From Julianna Hobbs of Hamilton, Ontario — Placed in Bundang

I just wanted to say thanks for finding me such a good school to work at. The students are really great — very enthusiastic, smart and friendly. I also have enjoyed spending time with my Korean and North American coworkers — both at the office and outside of work. I really love Korea — it's a gorgeous country and I'd recommend the school you placed me at to anyone. The management is really good and they always listen to us and go out of their way to create good working conditions. There is plenty of time to prepare for classes and the course materials are very good. All in all, I'm having a wonderful time in Korea and I'd like to thank you for your help in finding me such a good school to work for.

From Lee Sidebottom of Stalybridge, Cheshire, UK — Placed in Bundang

I'm happy to tell you all is well with Avalon, in fact it's marvellous and generally much better than I anticipated in nearly every aspect. I only got to teach my first lessons today due to exams last week, but the students are great and so are the facilities in the Ivy campus. For the most part it feels like a privilege to work with these great people and certainly most things have been made very easy in the whole transition. Certainly Avalon feels like it's really wanting to progress in it's teaching approach with a relatively open mind and willing to value input from foreign teachers; already we've had a 4 hour meeting with other Ivy foreign teachers and new teaching methods have been put into action today. The teaching workload is also well balanced.

Overall I've been surprised how distinct Korean culture is and how it is so different from China — which is great and makes the whole cultural experience feel very fresh. It's only been a week but it feels like a month — I must have a hundred stories to tell! If you want me to recommend Avalon to other budding teachers I would be more than willing.

Thanks once again for matching me up with a great school.

From Shaun and Heather Collins of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania — Placed in Bucheon

As you know, this is our first time doing TESL so I don't have a whole lot to compare our experiences to. That being said I feel that we have hit the jackpot both in working with you and with this school. I've been extremely happy with the help we have received from you and how you've been straight forward with what you know, made sure we have stayed on track all though the process, and been concerned with placing us in a good school. The school and the people we are working have far exceeded even the best of the Internet stories we had read. From the moment we got of the plane Andy (the EFL manager) has been taking good care of us.

From Alexandra Deligiannis of Montreal, Quebec — Placed in Seoul

Work is lovely, pretty much as I had envisioned. The flat is more than accommodating and the school environment is what I was looking for — intimate, pleasant, positive and the staff are friendly and helpful. The children are a pleasure, so I'll be getting the experience I was looking for.

Let me know if you need any testimonial written up for your website, it'll be a pleasure, after all I must say that I strongly believe that I fell into good hands when I decided to go with your organization. You're straight up, no complications or misleading information. Thanks again for your help. It was a smooth transition and that's a great way to start off any journey!

From Reg Currie and Leslie Garnham of Jasper, Alberta — Placed in Seoul

Hi Kristopher, We just wanted to let you know that we've arrived, we're safe and sound. We're sooo happy with our apartment and the school. The people at Brighton have been very helpful and patient with us, especially considering we were late a day. Thank you again for all the help and support over the last few months. We really appreciate your efforts and consideration. We'll be in touch.

From Daniel Lelievre of Sylva, North Carolina — Placed in Seoul

Hello Kristopher. How are you? I wanted to send you an update on the placement. School and staff are great, everything seems to be in good working order. Have the visa, apartment, good hours, etc. Thank you for the good placement at SLP, take care.

From Amanda Feltus and Doug Rogers of Halifax, Nova Scotia — Placed in Paju

Hi Kristopher, thank you for checking in on us... we couldn't have asked for a better job. We have no worries or reservations at all about working for Paju EV and right now any questions we had, we already know the answers to and then some. Thank you so much for finding this for us and for continuing to check in on us even after our placement. We really lucked out, having you as our recruiter.

From Joshua Perkins of Archer City, Texas — Placed in Suwon

Hello Kristopher: I just wanted to give you an update about the Korean situation. Thus far, I love it. The job is a little overwhelming at times, but what can one expect with 10 kids screaming in a foreign language. hahah. Anyway, I want to say THANKS a thousand times for arranging everything for me. You're the best. And who knows, if the offer is still on the table, I might come visit you in Bali for Summer.

From Emily Durling of Moncton, New Brunswick — Placed in Seoul

Hello Kristopher, Sorry that I haven't written in a while but as you know things are pretty busy, but good. My apartment is beyond my expectations. It is very nice. I am still getting use to the fact that all the hot water must be turned on and heated up by gas. I will also need to adjust to not having a clothes dryer. Both of those are very minor and I am by no means complaining. I get along well with all my roommates. They have been most helpful.

