If you like to learn about different cultures and interact with locals as you travel, I'd highly recommend this experience since the required work here involves a lot of conversations with Koreans who want to practice speaking English. The overall work was less formal, more casual, and easier than expected. Despite being the host, Cassia didn't feel so much like a boss but rather a chill friend which made it easy for me to get along with her. The dorm also had nearby convenience stores open 24/7 which was very helpful to me and other volunteers.

I had a great time here. The dorm was very clean and a nice place to live. There were 2 bedrooms (4people each) and if you are lucky you get the top bunk :-). There were also 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, a big living room and a washing machine. My favorite was the 24hour ice cream shop on the 2nd floor. I enjoyed meeting students and new friends at the school and outside the school. This position is definitely easier if you are outgoing/extroverted but if you are not that shouldn't stop you from coming. It is in an excellent location (cca 35 to Seoul on a bus). I'm looking forward coming back.

It was hard for me to adjust at first but the host really seemed to care about me and others and it made my stay so much better then it would have been without the host. It is definitely a comfortable dorm.

I loved my stay here! The experience was so good for immersing in Korean culture and learning about the society in South Korea. The students were fun and welcoming. The dorm can be crowded but if you can get along with people well enough you'll love it! The roommates I met were the best part.

Overall, I really enjoyed my experience. At first, it can be hard to talk to people but there's so much to learn about the culture. The apartment is really pleasant and close to the academy. The team is great and you can talk to Cassia if you need anything. It's a bit difficult to organize days with the other volunteers, but that's mainly because everyone's schedules are different. Seongnam may look far from Seoul but in reality by bus, it's very quick. Choose this volunteering if you want to help the locals to improve their English, learn a lot about Korean culture and visit Seoul.

I had a great time at the language academy. I would recommend this volunteering for people who are extroverted and can talk a lot or people who want to force themselves out of the comfort zone. All the students were super nice but as expected some were really talk-active and some were shy so I had to ask a lot of question to make them talk. We were 8 people in the apartment but since we had two bedrooms and two bathrooms it was no problem. Bundang is a nice place and it is easy to go to Seoul. It was a great experience and I thank everybody from the apartment to make my time there special.

Had a wonderful time with this volunteering position and met a lot of great people, volunteers and locals, who I spent a lot of time with. The work was agreed in advance and was pretty straightforward, and the dorms were comfy. Would totally do it again and would recommend it to everyone!

This opportunity was a great way to have contact with local people and learn more about korean culture. The dorm and building are great and Bundang is a very nice city. It's easy to get to Seoul from there. I'd say the one thing they could improve is to introduce the new volunteers to the staff and explain all the little details from the academy from the beginning. Thanks for everything guys, hope to see you again in the future~
