    You did such a good job compiling all of this infornation! These were all things I only discovered once I moved to Korea, I never saw anyone talking about this when I was researching the EPIK program! My commute was 2 hours every day, but I didn't get a stipend so I was spending about 93,000원 every month just to commute to my school. Regardless, I absolutely loved working in Korea and adored my students! Also TAKE ADVANTAGE OF KOREAN HEALTHCARE! Koreans will do IV injections just for Vitamin B and it's amazing!

    Thanks for making this video! Although I am not going through EPIK, I plan on moving to South Korea in late February to teach English and a lot of the things you said were helpful for me.

    Great channel, Courtney. I am currently applying for EPIK as we speak. I am a school-teacher here in USA with CELTA. Look forward to my possible journey in 'the peninsula' -- keep up the great work! :-)

    This was very informative, thank you! I'm currently working towards gathering my documents prior to applying to EPIK and I started my background check (federal because I'm from the States), but any advice for the next steps? I'm open to anything!

    Questions for you, how much Korean did you speak before you arrived in country? Is lack of knowledge a serious problem? Your schedule sounds busy with all the travel schools; do you have time to go to Korean language classes along the way?

      Hi! I actually knew basically no Korean when starting with EPIK! It’s helpful to know Korean, but it’s definitely not necessary for the job! It just makes life a lot easier! I haven’t personally taken any language classes, but I know lots of teachers here will self study or have time to do classes after school!