I like the school too. I had 3 days of training before I started teaching. I sat in on classes and got a feel for how some of the other foreign teachers taught. It was a good amount of time to be here and figure stuff out before I started teaching. I read the manual and observed and then had one day of planning before jumping right into it. Yes all is well here. I have made two adventurous trips into Seoul on my own, with my roommates' directions. I am very impressed so far about my whole experience. Thank you again for all of your help in getting me here. I would have been so lost if it were not for you.

From Lynne Lariviere of Manitoba — Placed in Bundang

Hey Kristopher! how are you doing? Well, it's been just over a month here in Korea, and I'm doing great! We have a one-week vacation coming up this Thursday, and a bunch of us are going to Thailand. I can't wait!

I am really enjoying teaching. the kids are really great! I'm already attached to a lot of them. The school has been really kind to me. I''ve met so many people from all over. I've been doing lots of partying! (more than needed I think!) :o) The food has taken a bit of getting used to as it's quite different, and I can't say that Korean food is my favourite. But all in all, things are great.

I'm going home for Christmas, so that'll be a good halfway point for me. Thanks for everything Kristopher, and you can always give my email to other potential teachers! Take care!

From Charity Remy of Salem, Oregon — Placed in Busan (This is Charity's third year in Korea).

I just want to let you know that I got here to Busan on Thursday afternoon. I observed classes on Friday and will begin teaching on Monday. The other teachers and director seem very helpful and friendly, and the school seems to run well. My apartment is small, but clean and modern, and I like the location. It's close to the school and to nice paths on the mountainside, and to an interesting university district.

From Jocelyne Blanchette of Chilliwack, B.C. — Placed in Seoul

Hi Kristopher! I am here now and am just adjusting to the culture. It is so different but the food is amazing. My students are so cute and fun. I always pictures Koreans to be very disciplined students but they will give anything for an opportunity to sing or dance. The job is good. Thank you for setting up my contract. I have met people out here that know of you and have only heard good things. Thanks for everything.

From Adrian Jankowski of San Diego, California — Placed in Yong-In

Hi Kristopher. Everything has been awesome here. The apartment is much bigger than I expected, the people are really nice, and the school is great. Thanks for everything.

From Nicole Klock of Melbourne, Australia — Placed in Ulsan

Just wanted to send a quick note to let you know how well everything is going here in Ulsan. My school is fantastic — great teachers, energetic kids (one way of putting it!) and my director has been overly kind and helpful. I Couldn't have wished for a better school. Thanks again for all of your help getting here. Hope life is treating you well in Canada.

Cheers, and thanks again.

From Ken Fitch, of Medford, Oregon — Placed in Ilsan

I just wanted to let you know that I'm adjusting nicely to Korean life. I've been teaching at the school for two weeks now, and I love it. The kids have taken to me very quickly, and me to them. The training was a little scattered, and I tend to overcomplicate things that are quite simple, but I'm learning more every day. I do love the food, and have not had a bad experience yet. I've also met a handful of the westerners here, (mostly Canadian) who have all been very helpful, and friendly. My roommate Danielle is a great individual. We seem to be very compatible. Jet lag, and homesickness both seem to overlooked me altogether and the transition has been very smooth. Thank you again for all your help, and I will definitely recommend your services to any that need it in the future. I will keep you updated as events unfold. Take care, and keep up the good work. your friend .... Ken Fitch.

From Roberta Jenkins of Grande Prairie, Alberta. (Unlike most placements, Roberta's didn't go very smoothly; however, she was still very satisfied with our service.)

If you have spent much time looking for work in Korea, you are no doubt frustrated and overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of possibilities that exist. I remember running my first search online and being stunned at the number of postings I turned up without really trying. Once I started getting phone calls from schools and recruiters, that sinking, in-over-my-head feeling grew — it seemed like there was nothing at all to differentiate the companies. How could I possibly choose one?

