Teaching Abroad in South Korea!

January 14, 2025by: Karime Rodriguez - United StatesProgram: Teach English in South Korea + Rent-Free Housing with CIEE!

CIEE has given me a great support system and have truly prepared me for working in South Korea through EPIK. When you apply for any job, especially one in a new country, there can be alot of stress and confusion. However, CIEE made sure that that stress would be kept at a minimum through consistant support and advice. When you apply to teach abroad, you always have the option to apply on your own but i truly belive that had i applied on my own, i would not have made it this far and i definelty would not have been as prepared as i am. Throug the application process, CIEE helps you step by step with help on the application, visa application, and even tips with interviews and so much more as they provide assistance though the staff and as well as a special canvas page with preperation pages. Whenever you have any questions, even the silly ones, someone on the staff is ready to reply with an answer (usually immediatly or within a few hours!), so you know someone will always have your back! The overall bets thing as well has been the support in and out of the country, as CIEE provides a support staff before your arrival and even during your time here in Korea through their CIEE Teach Abroad Staff who are here to help you adjust to life or whenever you need a hand. Overall, i reccomened going though CIEE if you plan to teach abroad if you want to be the best prepared candiate you can be.
