Eslstarter was founded by a husband and wife team of former TEFL teachers. Our teaching journey has comprised destinations from Yemen to Taiwan and Malaysia to South Korea with a host of other countries along the way.
The experience we accumulated from teaching English around the world has helped us gain a thorough understanding of what it is to be both a teacher and employer in the TEFL industry. We want to help make your transitions abroad as fulfilling, exciting and memorable as ours have been and will strive to make sure you have as much information and assistance as possible to make this happen.
South Korea is a wondrous north-Asian destination. Wedged between China, Russia and Japan, it is a fusion of the traditional and the modern that zoom along together in perfect harmony. The country is dominated by mountains and exudes a stunning natural beauty, from dense pine forests to craggy mountain peaks, from spectacular waterfalls to white sand beaches. Skiing in the winter, beachcombing in the summer, heavenly hot springs, world-class cuisine, vivacious, vibrant cities, and above all a people who go out of their way to welcome you and make you feel at home. Korea quite simply has it all!