I found APC and Kristopher Kinch through an internet posting. In my initial contact with him I was most impressed by how unassuming he was — I had felt a lot of pressure from others that had contacted me to get moving right away, but with APC the entire process was driven by me and my schedule. That was the first reason I kept talking to him. His candor about what I could expect throughout the process was the second reason. I didn't have the benefit of someone who had been to Korea and gone through things here to help me along the way, but I always felt that extra support from Kristopher. Even if everything had gone perfectly in country I would have been impressed by the time and care he took of me, and eagerly recommended him to anyone in their Korean job search.

Unfortunately all did not go perfectly when I arrived in Korea. Anyone who has spent time looking for work here has heard the horror stories about bad schools — some of them are true. Through no fault of APC, what had looked initially like an ideal school for me quickly deteriorated into something less than desirable. Fortunately, that is when Kristopher really came through and when I began to realize how lucky I was to have him in my corner.

Over the 4 month period that I stayed with my first school, Kristopher was a terrific sounding board and a huge support. Despite receiving no compensation for his services, he was always available through e-mail or on the phone to give me advice, assistance or just a friendly ear. He understands the working dynamics in this part of the world well, and was full of insights about dealing successfully (or at least minimizing friction) with my employers and others that I met. When our best efforts to make the situation better failed, APC negotiated a departure agreement with my school and helped to ensure that they followed through on it. He worked with and stood by me every step of the way, something I did not see any of my colleagues recruiters doing for them, and made a bad situation bearable.

Despite my less than ideal first working experience, I have loved being in Korea. I would not trade my time here for anything, and would highly recommend it to others. Korea is a dynamic and beautiful country, and most of the people are delightful. It is easy to feel at home and excited about every day — especially when you know that no matter what happens in that day you will have someone behind you 100%. That's the best of what Kristopher and APC gave me. I stayed in Korea and am happy in my new position. Kristopher continues to support me in all of my efforts. I can say with near certainty that he would do the same for any of his clients, a rare find in this overwhelming market. The best advice I could offer anyone looking to work here is to call him first and then to listen to what he says. With him on your side, no matter what happens, it will all come out good in the end!

From Greg Morrison of Vancouver, B.C. — Placed in Seoul

I just finished my first month of teaching and its a lot of work, but incredibly rewarding at the same time. I'm teaching mostly middle school and its going great, and I'm learning a lot about the English language too. Everything here is on the up and up and the school I'm at is great. They go out of their way to ensure that everything I need is accommodated. I've got my own place, which is great. It is in a brand new building and it's only about a ten minute walk from work. Thanks again for all your help with getting the job; it certainly made my life easier. Everything has turned out perfect and I would be happy to recommend you and APC to anyone. Thanks

From Brenda Kemp of Saskatchewan — Placed in Bundang

It's been ages since I emailed you to let you know how things are going. I just started my second year here at SLP, so that should tell you something. This is a really great place to work. There are 4 of us who are now on our second or third year. Excellent people and the kids, for the most part, are really nice. I'm coming back to Canada in July for a visit for a couple weeks. Once again, thank you so much for everything. Korea is the best!

From Bill Sharp of Seattle, Washington — Placed in Suji

The school has been great, no complaints whatsoever. I'm especially glad when I talk to the teachers from the other schools. They all say I got very lucky with my contract (Personally I think I was just more careful selecting a recruiter!) We work less hours, have much better support, and the organization is more coherent. They could have done a better job training us and settling us in, but the academic director started his job a few days before Kristin arrived so things were still a little chaotic. They will be a lot better with the next batch of new teachers. The other teachers were extremely helpful in answering all my questions and the Academic Director has gone out of his way to help me get settled in. My apartment is absolutely adequate for my needs. It could use some new wallpaper or paint, but everything works and is in good repair. All in all they have done an excellent job in fulfilling their end of things by any reasonable standards.

The job itself has actually turned out to be a lot less demanding than I thought. I think the interesting part will turn out to be keeping it from becoming boring! I'm looking forward to getting through the adjustment to the routine and really start working on refining my skills and techniques.

I would recommend the school to anyone who is prepared for the normal challenges of living and working here in Korea.

Thanks for getting me hooked up with a good situation!

From Jason Cohen of Buffalo, New York — Placed in Ansan

Hello Kristopher. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. It has been quite busy — trying to acclimatize myself to the school and the jet lag and, of course, the nori-bang. I just want to thank you for putting me in touch with this school. It really is a good school and a lovely work environment. I also want to thank you for your directness and honesty; everything that I was promised has so far been fulfilled. I'm doing fine here and don't anticipate any problems, as the other teachers here are quite satisfied on the whole. So, thanks again.

