TEFL Courses & Certification in 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.

When 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!
