Teach English in Korea-Work with Expats!

As someone who taught in Korea using the services of Teachenglishinkorea, I can say that I had an amazing experience. I had a lot of fun and met great people, and although I did get homesick at times, I really love Korea. Of course, I missed my dog, my boyfriend, and baked foods covered with cheese, but other than that, I was doing just fine. I loved my school, and the kids were so cute! I want to thank Brad for all that he did to make this experience of a lifetime possible. Overall, I would highly recommend Teachenglishinkorea to anyone who wants to teach in Korea and have a unique and rewarding experience.

Hey Brad! All is fantastic in Seoul. I am situated at a Kindergarten school on the east of Seoul just below the Han River. Teaching young children is a delight and immensely rewarding. While there can be challenges, it is generally a wonderfully fun experience and all part of the adventure. I teach three classes throughout a typical workday. The environment and organization of my school are great! The school design resembles something out of Disney World or Alice in Wonderland and it is the perfect environment for small children.

Additionally, my school is newly constructed so everything is neat and clean. Resources and materials are also fantastic, making teaching much easier. The curriculum from iSponge is awesome; lessons are detailed and well laid out. Generally, workdays are fluid and relatively low-stress. I am so happy where I teach! Seoul itself is a fantastic place to be. The city seems to have a pulse with energy and life that is easy to identify with. People are friendly and there is never a shortage of things to see and do. Admittedly the food was hard for me to get used to initially, I have now found my footing and have several local restaurants I'm accustomed to visiting often. One of my greatest surprises was how clean the city was, especially the subway. The subway is simply an engineering marvel and is one of my favorite aspects of Seoul. The city is great and there is always something going on. New York may be the city that never sleeps but Seoul is the city that never stops. Thank you for your dedicated services to get me to this country. I was thoroughly impressed with your hard work, dedication, and approachability. I've heard many troubling statements about the process to get here and it was comforting to know I was in good hands with your services. I would recommend you to anyone interested in teaching in Korea. Thanks again for all your hard work!

Hey Brad! Finally got some pictures of my students and I will be sure to send more soon! It's been great so far, better even than what I expected. I got REAL lucky with Kids College (or so other people from other Hogwans tell me). It's all thanks to you!
I really can't thank you enough for all your help with my placement, visa process and such. More pictures of my school will be sent as soon as I take them and post them. I've met some really good people here and I'm having soooo much fun!

Thanks again Brad!!

Hey Brad.

It's definitely been an adjustment process. but I think we're done walking around with our mouths open amazed at our surroundings and trying to recover from jetlag. Thank you so much for this opportunity and for placing Phil and me! The school has been treating us very well. I'm in kindergarten and Phil is upstairs teaching the older kids.
Since we have such different schedules, they've agreed to put us in separate apartments, which is great for us. Actually, the assistant director is taking us out to Costco tonight in Seoul so we can get stocked on the necessities...cool lady. The whole staff has been wonderful in showing us around and making sure me feel comfortable and at home.

Talk soon bro! Pat Brown, Bucheon City, Gyeonggido

Hey Brad

Thanks so much for setting Leela and me up here in Nonhyun dong, Incheon. It is really nice to be here and we have settled in very nicely. We have a wonderful little apartment which is working out just fine. There is a nice gym that we joined right nearby, which is perfect for the winter times. Our director is a very nice guy, and we are really enjoying the work. Working with the kids is the most rewarding aspect of our work. The students are fun and it is nice to work with a smile on my face. The neighborhood is very fun to explore, and there are also some nice native teachers working at a school close to ours. You have been so helpful throughout this whole process, both before and during. I look forward to meeting up with you next time you come to Incheon.

Thanks Brad,

I know it's been awhile since I've contacted you. I can't believe seven months have passed so quickly. It's been a wild ride. There have been several ups and a few downs, but all have been great learning lessons. My daughter Madison has enjoyed the experience as well. The language has been more difficult to learn than expected, but part of the problem has been that have kept so busy with home-schooling, traveling to Thailand and China, and all over Korea, volunteering at an orphanage, and working on TEFL certification.
Loved the work you did for me and my daughter in obtaining my first contract and in helping to sort out a few problems with my school and apartment. The kids are really amazing and I love working with them. I've enjoyed the area I've been living in, but would like to try another area and I look forward to working with you again to find my next position.
Thanks much,

I had a general idea of what to expect when I chose to come to Korea to teach English, but the actual experience is far different from anything you could imagine. Whatever your goal in your stay, it can be easily accomplished, while gaining more that you might not realize until reflection.

I would highly recommend establishing what you want from your experience, listing what you need to make your stay the best possible, and utilizing agents like Brad Brennan who have been there themselves, and are making themselves open to help you get the most out of your time abroad. Once you make the decision, I can guarantee it will not be one you will regret.

Hey, Brad, Greetings from Daegu! It's been one month so far and I absolutely love my job. The management staff here is awesome and they're incredibly friendly. Even the schools that I work at are fun and the kids are so damn cute. Thank you so much for helping me land this gig. Sorry this is so short, but I have to do a little lesson planning before meeting my friend's downtown for a few drinks. I'll definitely keep in touch, and I'll definitely recommend your company to anyone I meet who's interested in coming over here. It's an adventure I know that I'll never forget.

Thanks again,

P.S. - I've attached a pic of me and my advanced class from my Elementary public school. The girls were a little camera shy, as most 6th grade girls are, but I managed to get most of them. Lol.