From Katrina Jean of Victoria, B.C. — Placed in Bundang

How are you doing? I am well. I think I have adjusted to life here. It is a lot of fun. I am teaching preschool, which was stressful at first as my students didn't understand me at all. Now they are starting to get comfortable with me. I am enjoying being near Seoul. It's a cool city. I went to see a couple of palaces and saw many Korean families playing games on the weekend. It was very refreshing to know they take a break once and a while. Hope you are well.

From David de Bruin of Toronto, Ontario — Placed in Busan

Thanks for all your help in getting this job! It's proving to be a really good company and teaching has been quite a bit of fun (despite a few brats). The apartment is really nice and I've got great co-workers. You were right, Pusan is definitely a good city to be in, although I'm in an outlying district. Takes a while to get to the main sections, but, with a cheap subway system and affordable cabs, it's no problem.

From Eric Schwindt of Portland, Oregon — Placed in Bundang

This is Eric Schwindt. I'd first like to thank you for placing me at a great school (SLP Nambundang) and great location last year. It was just what I was looking for, and it was a wonderful experience. I'm currently travelling through S.E. Asia with the money I earned from that job, and I'm looking to go back there to teach for another year in March or April likely.

From Mandy Beisel of Swift Current, Saskatchewan — Placed in Uijeongbu

I am e-mailing to let you know that I'm having a wonderful time. My school is amazing. The director is a really nice guy and the faculty gets along really well. The expectations of the teachers are very high; we are teaching children from quite wealthy families. This a great school, so thank you very much for all your hard work and help.

From Richard Lunceford of Los Angeles, California — Placed in Anyang

I've been in Anyang for over a month and everything is going great. I've had time to explore the Anyang area as well as Seoul and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. ; Everyone at the school and people in general have been very helpful. Thank you again for all your help in getting things set up.

From Peter Steeves of Vancouver, B.C. — Placed in Seoul

Things here are fine. I'm quite pleased with the way things are going. The Korean supervisors have been very helpful and supportive in helping me prepare for classes. The foreign staff have some very solid teachers and a good Canadian academic supervisor. Mr. Chang met me at the airport and helps all the foreign staff with bills, setting up bank accounts, getting mobile phones, etc. Mr. Kim, the director, was in the school when I came in looking for help one Saturday afternoon. I was sick and had lost my voice. He took me to a doctor and translated for me with no hesitation. I was paid my landing advance and paid for my first week of observation. There is none of the crap I've heard about like withholding passports. Mine was promptly returned after I received my Alien Resident Card. All in all, I have no complaints. Thanks for setting me up with this.

From Jeff and Lisa Gates of Toronto, Ontario — Placed in Seoul

Just a quick note to let you know that we have been here for a month in Korea and are enjoying it. Our accommodation is very nice and the director seems very fair. We are teaching with the two teachers you placed here before and they are enjoying their jobs as well. Thanks for all the work you did for us and the position you found for us.

From Soeren Peterson, of Arlington, Virginia — Placed in Masan

I have now been in Korea for more than 6 months, and just wanted to thank your for placing my here in Korea. It's been an unbelievable experience and it has probably changed my life in many ways. The kids are amazing and I really enjoy teaching so far.

From Mai-Lynn McEwen of Winnipeg, Manitoba — Placed in Ansan

Hi there, Kristopher. This is Mai-Lynn McEwen from Ansan SLP in Korea. I just wanted to say thanks for your help with finding me such an awesome job. I'm loving teaching here in Korea and the school and apartment are top notch.

From Stephen Nieforth of Halifax, Nova Scotia — Placed in Seoul

Hi Kristopher. I have really enjoyed things here in South Korea thus far. Deciding to come here was one of the best choices that I ever made. I have been in South Korea for almost 2 months now, but it feels like two years in terms of the number of experiences that I have had. It seems to me that Seoul presently offers one the opportunity to experience an interesting blend of an old traditional Asian culture and a new, rather unique culture being created by a modern, technologically advanced, and quickly growing, capitalist economy. Luckily, I did not suffer any so called culture shock, so that helped.

