First and foremost I must thank Work n Play awesome recruiter and my new best friend Miya. She has made the process of coming to Korea such a memorable experience. I've applied late into the program but she was very determined to get me a job. She helped me from step one and is still helping me after my arrival
in Korea. She is definitely one of the most patience and helpful people I have worked with in a long time. It's been about three months since I've been in Korea and teaching at a public middle school. Teaching in Korea is quite different from teaching back home in the states. However the school I was assigned to is great, the students are fantastic and the teachers have been more than welcoming. I've never felt so perfectly matched up for a job than I do now. Overall my experience thus far in Korea has been a great and memorable. I highly recommend anybody who is looking for a teaching job in Korea to use Work n Play Consulting because in my opinion they are nothing but perfect if that.

I love my job teaching English here in Korea. Work n Play was very easy to work with and quickly found a job that suited me perfectly. I work at a public elementary school in Gyeonngi-Do and I couldn't be happier with my job. My recruiter was available to help me with any questions I had throughout the Visa application

process. Everything was done professionally and in a timely manner. Work n Play made getting a great job in a perfect location very easy for me. Even after I arrived in Korea they were have continued to be available to help me with any issues I encounter. I strongly recommend using Work n Play to help you find a great job teaching in Korea.

I would like to thank Miya Kim from WorknPlay Consulting for assisting me throughout the entire hiring process. She was prompt in answering my questions and concerns via e-mail. In addition, her impeccable work-ethic shows that she is passionate and dedicated to her job. Although I applied late, she was able to
expedite the process and secure me with a teaching position at a public school in Seoul. Not only did I get hired at a public school, but I also got placed at one of my location preferences! Without her help, I would probably not be teaching here at all!

After completing a year of teaching middle school in an area outside of Seoul I wanted to make a change and try life in the city. I applied for a job through WorknPlay Consulting and Miya Kim was my consultant. From the minute I emailed my request to work in Seoul it was smooth sailing. Miya was so efficient. I got immediate

tresponses to all my questions. She helped me every step of the way and also showed an interest in me, which I thought was great! Even after I was employed I received emails from WorknPlay about excursions for teachers and many opportunities to get to know other teachers recruited by them. WorknPlay is definitely one of the better agencies out there so definitely try them! You will not be disappointed. I would like to give my thanks to Miya! ^^

After working in Korea for 10 months at an English Institute, I decided to make a change. I started my research and came across an ad placed in the Korean Herald by WorknPlay to teach English in a Seoul public school. I inquired and within a few hours I got a reply from Miya Kim, giving me details about the job. I spoke to her
that very day and thankfully her English was great so we could communicate with no problem. She told me what documents I would need and she gave me her contact info stating that I could even contact her on the weekend. I found that a very positive sign as most people don't like to be bothered on the weekend especially if it has to do with work. Miya was very kind and helped in every way possible. If you are looking for a job in Korea I suggest you contact worknplay employment agency first and ask for any of the qualified staff, but particularly Miya Kim, you won't be disappointed.

I would like to thank Miya Kim for all the help she has given me for the last 6 months and now. She put a lot of effort to help me out with the job applications and showed the willingness to give me any kinds of help she can. Even though I asked a lot of questions in regards to the job and everything, she was always happy
to assist me and give me all the information she can to satisfy me. Miya's communication skills were great especially with emails and she even rang me to make sure I have understood the process. she was very precise and provided all the information she could give to me. The decision of coming to Korea made it even more clear after the support she has given me and I really enjoy working in Korea. I truly recommend Miya from WorknPlay Consulting for anyone who is interested in working in Korea. Thank you so much Miya.

First and foremost I would like to say that I recommend WorkNPlay Consulting to anyone looking to work in South Korea. My primary contact, Libby Kim, was all the things you could wish for in a contact. She was kind, incredibly helpful and always looking out for me! And though I don't know if you could ask for much
more than that she was also incredibly prompt with answers to questions and dedicated to finding me a great position (which she did!). I've heard from other people about bad experiences with other agencies, so I sincerely recommend not going anywhere else and working with WorkNPlay!
Melanie Repp
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Work'n'Play consultant Ms. Miya Kim. I am extremely pleased with the quality of service I have received from her. She is reliable, dedicated, efficient, professional, and above all, truthful. Ms. Kim has been in regular contact with me throughout the entire placement process. Now I have a wonderful position with a brand new elementary school in Osan! I look forward to working with the students and my colleagues. I would definitely recommend my friends to contact Ms. Kim in terms of seeking a teaching position in South Korea because I know she is committed to finding a suitable placement for them!

I definitely recommend Miya from WorknPlay Consulting to anyone considering teaching English in Korea. Within a day of e-mailing her requesting information about teaching in Korea and about the application process, Miya had e-mailed me not only of the general application process but of all the required documents for
the E2 Visa and my different employment options. She was able to secure me a position with GEPIK. I've been here about 2 weeks and love it! The school Miya found for me is amazing, all the staff and my co-teacher are so friendly and helpful! I brought my dog to Korea and Miya even called the driver who picked me up at the airport to speak to me and to make sure that my dog made it into the country safely. When I was considering EPIK, she offered to help me find somewhere for my dog to stay during the EPIK Orientation. Overall, Miya has exceeded all expectations I had for a recruiter and has made the process of coming to Korea stress-free. Thanks Miya.

This is my second year in Korea, and I am aware of all the pitfalls that await would-be teachers. As such, I am able to fully appreciate the service I received from my recruiting agent, Ms. Mina Jung. I was recommended Ms. Jung by a friend, and I am so happy that I followed my friend's advice. Ms. Jung has always been extremely helpful, professional yet friendly at the same time. I felt that she
was trying her hardest to secure me the perfect position, and, moreover, that she cared about my future in Korea. I felt that I could trust her 100%, that she was seeking to ensure that I found the job that best suited me. I never felt pressured to accept a teaching position that I had any doubts about, and with Ms. Jung's invaluable assistance I am now working for the school that was my first choice all along. During the application process I had many questions and queries, but Ms. Jung was always extremely prompt to reply with detailed answers. Since arriving in Korea, Ms. Jung has kept in touch to ensure that everything is going well for me. This first class treatment I've been lucky to experience has already led me to recommend Ms. Jung to other friends who are looking for a position in Korea, and I will not hesitate to recommend her in the future to one and all as the perfect recruiting agent.
