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.

I stayed for 4 months and for me it was a great experience! but a big part of it is made by the other volunteers who live with you so be mindful that you'll have to share food (eggs, rice and ramen - which is so nice to have!) 1 bathroom, kitchen, etc. That means cleaning after yourself and just being kind with one another. The job is so easy and fun sometimes you might need to adapt to beginners or advanced students, make them feel comfortable and welcomed rather than confused or frustrated 🥺 The bed situation is somewhat solved as we have 2 mattresses so it's not as uncomfortable to sleep.

The experience in the host was amazing. I made friends, built beautiful memories. Oscar is a very nice boss, he's always in a good mood. The flat is perfect too. Another extra point are the students. They are gentle and trying their best to improve their language skills. Thanks so much for these unforgettable weeks!

It has been wonderful experience. Oscar is a chill guy and he manages the schedule and students well. We are only assigned few hours per day and that leaves plenty of time to explore the host or even Seoul, Incheon and Suwon. It does not feel like work at all. I truly enjoy conversing with the students. Overall, I would recommend this place and would love to come back some day. Thank you so much Oscar for the opportunity. I left with a lof of good memories.

The experience was overall really good! Oscar is a great and fun host. I met some great people, and the work itself was really easy and enjoyable. It was definitely worth it. I think other have mentioned that the bed situation isn't the best but not a deal breaker for me.

The volunteering doesn't even feel like work: you get to chat with the locals and they're so funny and nice to talk to! Everyone is super friendly. 🫶🏼 The accommodation is in a great location, in a lovely area of the host full of restaurants and cafés and it's really easy to get to Seoul by subway. Oscar is the nicest and coolest person! I have a knee injury and asked if I could extend my stay and he was fine with it. Thank you so much Oscar!🙏🏻 I totally recommend this place to everyone and I'll definitely come back 😊
