Best decision I made was joining this program!:)
April 16, 2025by: Asia Marie Hampson - United StatesProgram: XploreAsia TESOL + Placement Program in Costa RicaThis program was fun, informative, challenging,rewarding, and mind opening all in one. The staff and teams working to ensure all students were accommodated, housed, and looked after during the program was amazing! They are extremely inclusive and give you real life experience in teaching online and in person. The orientation week is an immersive experience where they show you The countries culture,foods, local actiities and customs. Our instructor was very knowledgeable from real life experience and was actually a student like myself prior to teaching us. Overall the experience has been amazing and I'm excited for my next adventure with Xplore.

Best Experience I Could Ask For
March 29, 2025by: Laurece Prendergast - CanadaProgram: XploreAsia TESOL + Placement Program in Costa RicaRelocating to another country is a monumental endeavor, filled with uncertainties and challenges. Thankfully, Xplore was by my side every step of the way, transforming what could have been an overwhelming process into a seamless and enriching experience. From the outset, their team demonstrated unwavering dedication, patiently addressing my countless questions—no matter how many times I asked. Their commitment ensured that I never felt left behind or unsupported. A special acknowledgment goes to Jordayne, my liaison at Xplore. She consistently encouraged me to step beyond my comfort zone and provided steadfast support throughout the transition. Her genuine care extended beyond professional obligations; she regularly checked in on my well-being, ensuring I felt secure and confident in my new environment. The journey of relocating is not for the faint-hearted, especially when juggling multiple responsibilities. However, Xplore's meticulous attention to detail and personalized approach made my transition remarkably smooth. Their placement program was exceptional. While they encouraged openness to various job opportunities, their dedication and hard work resulted in securing a position that exceeded my expectations. I am now part of a school community that I deeply cherish, surrounded by inspiring teachers and enthusiastic students.I am profoundly grateful to Xplore for being an integral part of this life-changing journey. Their support and professionalism have left an indelible mark on my relocation experience.
It's been great!
March 28, 2025by: Jade Luke - United KingdomProgram: XploreAsia TESOL + Placement Program in Costa RicaI'm so glad I decided to start this journey with Xplore! Jordayne, Didi and Thando were extremely helpful with keeping me on track with documentation requirements, interview prep and decision making once job offers started to come in. The process was smooth and easy. I only did the placement part as I already had an online TEFL Certification, but having the orientation week to get to know other people in the same position was invaluable. The activities during the orientation week were amazing and gave you an insight to Costa Rican life. The in-country team were great too, Honey and Dustin were extremely welcoming and available to give advice whenever needed. Highly recommend Xplore Asia!
