I had a great experience at this English academy, mainly focused on English conversation, which really helped me improve my confidence and speaking skills. Scarlett, the coordinator, was wonderful, very supportive and well organized, and the rest of the team and classmates were also friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was a very positive and enriching experience, and I would definitely recommend it.

I had such a great experience volunteering here! The house was really comfortable and cozy, and I felt very welcome from the first day. It is located in a good area with many shops, restaurants, etc. Scarlett, the coordinator, was amazing, always friendly, helpful, and organized, making everything super easy. The academy itself was also really nice and talking with the students is very easy and interesting. Everything about this experience was smooth and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it to everyone!

This was a really good experience ! Being able to speak with locals was such a great experience they were so nice and I learned so many things about Korean culture ! Being outside of Seoul is really nice to live a different experience but you are only 30min away from Seoul (Gangnam). If you organize yourself well you can have three days off and discover other cities but you have to say it in advance ! Everyone was really nice and I made so many good memories !

I really enjoyed my stay here! The work was easy enough, just having conversations with students a few hours a week and I was able to make good friendships as well! The academy is close to Seoul so it was easy to visit many places! I really loved my time with the other volunteers too; enjoying nights out, going for dinner, and having movie nights! I had initially only planned on staying here a few weeks but after having such a good time, I asked Scarlett if I could stay longer and she was nice enough to make room for me to extend my trip! Thanks again and I can't wait to come back again soon!!

This experience will give you the opportunity to actually get to know Korean people, culture and language. The other teachers, as well as the students are lovely and I had lots of fun during my two months here. Truly enjoyed working at the academy and also spending my free time in Bundang, its a cool area. Be prepared for a lot of going out (if you want), soju guaranteed! I have made some really great friendships and am very grateful for my experience here.

Perfect opportunity to immerse myself in Korean culture, all while making great friends, having fun at work, and living in a great city! The hours are reasonable and the location is great -- easy to get to Seoul in 30-60 mins for day trips or evening plans. Scarlett is a very kind and responsible host, too, which is always helpful. Even extended my stay here because I loved it so much!

This experience in Korea taught me so many things and helped me grow inside. I met such wonderful students and amazing volunteers, making it an experience I will carry forever in my heart. The work is very fun, my coworkers are great, and I couldn't have chosen a better place. I give it a 10 out of 10 and highly recommend it.

I enjoyed my experience at Yapper's Academy! Here is some general thoughts on the experience: It is located outside of Seoul by around 40-50 minutes, so accessible but, outside the main tourist area. I enjoyed the opportunity to connect with locals. Food is like mid priced in the area, and there accessible restaurants all around, I didn't cook that much but, other volunteers utilized the kitchen and probably saved some extra bread. I really enjoyed the people at the dorm, there is a good community energy there. Thanks again!
