Go for the Won, stay for the ...everything else!

Korea is a first stop for many ESL teachers, and why wouldn't it be? No TESL requirement, decent benefits, short term contracts. What they don't tell you is you are also signing on for a once in a lifetime opportunity to teach wonderful students, make great friends, eat some of the world's best food, and get a peak at a truly unique culture.

EPIK makes the transition an easy one with a fantastic orientation, fun events held for teachers throughout the year, and a good track record for making sure teachers get paid and are taken care of. With these things out of the way, all you need to worry about is finding the best place to eat live octopus and snap up some aju-ma photos.

Anyong!
