Company Profile - About Gone2Korea ESL Employment Services

From the beginning our purpose has been to supply university graduates with the resources they need in order to make informed decisions they are comfortable with. We do our best to offer the most up to date information and insights into the ESL job market in South Korea.

Our staff works closely with new and experienced English teacher’s everyday to ensure their transition into teaching overseas is enjoyable with as little stress as possible. We’re fair and upfront with the schools we represent, honest with the teachers we place and support and we continually strive to offer reliable information that exceeds our competition.

We gaurantee never to pressure you into a position you’re not comfortable with.

Gone2Korea Philosophy – Teaching English in Korea is only part of the overall experience and working at the best school does not guarantee a positive overall experience if the location is undesirable. Likewise, working in the best location does not guarantee a positive overall experience if your school is undesirable. After all, what is acceptable to one person may not be acceptable to another.

We believe that accurate information is the key to success in the Korean ESL recruiting industry. Our staff has spent the last 7 years weeding through schools, taking photos, building trustworthy relationships with school managers and directors, and most importantly developing credibility with western teachers.

Gone2Korea was established in 2002 while we were employed as ESL teachers in the city of Gumi, South KoreaDuring our time in Korea, we had many friends from home asking questions about the intriguing emails we were sending and the large amounts of Korean money we were saving. To make a long story short, they eventually began asking if there were other ESL jobs in Korea?, and if so, was it possible for them to come over and fill these positions?

At that time, just like today, there was a strong demand for native English speakers in many cities throughout South Korea. Therefore it was just a matter of finding the best schools to match them with. It wasn't long before we had people contacting us on a regular basis looking for employment in Korea.

After completing our third contract we decided to return to our home in Toronto Canada. It’s safe to say we had a very different perspective on the world upon returning. We considered getting back into our previous professions before we had departed for Korea 3 years earlier, however, after much thought we decided to pursue Gone2Korea as a full time business.

Today Gone2Korea is a leading recruiting and placement agency with staff and offices in North America and Korea. We’re a selected recruiting agent for the Ministry of Education’s various public school programs and we have access to some of the best jobs country wide. As of January 2010 Gone2Korea has secured school clients in more than 90 various Korean cities throughout the country. We’ve spent the last 5 years targeting schools in some of the most desirable areas of the country and can say, without reservation, that we represent some of the best private English schools nationwide.

Instead of quickly expanding into new ESL markets such as China or Japan, like many agencies do, we decided to continue our focus on South Korea and strive to offer more options and services to our teachers and schools. As a result we're now able to offer a wider range of jobs and better services to our teachers and schools alike.

Over the years we have developed solid relationships with our partners and an honest reputation amongst the teachers we represent. A large portion of our business is now based on referrals because of these factors. We ask that you visit our Gone2Korea Testimonials page to see what former Gone2Korea teachers have to say about us. Gone2Korea ESL Employment Services is a registered division of Venture Sense Inc., an incorporated company within the province of Ontario Canada.
