- Hi everyone! I moved to Korea in the fall of 2023 to teach English as a foreign language with EPIK! In this video, I share a few of the pro's and con's(ish) of the EPIK program and moving to South Korea! I hope that you find this video and advice helpful. Good luck on your own adventures!

Thank you for this. This was very helpful. Can't wait to see more content from you!
Thank you!!
I love your energy, just watched your orientation video and am happy you adjusted well. It's very encouraging!!
thank you for this video, i’m actually in the process of doing my EPIK application for fall 2024, i’ve not seen many videos that talk about this/there are not a lot of them out there so thank you ☺️ 🙏
I’m so glad it was helpful and good luck!!
@@courtneyschapter1146 thank you :) will this be your only year on the program?
I’m not sure yet!! I’m still considering all my options for next year!
@@courtneyschapter1146 either way you will do great! I am so thankful once again for these videos they are a huge help and a great insight to an amazing program :)
Thank you SO much for sharing this! I'm hoping to join this fall and I'm getting nervous, this really helped clarify a lot of things. I have heard some negative things about work culture in SK with superiors being particularly harsh on new people, I wondered if you'd ever experienced this/ how much of an issue it is.
Hi! I’m so glad this video was helpful! I (thankfully) have not had any difficulties with superiors while working here!! My best advice though if this were to happen is that commutation is key especially while working in a different country with a foreign language! Most of the incidences I have either experienced, or heard about have stemmed from some form of miscommunication which lead to confusion! So communicating as clearly and openly as possible, I think is extremely helpful!
If you major in education do you still need your TEFL? I’m triple double majoring and having a minor. With the combination being Korean, Education, and Psychology. Depending on the college and programs is which I’m majoring in and the exact name of the major.

great video.
quick question - i’ve seen people say that you don’t need a tefl certificate as long as you have a college degree in anything. is the tefl unique to epik? do you know if the tefl certificate is needed through any recruiter or does it depend? thanks!
Thank you! And for EPIK you do need a TEFL plus a college degree to get accepted, but you can be in the process of getting your TEFL when you start the application process! I’m not sure about other opportunities teaching English abroad, but it is a requirement for Korea!
You also get paid at least million of won a month, so you can technically say you’re a millionaire LOL
God I wish my nearest grocery store was 3/4 of a mile 😂 In my current placement in Japan, my nearest is 1.18miles, and the cheaper one I prefer shopping at is 1.36 🥲
