Michael’s Story

“I was fed up of not being able to find a job in IT after finishing my degree at the National College of Ireland. So heading to South Korea seemed an obvious choice. The idea of teaching, seeing a different country in its real day-to-day life, and learning something new every day is fantastic.

“I took i-to-i’s 120 Hour Combined TEFL Course and used their free job placement service to find my job here in Iksan, Korea. I can’t recommend this enough. It’s simple and very straightforward. All I needed were my TEFL qualification and degree to secure work.

“My first few days were a culture shock - everything seemed so different. I’m settling in very quickly and the satisfaction out of my current job is infinitely better than my last.

“I’ll look to carry on teaching English after my one-year placement. It opens up many opportunities that you don’t have in a normal job.”
