A smooth path to South Korea
July 04, 2025by: Federica Botindari - ItalyProgram: Xplore South Korea TEFL Program with Guaranteed PlacementI had always wanted to move to South Korea, but the idea really scared me at first. Everything felt complicated, mostly for getting documents ready, and looking for a job. That’s why I decided to choose Xplore Asia. My coordinator, Shannon, was super helpful from the beginning, and very nice! She answered all my questions quickly and guided me through every step. What really made a difference was that I got a job before arriving in Korea, which made everything less stressful. Now I’m here, teaching, and having a positive experience. I’m glad I took the leap.
A Launchpad to Teaching Abroad: An Honest Review of the South Korea TEFL Course
June 29, 2025by: Evelyn Uhlir - United StatesProgram: Xplore South Korea TEFL Program with Guaranteed PlacementWhen I first started exploring the idea of teaching English abroad, I was a little overwhelmed by the process and the number of TEFL programs available. After a recommendation from a friend, I decided on Xplore Asia's South Korea TEFL course - and it turned out to be a fairly rewarding decision. The instructors were professional, friendly, and always willing to answer questions. Although the structure of the course was a lot the handle at times, it was manageable and still gave me time to explore South Korea during my stay. I greatly appreciated the team's passion for introducing Korea's culture to us, as it set the tone for what teaching there may look like. The teaching structure and practicums were well organized and clearly defined objectives for me to work towards. By the last practicum, I felt prepared and confident in how to lead a classroom in South Korea. Overall, if you are curious about teaching in South Korea and want more than just a TEFL certificate, Xplore Asia offers both credibility and a life-changing experience! The course gave me the tools and confidence I needed to step into a Korean classroom. I would highly recommend for first-time teachers - like me - or travelers looking for a guided way to start their journey in South Korea!
Settling in well

I always wanted to go abroad, to work and make memories simultaneously; it was always my goal, even since high school. But, I didn't act on it until a few months after I graduated from university. I made the decision to go abroad during my third and final year of my degree. I realized that I loved what I was studying, but needed to find myself, my passion, and fulfill my goal to go abroad. That is when I came across the teach in Korea programme. I felt like it ticked all the checkboxes and that if there was any opportunity to work and travel, this was it.

Through high school and university I had the opportunity to travel to countries in Europe and Africa. These first experiences with travel and new cultures were exhilarating and far too short. After graduating university, I wanted to pursue travelling and felt drawn to living abroad over short-term travel. I felt the need to branch out of my comfort zone and experience a new way of life.
