English in Korea!

Made coming to Korea so easy!!

I was really worried about moving to Korea and not being able to speak the language however Brad and TEIK made the experience so easy. He was so friendly and metaphorically held my hand through the whole process, every time I had a question he got back to me so quickly. He matched me with schools that suited me and I had one interview and accepted! I love teaching here in Korea it’s truly such a rewarding time as you feel like you are contributing to something so much bigger than yourself. And also there are so many fun things to do and eat here!

Great environment, Great support!

I had a fantastic experience with TEIK to secure an English teaching position in South Korea. Their expertise and guidance throughout the entire process were invaluable. They provided personalized support, from polishing my resume to preparing for interviews, ensuring I was well-prepared every step of the way. Thanks to their efforts, I landed my dream job and couldn't be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend TEIK to anyone seeking teaching opportunities abroad.

So fun!

This job has been so much fun I love it so much. If you like working with kids it will be the perfect job for you. It is so rewarding to see the students in your class grow and develop and how they look up to you. I also love my job outside of work, lots of partying, eating, and hiking. Working in a hagwon gives you a great comfortable introduction to Korea where you have other foreigners around you who can help as much (or as little) as you want. Giving you freedom to either set out on your own or enjoy a new country with no worry.

Teaching English in S. Korea

This is going on my 3rd year living in South Korea as an ESL instructor and it's still going great! I've even switched schools recently and the transition was smooth.

TEIK has been a great resource to get the help needed during my stay. I've recommended all my friends and coworkers to Brad and he has been a great help making them feel secure with the school selections.

If you're feeling insecure about anything work related as well as not work related, Brad is there to help you. He's just an email message away.

TEIK

Absolutely wonderful experience. Everything was so smooth and effortless. Yumi and Bradley do a wonderful job finding schools that fit what you are looking for. I made sure that they knew I wanted schools that would allow me to bring my dog and every interview I had, they let me know that they knew I wanted to bring my dog and they were completely okay and would accommodate. Honestly would not go through any other recruiter. I had 4 interviews within a week of speaking with Yumi and Bradley and in the areas I requested.

Better than I've Had

I worked at previous academies in Korea that were just not always the best. I experienced racism, poor pay and some bad conditions. However, coming to this new academy through TEIK was much better than my first experience in Korea. The job pays much better. The workload is the usual with less stakes involved compared to before and Bradley has been very helpful in making the process very helpful! I would recommend his program the most. I even got my friend to speak with Bradley about a placement and he enjoyed speaking with him!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Dealing with my background check being denied so much was stressful but with the confidence and help of Bradley and my director, I was able to get everything working so I could arrive in Korea on time.

TEIK Busan

I’ve had a great experience working with Bradley. He was super helpful making sure I got all of the documents I needed to teach in Korea. Bradley was also very helpful answering any questions. The school I work with is a perfect match for my personality and teaching style. The visa process was made really easy thanks to the help of Bradley. The sense of community you get when you apply with his help is amazing. The location I am in completely fits my personality and I’ve met so many like minded people and I have made great friends.
