I'm currently in my second year teaching in South Korea through GOE in the same position Korean Horizons helped me secure. Korean Horizons made everything from the very first steps in the application process, dealing with moving logistics, arriving in South Korea, and settling in very simple and straightforward. Alistair (of Korean Horizons) was very responsive, and went the extra mile to make the transition abroad as smooth as possible. I couldn't have asked for more support and communication than what he provided. If you're considering applying to teach in South Korea, I highly recommend going through Korean Horizons. You won't regret it!

It was not too long ago when I was too reading reviews on different recruiting agencies and now here I am! Choosing Korean Horizons to be apart of my journey to teach English in Korea was the best choice I made! Alistair was there from the beginning of the process to the very end and beyond. He guided me from filling out my application form to applying for my Visa. I cannot thank KH (Alistair) enough for all of his hard work, patience, dedication, commitment and his continued support throughout and beyond the whole process. If I had to somehow do this all over again, I would 1000% choose Korean Horizons. You won't regret it! :)

I am glad I chose to teach abroad with Korean Horizons! I feel comfortable knowing Alistair is there for me. He made the entire process enjoyable. Even during my time in Korea he made sure I was doing okay. The information he gave me made my experience more enjoyable. I am very happy with my time teaching abroad.

Alistair was extremely helpful during my application process with EPIK. I found it especially helpful to be able to practice for my interview with him beforehand. He was able to point out some things to me that I never would have thought about. I think he really helped me strengthen my application. He also made it easy to understand what information needed to be submitted and when and answered all of my questions quickly and clearly. I highly recommend Alistair and Korean Horizons as a recruiter.

There is no day that goes by that I'm not thankful for choosing Korean Horizons (KH) as my agency. If you are unsure on which agency to go with, I am here to tell you to choose KH and assure you that you won't regret that decision. Alistair was professional from the get go and went above and beyond to support us throughout this process. I appreciated his honesty and transparency with regards to the process of my application. I cannot even to begin to imagine how I would have made it into the EPIK program without Korean Horizons. I am here because of their relentless support and will be forever grateful.

But in this case I will gladly. KH or more specifically Alistair, did a great job of preparing me (and from what I've heard from other KH teachers, them as well) and making sure I had everything I needed to teach here in South Korea. Even when we got here he did not stop reaching out and making sure we knew he is around if you have any questions or need any support while you are in another country. I've spoken to other teachers that went through different agencies and they were a little jealous of what he does for us. I 100% would recommend KH to anyone that wanted to teach in South Korea. You will be taken care of that much is sure.

I can truthfully say that Alistair/Korean Horizons really is as great as everyone says. He works with you from the very first to the very last step of the entire process and is available all the time to answer questions or provide guidance. At some point, I was probably annoying with how many questions I was sending him, but he always replied quickly and kindly. The process can be daunting and difficult (and long!), but he makes it seem easy. The reason their success rate is so high is because Alistair really goes out of his way to make sure that you're fully prepared for each step as it comes, so I wasn't nearly as stressed about things like the interview as others were because I felt really prepared going into it. Another cool aspect of working with Korean Horizons is the community that you get to be a part of before you even come to Korea. It was so nice being able to meet a bunch of other teachers like me on social media (facilitated by Alistair) and then to arrive a day early and spend some time with them before we met EPIK and the other incoming teachers, and I felt like I made some really good friends that will stick with me during my time in Korea. I've had such a positive experience overall and I'm really thankful for all of Alistair's help. I really can't recommend Korean Horizons highly enough if you want to come work in South Korea!

When deciding to move to the other side of the world, it can feel nerve-wracking and somewhat overwhelming. But Alistair and Korean Horizons definitely helped to ease the overwhelmingness of everything. He answered all questions that I had and was always available when needed. He also ensured that all the documents that I sent were correct and that I was in the loop about the process, every step of the way. I would definitely recommend Korean Horizons for anyone that is interested in teaching in South Korea.

As the title says, I really cannot recommend Alistair from Korean Horizons enough. He is all you could ask for and more in regards to a recruiter for applying to EPIK. Alistair walks you through every stage of the process from the application to getting to the EPIK orientation. The EPIK process is long, complicated and stressful, but working with Alistair I have never felt like I lacked information, help or support! Honestly, if you are reading or have read these reviews you already know that Alistair is your guy!

He truly tries his best and doesn't give up on people, every step of the way he is ready to assist. He gives tips on just about everything from lesson planning to practicing the interview with you. You will for sure feel secure and ready to teach! So far I'm loving my placement in Dalseong-gun Daegu, I feel very comfortable and at home. Thank you Alistair I wouldn't of got here without your help! If you are needing a little extra support I would go with a recruiter and I cannot suggest Korean Horizons enough.

I thought about directly applying for a teaching position, but after going through the process with Korean Horizons, I realize exactly how much we have to accomplish before being considered for hire and even after that! Alistair kept me on track and provided a group that helps answer many questions we may have about the application process. I asked questions all the way up to the orientation date. I sure I would have been either lost or behind if I didn't have help. Now, I am at my school(s) and happy to start at the beginning of the school year!

Working with Alistair from Korean Horizons was hands down the best experience I could have hoped for. From the initial conversation, to the day I left on the bus for the Winter 2020 EPIK orientation, Alistair was there to not only encourage me, but to also put things into a realistic perspective.

He also is very communicative, both one on one and on the Facebook group.

Alistair from Korean Horizons has been the greatest help throughout the entire process Of teaching abroad , from my application , to the interview to answering any questions i may have had. I felt safe to ask questions and express concerns . You will truly feel like there is someone on your side rooting for you the entire time . I truly feel very lucky that i chose Korean Horizons. I never review anything but this was a really meaningful experience for me . If i had to go through it all again i wouldn't change anything . Alistair is the best !

This is my first trip going abroad to teach and it was very daunting at first. However, going through an agency such as Korean Horizons made it a seamless transition. They break everything down step-by-step which makes it fool proof. Even with the 1,000,000 questions you throw Alistair's way he finds a way to give you quick responses so you are not waiting around. I could not have imagined doing this all on my own and will only use agencies such as KH going forward. My only negative is with the EPIK program specifically as they ignored my preferences and gave me the complete opposite of what I was looking for. I get they can't accommodate everyone but I was one of the first people accepted for this intake. I'm also over an hour bus away from any other English teachers/ expats which is a bit disappointing but at least I am right near the beach! Other than that, it was a great experience.

Travelling half way across the world can be a very daunting task, but Korean Horizons really did help me immeasurably. Right from day 1 Alistair was there giving quick response to all my worried emails, help and preparation for the online interview, not to mention welcoming us to the airport and provided us an excellent stay in a hotel. If you are interested in teaching in Korea, the EPIK programme is undoubtedly the best place to do that, and Korean Horizons the best agency to access that programme with.

I decided to go with Korean Horizons because they always get back to the next day as soon as possible whenever you have a question or problem. Korean Horizon has been very helpful with the application process and giving the right information on what documents I needed and didn't need. The interview itself, I was ready for because I was able to do a practice run before hand. I got a lot of help information on what I should do and say and thanks to that I passed the interview stage and then got my placement. Korean Horizons has been with me every step of the way and even now i'm still getting help from Korean Horizon. I would definitely recommend, to go with Korean Horizon 100%. You'll learn a from them, I guarantee it.
