XploreAsia Teach South Korea & In-Country TEFL/TESOL Program

I am very glad to have begun my career in South Korea with Xplore Asia and its staff. I was nervous to be in a new country and find my footing, but with this program, I was able to slowly immerse myself and try new things daily. If I had any questions pertaining to teaching or personal interests, the staff was always there to answer questions. The course itself was very enjoyable and personable. I learned a lot of useful things — and although they may not be used in EVERY school (i.e. lesson plans) they are still important to know. If you are concerned about coming into a new culture and having little to no experience teaching, I wholeheartedly recommend Xplore Asia!

I had an exceptional experience with XploreAsia in my journey to becoming an English teacher abroad. From the initial consultation to relocating from South Africa to South Korea, their support was unparalleled. They expertly handled all the paperwork, making the complex process of moving abroad smooth and stress-free. What truly stood out was their ongoing support; even after arriving in South Korea, their team continued to be a valuable resource, ensuring a seamless transition into my new role and environment. XploreAsia's dedication and professionalism have made this life-changing adventure not only achievable but truly enjoyable. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to teach English overseas.

What an incredible experience! From completely the course to finally teaching in korea , I have had nothing but support , kindness and resources to aid me in my teaching journey.

I found the most perfect place and they are still checking in with me and offering information which is incredible! Thank you so much for making my teaching dream come true . The company are so friendly and supportive.

I’m Jessica, originally from South Africa, and I’ve always dreamed of working abroad. XploreAsia made that dream a reality by helping me secure an incredible teaching position in South Korea. From the very start, their support was exceptional. They meticulously screened potential schools, provided thorough interview preparation, and guided me through the visa process with ease.

Now, after a week in South Korea, I’m thrilled with my placement. The area is fantastic, and I’m truly enjoying my new school. XploreAsia’s expertise and dedication have made this transition smooth and exciting. I’m extremely happy with the outcome and highly recommend their services to anyone looking to teach abroad.

This was a very fun experience! Everyone was very nice and helpful. I would recommend doing this to others. The only problem is that the program messed up some of my visa stuff which lost me 700 USD and a week in a different country. Other than that it was fun. The best part is the friends you can make during and after the program. Also if I hadn't had this program to ease me into Korean culture it would have been very tough. I really enjoyed my time but make sure to stay on them about your visa documents.

I just completed a TESOL course in Incheon, South Korea. I had a fantastic time on the course.

Before coming to Korea, I knew I wanted to do an in-person course instead of an online one. It was important to me that I have the opportunity to build a network of friends in the country where I would be working before I started plugging away at my job. I was able to make friends while on the course and had a good time while doing it.

The staff at Xplore do a great job of fostering a fun environment. Before the course starts, there's a weeklong orientation, during which the people on the course are given guided tours in Seoul, a taekwondo class, and some rudimentary Korean lessons, to name but three activities. This time is super useful to get over jetlag, meet your peers, and begin to acclimate to the different culture and climate.

The staff are also very nice and helpful. Carla, our primary instructor on the course, was funny, personable, and most importantly, really good at her job. We all learned a lot from her. Emma, the person representing the visa and placement team at the school, was also a pleasure to work with. Emma kept us all informed on how our visas were progressing and was an invaluable liaison with the schools at which we had been placed. Enzo, the manager of the course, was a real lifesaver. He welcomed us all to Korea, made sure we were settled, showed us the ropes, and dealt with the small problems we experienced. But most importantly, when I had a problem with my visa caused by a delay in receiving a document, Enzo was able to provide me with some very helpful options.

I wholeheartedly recommend Xplore's TESOL program in South Korea and hope that you will have as much fun on it as I did.

This was hands down the best experience I could have hoped for! I learned a lot and had fun while doing it. The staff were absolutely amazing.

This program was pretty great! The first week was orientation. It prepared everyone for any kind of culture shock and it gave us enough time to get settled before the TESOL course goes into full swing. The staff and everyone involved made it a great experience, we learned hangul, went in a tour to visit a few locations and many more experiences. Once TESOL officially started, we got hands on training, worked in a classroom setting, and taught classes with students. I couldn't ask for a better way to prepare me for my future!
