I recommend this experience to anyone interested in learning about Korean culture. The students are nice and I learned more from them than I expected. They are interested in meeting foreigners and to share cultural differences. It is easy to go to Seoul from the accommodation by bus or subway. I would recommend bringing your duvet cover for your comfort. Please be aware that the accommodation is a shared dorm, so you must know how to share with more people to avoid inconveniences that affect the volunteer program. Thank you, Kay and Cassia.

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.
