South Korea is a popular and well-known destination for teaching English abroad.

Similar to most Asian countries, South Korea requires English teachers to be TEFL certified. Therefore, completing TEFL courses and TEFL certification in South Korea is an excellent way to get your foot in the door to your very first ESL teaching job abroad.

A smooth path to South Korea

I 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.
