My experience at this Language Studio as a volunteer was extremely enjoyable throughout. This position to me was genuinely fun, where I actually looked forward to going to work. Talking to Koreans from all walks of life in English presents a unique opportunity to learn about Korean culture firsthand. The work provides the chance to talk about anything, for hour long sessions so if you can talk a-lot, about literally anything then you'll love this. The apartment provides a generous amount of space and food, and the managers are extremely friendly/professional. Highly recommend this opportunity.

It was so much fun taking part into the coffee's activities. Not only the friendly and cozy vibe during the volunteering activities, but also the management, the Korean students, the other volunteers and the vibrant energy of Seoul, all contributed to make this such a memorable life experience. Particularly appreciated is the flexibility of the management team and the way they always try to make you feel at home.

I had an amazing experience at the studio thanks to the managers (MJ, Peter and Mr. Kim), the volunteers and also the students at the studio! Work is 5 hours!/day with two shifts (12-17 or 17-22). They are flexible with the schedule and always try to take your preferences into account. The work itself isn't hard, you talk in sessions of 50 minutes to the students (maximum 2 students at once). The accommodation isn't big, but it is definitely good enough. There are 2 bedrooms, one with 4 and one with 6 beds. Overall would definitely recommend this place and I was very sad to leave!

Volunteering in the cafe was really special and fun! We had to do 5 hours each day, and we had 2 days off. The apartment looked quite new and was comfortable. This experience allowed me to connect with a lot of Koreans and exchange differences between our cultures, teaching me so many things about Korean culture. It was really interesting to experience that, and I met amazing volunteers with whom I could exchange cultural differences too. I really recommend volunteering here since it is really fun, interesting and enriching, and you still have enough time to visit Seoul!
