Terry Gee – 2010 A Canadian in South Korea

For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to experience living in Asia. Coupled with my love for working with children, I thought that teaching would be a very ideal path to take. I came across the Reach To Teach web site when I was performing initial research on teaching English overseas. After reading through the web site, I decided to apply and was immediately contacted to set up an interview. I had the pleasure of speaking with Mike, who was able to answer all my questions and eliminate any sort of hesitation I had been feeling about moving half way across the world to teach English. I was provided with a great deal of information about Korea and after the interview, I was extremely excited to proceed.

Now that I’ve passed my 4-month mark in Korea, I can honestly say that I am extremely happy that I went through Reach To Teach. I have met other teachers here who have either found schools on their own or used other recruitment companies and many of them have had very negative experiences.

Overall, I am tremendously satisfied with how things worked out. It’s a very scary experience to move half way across the world, and it was nice to know that Reach To Teach was there the entire time to help guide me.