In terms of my school, I would clearly recommend it to others who are considering a teaching job in South Korea. I have been treated very well and it seems that the owner of the school is generally concerned with the welfare of the teachers. I have not been overworked and the teachers have always been paid on time. Also, in the short time that I have been here, the school has organized a picnic and a trip to an amusement park for the teachers. The school is, in my opinion, in a pretty good location. Since we are near Balsan station, we can get to Itaewon, Sinchon or Hong-ik in about 30-40 minutes. We do not, however, have to deal with the crowds in the more centrally located parts of Seoul.

Thanks for your all your help back in March-April. I feel fortunate to have found the school that I am at, and I sometimes shudder when I think about the other schools that I was considering before I contacted you.

From Gurmit Bhachu of Edmonton, Alberta — Placed in Seoul

Sorry it's taken me so long to write you. I just wanted to say that everything is going great. Mr. Kim is a really nice guy and he's done his best to accommodate me. I think he's pretty happy with my teaching as well as attendance has shot up this month. Overall, I'm very happy with the job. Thanks for hooking me up with it!

From Catharine MacDonald of Vancouver, B.C. — Placed in Bundang

My first month has been great! Everything has worked out so well at school and the accommodation is way above what I was expecting. I just finished a 4 hour hike and then a soak in some hot springs. I'm on my first solo journey in Korea this week-end, near Dajeon. I hope you are doing well. Please feel free to pass on my email to anyone having questions for someone living here.

From Lori Manske of Portland, Oregon — Placed in Yeosu

Sorry it has taken so long to write. I have been so busy since I arrived. So far everything is wonderful!. My roommate, Maria, is a real sweetheart. She has helped me get settled and has shown me around a lot. The director and his wife at the school are very kind, giving people, and the kids are adorable. There aren't too many foreigners in Yeosu, but I have met about six in total and well all get together when we can. I am also making some Korean friends. I'm still getting used to teaching, but I enjoy it and I can only get better as I go. Thank you for everything! I will keep you updated as to how things go for me in the future.

From Mitchell Lilly of Eugene, Oregon — Placed in Bundang

Hey Kristopher, All is well here, I'm pleased with the school, my apartment, the living conditions, the students, and my job (I'm a rookie, so to speak, but I'm sure I'll survive). I live with Eric and Woo — you recruited them here. I'm adjusting well and having fun. There are a lot of beautiful women here. Don't be surprised if I bring back a Korean wife!

From David Weinberg of San Francisco, California — Placed in Seoul

I am writing this in hopes that you will show it to other people. You are, by far, the best recruiter I could have hoped to have. When I went to teach English in Korea I had no idea what to expect and, while most recruiters left teachers out on a limb once their contracts were signed, you followed through and made sure I was properly treated. I couldn't have asked for a better recruiter.

From Charlenne Leanno of Calgary, Alberta — Placed in Bundang

Thank you so much for helping me find this job. I've been here for almost 8 months now and I'm still really enjoying myself. I really appreciate that you had my best interests at heart when you found me this job. Everything is going extremely well. I'm thinking of staying another year here at the same institute. Well, I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU... because I've met a lot of people here that aren't too happy with their situations. I'm lucky to have gone through you.

From Sean Morgan of Vancouver, B.C. — Placed in Suwon

Hey Kristopher! I'm back in Canada now after a gratifying year in Korea. I just want to thank you again for hooking me up with such a great school. I signed on for another year there. Good luck with your business and Merry Christmas!

From Marc Montague of Montreal, Quebec — Placed in Incheon

Hi Kristopher. Everything here is great. I'm having a great time teaching. It's harder than I thought it would be but I'm managing and loving it. The school is great. The director is a really nice guy who speaks perfect English. The school even has Canadian academic supervisors and this makes the working conditions easy to adjust to. I don't have anything negative to say about the school. Thanks again for helping me find this place. I feel that I lucked out and got one of the better schools.

From Dominic and Danalee Walton of Kamloops, B.C. — Placed in Seoul

My husband and I are now teaching in Seoul and loving it! Kristopher set up everything for us and prepared us for everything we would encounter so we haven't had any surprises. He was prompt in solving any problems or questions that arose prior to us leaving, which was very helpful and reassuring. We love our school and everything that was promised has come true, and more! The Korean staff have gone out of their way to make sure we feel at home and have everything we need. Kristopher delivers what he promises. You can count on that!

