The Experience

Help Koreans practice their English by discussing interesting topics and sharing new ideas! It is less than 15 hours per week. 1 to 3 Koreans per group for less than 4 hours per day, with a 10-minute break in between. It could be very boring to talk to the same person or people for 4 hours straight, so we always rotate to meet new people. We'd like you to try to help them communicate and practise English with them.

Oscar is a nice guy and work is nice and easy. You get to meet lots of friendly locals of all ages, very easy to make friends. The shifts are not long at all, sometimes only 1-2 hours during a quiet day. The accommodation is very close to the café, 5-10 mins walk maximum. It is located in a very central area of the host with easy access to the subway and therefore to Seoul as well. My roommates were awesome and there's plenty of restaurants and bars around the area to hang out at. My only complaint would be the beds, quite uncomfortable and falling apart as well. Overall a great experience!

It was my second time volunteering at this language studio and it felt like coming back to second home!! It was fun to work with Oscar and the students again, as the host is pretty easygoing :) the accommodation is fine, but I have to say that the beds are getting real fragile and make a lot of noises when you move, so keep that in mind!! What I'm gonna miss are the friends and also family that I made along the way!!

I had an amazing month volunteering at Hasta English Studio! the host is such a vibrant the host at night, full of neon lights and local charm, it's not crowded with tourists. There's also a beautiful and spacious park nearby. The accommodation provided was fantastic. We always received the food or items we needed, and the atmosphere with the other volunteers felt like a family. ❤️ The work was very relaxed—sometimes the schedule wasn't full, so we could start later or leave earlier than expected. I would definitely do this volunteer experience again. It's sad to leave, Thank you Oscar!

I got to meet many amazing people, both locals and volunteers, which made my stay way more fun and enjoyable. The hours were respected and talking to the students is an incredible experience. Location is great, but it's not comfortable. The beds are all broken and make a lot of noise. At some point me and other people were sleeping on the floor around the house. The food is the basic, and it's not always there, so you'll have to eat out everyday. The cleaning lady doesn't go every week, so I suggest a schedule for the volunteers, to make sure everyone

It has been my first volunteering experience in general, and I've had such a great stay and so much fun thanks to Oscar, the volunteers, and the locals!!! The food provided was toast, eggs, rice, and ramen, so keep in mind that you might have to go out to eat. On the contrary, there are a lot of stores and restaurants around the apartment, which is also nearby the subway station! I would recommend volunteering here if you want to connect with the locals and learn more about their culture + explore Seoul and other cities :) P.S., the beds are kind of broken :")
