Why Use Travel and Teach
Packing your bags and taking off for a year or more to teach ESL in Korea is a very big decision to make, and we realize this. The next decision you need to make is who you are going to trust to get you the right teaching job so that you will have the best experience possible, and one without any hassles.
With a staff of a combined 12 years of experience teaching ESL in Korea, we are well aware of the dangers that exist with dishonest schools, directors and recruiters alike. To avoid problems that can sometimes occur with this experience, we make sure that the schools we choose to work with meet our standards. In order to do this, we have:
- Researched the school’s history, looking for reputation and financial stability
- Spoken with the directors, managers and head teachers of the school to learn about how they manage their school and their teachers
- Contacted current or former teachers to get their opinion of the school
We follow up with every teacher that we send to Korea soon after they start their new position, to see how they are adjusting as well to keep up to date information on the school and how it is running.

Why Use a Recruiter to Find a Job Teaching English in Korea?
The question should be ‘why not use a recruiter?’ Our service is completely free of charge – yes, completely free of charge – to all of our teachers! Our knowledge and expertise will be invaluable in preparing you for your time teaching and living in Korea.
If you were to obtain a job directly through a school, you need to ask yourself these questions:
- What would you do if you couldn’t properly communicate with the director or other Korean teachers at your school?
- What if there were issues with your school regarding added working hours, late payment, etc.?
- After arriving to teach ESL in Korea, what would you do if the details of the job that you accepted were not what you were promised?
- What if you need to come home unexpectedly? Would you receive all of the compensation that you are owed?
