Amazing program!!!!

The EPIK program is honestly such an amazing opportunity. Having housing provided and all government benefits that public employees have is such a wonderful thing to have when making such a big transition to a foreign place. Having the support of a co-teacher as well is a very nice benefit as well!! Most importantly for me though, I just wanted to highlight how amazing and easy it has been working with RVF international!! The staff was so wonderful with helping me with the ENTIRE process from start to finish. I am 100% I would not have been as motivated to continue the application process if it were not for the help of RVF!! I would recommend the EPIK program to anyone, and I would double recommend working with and applying through RVF international!!

In February of 2026 I decided I wanted to apply to teach English in South Korea for a year, and decided I would specifically apply using RVF International to help me. It was a great decision to use them because my advisor, Harrison Fowler, was very prompt in his responses to my questions, very encouraging about my application progress (as it does take some months before you are fully accepted into the program and there lots of steps in the application process), and always proactive about informing me on my application process and the next steps after passing a phase. He also included very specific, informative documents and examples of the application process phases/steps. I would not have been able to apply as easily or confidently without RVF International.