From Andy Barbiero of Thunder Bay, Ontario — Placed in Taegu

Congratulations on your decision to teach overseas! You will not find a more knowledgeable, helpful or honest recruiter than Kristopher. From day one, he gave me all the information I needed, answered all my questions promptly and didn't make a promise he didn't keep. With Kristopher's many connections here in Korea, his personal experience teaching overseas and his taking care of all the paper work, you couldn't be in better hands. I've been working in Taegu for four months now at a great school with really good directors. I didn't realize how lucky I was to have Kristopher working for me until I heard the horror stories of teachers at terrible schools that had "fly by night" recruiters dump them at schools with really bad conditions.

Your experience in Korea will be determined by whom you trust in getting you here. I can assure you that Asia-Pacific Connections will get you here safely and continue to stay in contact with you and help you get through the ups and downs of living in Korea. Kristopher has certainly done that for me. One quick example — I had some structural problems with my apartment when I first moved here. The directors promised to fix the problem, but like any landlords, they dragged their feet about it. One e-mail to Kristopher asking for his help and the problem was immediately rectified. He called one of his contacts in Korea who spoke to my directors and the next day the directors were at my apartment apologizing and the work was done that weekend. This is a guy you want in your corner when you're a stranger in a strange land. Good luck on your adventure. May you enjoy it as much as I do!

From Daymon MacMillan of Vancouver, B.C. — Placed in Seoul

I've nothing but good words for this school. The supervisor has been exceptionally helpful, right from the moment I left customs at the airport to helping me move from my temporary lodgings to my apartment. Every other day, the director buys the staff some food, not to mention the free lunch every teaching day, and keeps to her "open office door" policy should anyone have any troubles. This school is good in every way and I would not hesitate in recommending it to another teacher. Thanks for the excellent placement.

From Jonathan Lanman of Moscow, Idaho — Placed in Seoul

Everything in Korea is going really well. Mr. Jeon has taken great care of me. He is helpful and kind. I like my apartment and my roommate and I am very impressed by the school. I will certainly recommend you to others.

Thanks again, Kristopher. Feel free to refer me to your clients if they need someone to e-mail to ask questions.

From Alexandra Thom of Vancouver, B.C. — Placed in Uijungbu

All is well here — school is great, everyone is nice and I'm quite content. Thank you for all your help and concern. Simon and Kim (my bosses) have been really kind and have shown me the ins and outs of Uijungbu. I'm trying to learn Korean though the process has been slow because I've been having too much fun!

From Melissa Kenny of Ottawa, Ontario — Placed in Chongju

Hello Kristopher! Chongju is great and so is the school I'm working at. I can't thank you enough for all your help with getting all my documents together over the last month. Also, thanks so much for placing me at such a great school. The Kims are nice people, as are the other staff members here.

Everything is going well and I have to say that adjusting to the food was easier than I expected it to be. I love Korean food and appreciate the extra zip that the spices give it. Unfortunately, I have to keep this short as I teach in a little while, but I just thought I'd fill you in on how I've been making out — Great is how!

From Collen McLay of St. John's, Newfoundland — Placed in Masan

Just a note to thank you for giving me this wonderful posting. The job is great and I'm loving it. The other teachers are taking good care of me and the kids I'm teaching are too amazing to believe!

From Jason Lynn of Abbotsford, British Columbia — Placed in Duk-So (Jason has since signed on for a second year at the same school.)

I just wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that I've arrived safely in Korea and everything is going well. Things are going smoothly with the kids. My boss, Diana, is kind and generous and is ready to help whenever possible. My roommates are also great and my apartment is very nice and quite spacious. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for all that you have done for me. I would not hesitate in recommending friends and/or acquaintances to your services.

From Andy Buhr of Langley, British Columbia — Placed in Busan (Andy has taught at three different schools in Korea over the past five years.)

So far the school seems very good. My apartment is very nice. All in all, facility wise, this is the best school I've been in. Thanks for your help with my placement.

From Dianna Lynch of Kelowna, B.C. — Placed in Seoul

Hi Kristopher — Everything is going great in Seoul. Work, life — can't complain at all. I have met some pretty great people and I am enjoying my job. Thanks again for all your help before I left Canada. Please feel free to use me as a reference for any prospective teachers that may be coming to Korea.

From John Elliott and Rebekah Lowinger of Portland, Oregon — Placed in Bundang (John and Rebekah have since signed on for a second year at the same school).

We just wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know we're doing very well here. We love the kids and the job in general. We are quite happy and fully think we made the right choice.
