The Experience

Help Koreans practice their English by discussing interesting topics and sharing new ideas! It is less than 18 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 had a wonderful time here and absolutely loved the hostel work. It is very generous for only needing to have friendly conversations for up to 4 hours per day as work. You should be aware, however, that although it mentions 3 meals per day, this just means that eggs, bread, and Ramen are provided at the apartment, so you should definitely expect this to be more like one or maybe 2 meals per day, but you'll definitely need to eat out at least once per day.

My time the hostel has been amazing! The people I lived with made this experience the best. The coliving is a nice apartment that even with 6 people doesn't feel small. Working hours are usually from 5 until 22. But it doesn't really feel like work, it's just great fun! You don't get 3 full meals. But all the basics are provided: bread, eggs, ramen, oil, washing detergent… if you want fruit, veggies and meat you have to do some shopping or go out to eat. It's only 54 minutes to the Partyhub of hongdae, so going out is easy! 100% would recommend!

This the hostel is an excellent way to see Seoul and speak with locals. As other reviews point out it is about an hour to the centre and the food provided is just basic ramen and a few other essentials. the hostel itself is a nice place to live as there are enough restaurants and things to do there. The work is easy and hours sometimes end up being less than 4 hours a day so I would recommend this to anyone who wants to explore Seoul.

My experience in the studio was good, the students are nice and the working hours too. The studio/accommodation is 1 hour from Seoul, so if you don't schedule what you want to do in a day the time can be kinda short, because of the classes and the time in the public transportation. In general, my weeks there was really nice 😊

It was my first try on worldpackers and was a good experience generally. I enjoyed my less hectic life the hostel. As a volunteer you should plan well your day because the working schedule is posted on the working day. The working hours are often less than 4hrs a day, which enables you to have a break during the sessions at the language studio. Sometimes it can be 1v2 conversations and you need to talk with 2 students with different levels of English. The accomodation is an apartment with 2 rooms (6 bunk beds and extra mattresses). For any need just notify Oscar in written form.
